"TAL-BassLine is a virtal analog bass synthesizer especially made for bass, acid sounds and effects. It’s based on a robust core and has the usual controls of analogue hardware synthesizers.A unique -18dB low pass filter with a lot of asymmetric and random components introduce a warm and analogue sound. Very fast, non linear envelopes are also a part of this synth.
* Bandlinited oscillators (saw, pulse).
* Sub-oscillator: square -1 oct., square -2 oct., pulse -1 oct, pulse -2 oct.
* -18 dB/octave low-pass filter (resonant/self-oscillating).
* LFO (frequency: 0,1 .. 30 Hz, waveforms: sin, tri, saw, rec, noise).
* Very fast nonlinear envelope (A: 1.5ms..4s, D: 2ms..10s, S: 0..100%, R: 2ms..10s).
* Simple Arpeggiator (up, down, one octave mode).
* 2x Unisono Mode.
* Panic button.
* MIDI automation for all sliders and pots.
* Precise fader control while holding down the "Shift" button.
* Supports all sample-rates.
* 2x oversampling.
* 23 presets.
* Tutorial pdf.
* ~2.5% CPU (Intel Core 2 CPU 6700, 44.1KHz, 24Bit, buffer-size 1024 Samples)."

As an owner of a real SH101, I was ready to be unimpressed, but after a few quick comparisons, I was able to get Bassline to sound VERY close to my SH. The controls don't behave the same way, though (especially cutoff) -- to get them to sound the same the position of various controls were in different spots.
ReplyDeleteToo bad it's not available as an AU. I use mainly DP (along with, which is how I tested it) and would like to use it there. I know nothing about programming, but it seems like a waste of effort to make a plugin and release only a VST for Mac. The only major sequencing programs that work with VST (without any kind of wrapper) are Cubase and Live, and at this point, I don't think that many people are using Cubase on Mac.

I too own an original SH101 and was excited about being able to store presets and automate stuff that you wouldn't be able to do with the real thing. I was sadly let down, i installed the AU version ( beta i think) and for the life of me i can't seem to get any presets to work, they are there in LOGIC's preset list but they just don't work, i choose one and the sound stays exactly the same, none of the controls move into their programmed positions for the specified patch or anything. So I tried to open it standalone in kore 2 and there isn't even a 'patch' area on the synth itself so how would you switch patches? Seems this thing needs a little more work before i can make any kind of further judgements.
