The legendary silver
box which is hallmark in electronic music has been recreated in
AudioRealism Bass Line 2 (ABL2). Analog modeling techniques have been
employed to create a DSP-algorithm that accurately emulates every
aspect of the original 303, from growling basses to hollow
middles and beeping highs with metal rattling accents. Patterns are
composed in a fashion similar to the original using the integrated
step sequencer with easy to use manipulation functions such as
transpose and randomization
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.

The configuration screen
allows you to customize your ABL2 to your liking, we even go as far as
allowing you to tweak some of the internals such the Filter Vcc feed
voltage, pre-gain and basic frequency offset. There is also options
for selecting VCA clicks and whether to auto level the volume (which
is like a compressor but without any lag).
Some unsolicited comments from
users and press:
"After closely comparing ABL2 with a
genuine 303, it's clear that AudioRealism's virtual clone is a dead
ringer for the real deal". Read the full review

Kai Tracid: "The ABL is a real joy, the interface
and sound is just like the Real thing! I've been using it extensively
and it is totally stable." - Kai Tracid
ABL2 has for several
years been the highest ranked software 303 emulation clone on the
