Cyclone Analogic Bass Bot Operation Manual page 2

Introduction
The Bass Bot™ electronic bass synth features a selectable monophonic analog VCO processed through a
4 pole analog cascading filter. It uses 21st- century transistor technology to synthesize tones from
super- crisp self- resonating leads to squelchy rhythms to deep subharmonic bass grooves.
Creating dance music as simple or complex as you want with the Bass Bot is a breeze. Its ground-breaking
InstaDJ OS™ artificially intelligent sequencer can be programmed in two methods: by a human user or by
the computer- controlled Bass Bot.
Humans may program musical patterns manually using traditional step entry with control over pitch, time,
length, and special characteristics such as octave transpose, accent, and slide for each note.
Or let the Bot generate a pattern and use it immediately, or tweak it to taste, or mutate it into a new pattern
altogether at the touch of a button. The Bass Bot includes seven different 'personalities,' each of which
generates its own special style of musical patterns. No two Bots will produce the same patterns. Each is as
individual as the user, though the basic personalities are the same for every Bass Bot.
To the novice, analogic devices offer the ability to quickly collect a bank of computer generated patterns to
use to make new tracks or loops. To the experienced artist, analogic devices offers a tool to create
patterns that are impossible to imagine (or perform), patterns that each individual Bass Bot will uniquely
generate. This method of 'computer controlled' programming is similar to a band rehearsal, with the
selected Bass Bot 'personality' on stage presenting patterns (riffs) for you to sample and use however you
like. Seven unique algorithms control each seven unique personalities. The possibilities are endless!
The remainder of this manual will guide you through the processes of performing the most important Bass
Bot functions. Read through the first few lessons and you'll be enjoying the sounds of your Bass Bot in just
minutes.
We hope you love your Bass Bot as much as we loved bringing it to life.
