Novation mono station tips1/1/2023 Instead, it’s just the appeal of the modular phenomenon – hands-on knob twiddling, sequencing, not needing a computer – that Novation is attempting to tap into with Circuit Mono Station. Novation has, perhaps wisely, decided not to release a bunch of Eurorack modules (yet) into a market that is becoming saturated and also a market where, very often, it’s a case of ‘the smaller the company, the cooler the company’ (even Novation might be considered too big). So, what have we got?Ĭircuit Mono Station clearly has an eye on the modular synth community. Both are innovative in their own way and the Bass Station has some great sounds – their melding will be intriguing. I was the first person to review this all-in-one sequencer/synth/groovebox back in September of 2015 and only recently looked at the latest v1.5 version to discover the all-in-one Circuit music making experience has matured to being “better than ever”. “You could spend that much on a plug-in,” I screamed of its almost ridiculous £399 price tag. The company made a software plug-in version and then bought it back in 2013 as a v2 hardware synth which many loved – particularly me. It did incredibly well for Novation, shifting gazillions of units. The Bass Station was essentially born out of acid-house music and one of the many products of the 90s that made Roland TB-303 noises, because Roland weren’t releasing anything at that time to do it (and people were getting sick of paying through the roof for the original hardware). Let’s just remind ourselves about the original individual pieces. And with Bass Station II selling for £359 (street), and the asking price for a Circuit Mono Station being £479, the extra £120 doesn’t seem too much to get your hands on all of that extra sequencing muscle. So, I guess you should imagine this as a supercharged Bass Station II – the same sounds, combined with Circuit’s undeniably great and flexible feature set. Circuit Mono Station is actually capable of the joyous easy music making that makes Circuit such a popular computerless music producer, but combined with the Bass Station II sound engine and hands-on control.
