Steinberg The Grand 2 Logmein Pro 2.30.511
Jan 18

The legendary silver box which is hallmark in electronic music has been recreated in AudioRealism Bass Line. Analog modeling techniques have been employed to create a DSP-algorithm that accurately emulates every
aspect of the original Bass Line, from growling basses to hollow middles and beeping highs with metal rattling accents. Patterns are composed in a fashion similar to the original Bass Line using the integrated step sequencer with easy to use manipulation functions such as transpose and randomization.

Since 2003 ABL has established its sound as the industry standard. In
2007 ABL2 achieves important improvements in several key areas. Amongst
new features the most important thing is the sound: The bass is
improved for less muddiness. The filter has been improved to incorporate
subtile nonlinear effects for additional squelch. The distortion unit
has been improved with less aliasing. The controls have been calibrated
to better match the response of the original. Moreover several new
features are present: The new pattern analyzer which can be used to
edit patterns and will even detect patterns from audio files.

Shuffle
- ABL2.1 adds support for shuffle, but in standard and triplet timing
modes.
- Pattern analyzer with Audio detection
The pattern analyzer is a tool for editing and analyzing patterns. In
further aid to help users transition their original patterns into ABL
an audio detection algorithm has been devised. That’s right - it can
create patterns using audio files as a source. How does it work? The
original patterns are recorded under certain conditions, then simply
hit Detect from wave and select the audio file. ABL2 will create a
pattern resembling the audio input. Listen to the audio detection
examples above for an demonstration.
It is possible to copy and paste patterns directly from for example a
forum or e-mail using the clipboard functions - no more saving and
importing.

Improved filter emulation
The filter has been improved so as to include the nonlinear behavior
of the original. This give additional ’squelch’ in fast sweeps.

Accent ducking
On the original 303 it will take the envelope a while to ‘warm up’
after an accent. When the accent knob is fully counter clockwise this
can be perceived as a ducking envelope. This feature is now included in
ABL2. Listen to these two comparisons: 303 ducking and ABL ducking.

Pattern library
The pattern library menu allows easy access to your favorite patterns.
It also possible to load several patterns in one go by selecting
multiple patterns from the Load Pattern dialog.

Other improved features
- MIDI Learn function now displays all mapped CCs
- Load multiple patterns at once
- Preferences dialog for easier setup
- Pattern section buttons are now MIDI assignable
- ABL2 imports the following file formats: RBS, PH and PAT
- PNG support for easier user skinning
- All ABL1 features remain

Formats
- VST 2.4 for PC
- Audio Units and VST for Mac OS X

Minimum System requirements
- Windows 2000/XP, P4 1 GHz, 256 Meg RAM or equivalent
- Mac OS X 10.3.9, G4 1 GHz or Intel CPU, 256 Mb RAM or equivalent

Note: Installing over a current installation should work but it is
always recommended to back up your current files (patches and any user
made skins) should something go wrong.

v1.1.1 news:

* Fixed: 303 style programming mode now works again (sort of, it
messes up with shuffle but nothing can be done about that)
* Improvements: overall volume is now greater
* Improvements: tighter attack
