AudioRealism Bass Line 2

ABL2 or AudioRealism Bass Line 2 is a lightweight application designed as a synthesizer plug-in that can help musicians memorize and playback bass patterns. Not only does the program act as a digital recreation of the bass, but it is also made to provide adequate synchronization with the host sequencer of your choice.

Functionality-wise, the application addresses users who have some basic knowledge of how to create patterns using slides, accents, and ties. Slides, for instance, can add a special effect when introduced into a step as it makes the notes sound longer.

Then again, if the next note does not glide to the pitch – or is not rested – then the note cannot be extended. As far as ties as concerned, you can simulate one by creating a step note and a slide programmed one on the first step. As you probably hinted, the second step entails you employ a note off.

Accents are another special effect you can consider adding to a step. Depending on how many subsequent accents you include in the pattern, you can end up with a quite interesting combination of sounds, so you do not have limits when it comes to expressing your creativity in this sense.
