Aphex Twin and Novation Unveil AFX Station, a Reimagined Version of an Iconic Synth

After Aphex Twin‘s logo mysteriously surfaced on billboards around the world earlier in the month of October, the legendary electronic music producer has returned. However, fans hoping for new music will have to hold their breath.

Aphex Twin, whose last official release is 2018’s Collapse EP, has announced a new collaboration with renowned music hardware manufacturer Novation. Dubbed AFX Station, the synth is a reimagined version of the brand’s iconic Bass Station II model. The instrument features “AFX Mode,” which allows producers to introduce new patches on every key, transforming it into a flexible and dynamic analogue drum machine.
