Bass Line – User’s Manual 13

Time Mode

ABL has two time modes: either the step is a 16

(

) or a rest( , mute for a 16

). In

practice this can be viewed as note on( ) /note off( ) for each step. Only on notes affect

pitch, accent and transpose. However even off notes can sound in ABL (see Slides).

Slides

A slide programmed on a step will make the note sound longer, and glide to the pitch of

next step (if the next step is not rested). If the next note is rested then the note will be

extended (see Ties).

Accents

An accent programmed on a step alters the sound in various ways. It shortens the decay

time for the step and raises the cutoff to a degree controlled by the accent control in the

synth section. Interesting things happens when subsequent accents are programmed into

the pattern. Since the (simulated) capacitors haven’t discharged completely the accents

accumulate in a way driving the cutoff higher and higher.

Ties

Using standard programming mode, there is no way to explicitly specify ties between two

notes. To simulate a tie, create a step with a note on and slide programmed on the first

step, and a note off on the second step. Since the note is off on the second step, accent,

transpose and pitch will be disregarded for that step. 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.

Alternative programming mode

ABL 1.5 supports an alternative programming mode, which can be accessed with the

Option->Switch Programming Mode menu entry. This programming mode is more like

the original 303 in the sense that there are now two modes for entering sequences:

1. Time mode (also used as the Note on/off button in standard programming mode)

2. Pitch mode (also used as the Auto Advance button in the standard programming

mode)
