Scratching that synth itch.....

[Wilco]

I love synths & the range of sexy noises they can produce. Below is the set up I’ve recently put together (which obviously includes a bass synth!!)

Novation AFX Station / Roland JD-XI / McMillen 12 Step midi controller

The 12 step is plugged into the Roland and I can trigger pads/strings or whatever with my feet whilst still playing my bass. I could midi through into the Novation too, but that’s not needed at the mo. The 12 Step is part of my bass pedal board now.

Nice setup! How are you finding the AFX station? Have been considering one...

Thanks. The AFX is a very cool piece of kit. I’m discovering new things about it daily! It’s probably a bit of overkill for what I need, but kinda saw it and had to have it! 😆

Also, it was a limited edition so getting one now might be difficult. I believe you can patch a Bass Station 2 with the AFX software upgrade though.

Nice set up. I’d love that Roland. Always been a fan more of the Roland filters than the Prophet/OBX ones.
