Control Section
The control section is used to specify how ABL should operate.
Midi Led
The Midi Led will light when there is Midi activity sent to the plug-in. The plug-in
receives Midi information on all 16 channels.
Sync
The sync mode switch has two settings: Internal and Host. To change the settings click
on the switch and slide the mouse in the direction you wish to set the switch.
In Internal sync mode it is possible to set the tempo between 50 and 250 BPM
In Host sync mode the tempo control has no effect as the tempo is read from the
host, and cannot be altered from ABL.
Mode
The Midi Mode switch operates as the Sync switch. The two settings are:
PTN - Patterns are selected from Midi notes. Each Midi note corresponds to one
pattern, with the lowest possible note being pattern 0 (zero) and the highest note
pattern 127. A note on message will start a pattern and a note off message will
stop the pattern.
NOTE - Notes are played directly from the Midi notes and the internal sequencer
is disabled. This allows ABL to be played as normal synthesizer. If two notes
overlap then a slide will occur between those notes. If a note with velocity over
100 (default) is played then an accent will be activated.
Option
The option menu is activated by clicking on the text or near the arrow. This menu allows
you to alter the way ABL functions.
Midi CC
Activate Midi learn
Selecting this item will activate Midi learn and change the
item to Deactivate Midi learn.
Emulation
Switch to 24dB filter
The filter can be switched to 24dB/octave attenuation.
The number denotes the slope of the filter cutoff in
decibels per octave. The 18dB/octave filter (modeled
after the original Bass Line) has a brighter sound than
the 24dB filter.
Switch to non-exact tuning Switching to non-exact tuning makes the oscillator out
