Imagine being a grown man and buying it.

I doubt AFX has a lot of fans that are not grown men these days.

Oh it just showed up for preorder on Blerp now.

$549.99, yeah that's gonna be a no. Was hoping t would just be same price as BS2.

It's $459 on the focusrite store, I really want to know why there is a $110 difference?

Also, I think the price is pretty good for what it is

Jokes aside he got a lot of young fans from what I can see on the AFX reddit.

Now I kinda want to buy a Bass Station, but not with this ugly design and artist logo (and I do like Aphex Twin). Does the original one with the latest firmware have the same functions?

No - some unique features on this one

Ah I see it now at other places for regular BS2 price now. Bleep must be gouging because they can.

Ordered! Now we'll see if it actually gets filled.

How tonedeaf van warp and novation be

Considering it sold out in no time I'd say not very.

Aside from the different labels, isn't there literally one unique function, the extended sub osc? 

"Dandy Gum"

"Mosquitohead"

"The Fourth Below"

"Warm Chillbath"

"Roy G. Biv"

"Tobacco Blessing"

i would say if you are in the market for a bass station ii, there is nothing wrong with this.

Novation AFX Station is the perfect combination of digital control with incredible analogue synthesis inside an already phenomenal, classic modern monosynth: Bass Station II. AFX Station packs all the same features and Bass Station II, including two oscillators, a multimode filter, amp and filter modulation, step sequencing and an arpeggiator. It also comes pre-installed with firmware v4.14, which adds new functionality including fixed-duration envelopes, extended sub oscillator controls, oscillator glide diverge, and the much-acclaimed AFX Mode.

So I guess it's just new firmware?

Actually now I’m reading it again I think it’s all just new firmware features which will work on the original.

It's the exact same thing, the AFX mode update is almost a year old no ? only difference is the look and a few new presets...

Dang, it just hit me that I probably can't go to Guitar Center and put on an impromptu concert with one of these anytime soon.

...and how many of those can afford $500 on a synth

About 98%

The economy is really rocking

Well apparently so, sold like hot cakes.

And I was debating whether I could afford to buy a 12" if one was announced today

So what’s the mystery Warp record?

I feel as though my brain is being sliced and diced into all kinds of different directions. What the fuck is going on?

I thought everyone was slapping everyone on the back about a new Aphex EP? No EP? 
 

So super sleuth what’s the mystery?

Rome Track pls

What mystery Warp record?

Japanese promo where you buy certain releases and collect tokens and cash them in for a Warp 2021 calendar. On the releases there was one with ? on it. Polygon WIndow re-release was one of the releases that had Quoth EP tracks added to it. There's some thread somewhere on WATMM about it.

what is this mess

It seems to be the same price as a BSII, so it's probably worth it for the better labelling if you're looking to buy a new one. I'll get one when people aren't panic buying so they can resell immediately.

secret guy told me that you have to buy the thing and press in secret key combos to play the new afx ep.
