Page 3: Features
The voice of the original Bass Line is well known and has become standard studio equipment. The AudioRealism Bass Line is a digital recreation of that instrument, offering every characteristic of the analog instruments while maintaining all the benefits of digital algorithms. -
Page 4: Installation
Architecture The architecture of the original Bass Line synthesizer is rather simple. It has one voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), one voltage controlled filter (VCF) and one voltage controlled amplifier (VCA). The VCF and VCA are controlled by an envelope generator (EG) with decay and modulation amount controls. -
Page 5: Layout
Layout The AudioRealism Bass Line user interface is divided into three sections: 1. Control 2. Synthesizer 3. Pattern programming interface Control Synthesizer Pattern interface ABL is operated by using the mouse to change the different controls. Knobs – Click the knob and drag the mouse. Dragging the mouse up or down in linear mode turns the knob clockwise or counterclockwise. -
Page 6: Control Section
The number denotes the slope of the filter cutoff in decibels per octave. The 18dB/octave filter (modeled after the original Bass Line) has a brighter sound than the 24dB filter. Switch to non-exact tuning Switching to non-exact tuning makes the oscillator out... -

The most 303 like setting is approximately 20% distortion. Volume - The volume control simply affects volume. When the volume is set to 75% or more the sound will begin to clip. This is also the nature of the original Bass Line. Bass Line – User’s Manual... -

To make the note even longer extend it further by activating the slide on the second step. Example: Programming four notes with time modes set to and slides on steps 1, 2 and 3 will produce a whole note. Bass Line – User’s Manual... -

Page 14: Using Pattern Mode
Example: if ABL is on step 13 and switches to a 4 step pattern, the first step played in the new pattern will be 2, since the remainder of 13/4 is 1 (the second step counting from zero). Bass Line – User’s Manual... -
Page 15: Using Note Mode
. This approximates the standard gate time of ABL which is about 55% of the total note, and is needed for accurate 303 emulation. If you prefer to play legato that is of course perfectly fine as well. Example of programming in Note mode Bass Line – User’s Manual... -
Page 16: Importing Rebirth 338 Patterns
Each instance of ABL has its own memory. In order to copy patterns from one instance to another, you need to either: 1. Export the pattern using the Export function in the Option menu, then import the pattern into the other instance. Bass Line – User’s Manual... -
