AudioRealism has announced the release of ABL3 Computer Bassline, a bassline instrument Rack Extension for Propellerhead Reason.

AudioRealism ABL3

AudioRealism Bass Line 3 (ABL3) is an emulation of a classic pattern based bass machine from 1982.

The legendary silver box that is hallmark in electronic music has been recreated in ABL3 using analog modeling techniques to create a DSP-algorithm that accurately emulates every aspect of the original, 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.

ABL3 Computer Bassline features

  • Extremely authentic 303 emulation using our ABL3 engine.
  • Ultra natural knob response, scaled to match the original 303 precisely.
  • Built-in 303/Rebirth style step sequencer with 64 steps.
  • Hard sync to the host’s transport.
  • Supports 4 patterns of 16 steps, 2 patterns of 32 steps or 1 pattern of 64 steps.
  • CV/Gate input to control the sound engine externally.
  • CV/Gate output to control other Reason devices from the step sequencer.
  • CV Modulation inputs for Tuning, Cut Off, Resonance, Envelope Modulation, Decay and Accent.
  • Resonance and Gate Time trimmers that allow tweaking the emulation.
  • Three different VCO Models.
  • Noise settings for VCA Clicks and VCA Noise.
  • Pattern modifiers with Random, Alter, Copy and Paste functions.
  • Unique vibrato which is activated by setting UP+DOWN on steps. This effect is one of the few extensions to the 303 that we are launching ABL3 with..
  • Full 48 and 96kHz support, which means the engine uses the full bandwidth of the project setting.
  • Step Record mode which allows recording patterns via MIDI or the On-Screen Piano Keys.

ABL3 Computer Bassline for Reason is available for purchase for the introductory price of 55 EUR (25% off regular).
