acidlab Bassline - Manual (Page 3)

Lines write
In order to write the entire memory of a Line fully, the step switch (17) is to set to x2, and the step
switch (18) is to set to 16. Then two pattern with 16 steps each can be programmed. With the Pattern
rotary switch (11) and the Group switch (14) the Pattern to write is selected. If the Mode switch (19) is
set to Write, the sequencer jumps on the first step of the Line. With the pitch rotary switch (12) and the
Oktave tracer (20) the pitch is determined. Note tracer (21) determined whether a note or a break is
set. Slide tracer (22) programs the Slide between notes of different pitch, or connects notes of same
pitch to a long note. Accent tracer (23) programmes whether the note is accented or not. If the
selection for the step is met, this is stored with the Write/Next key (24), and the next step can be
programmed. After 16 steps the LED over the starting/stop tracer (16) goes out, and signals the
beginning of the second pattern with further 16 steps. If the 32 steps are programmed (LED goes
again out), set the Mode switch (19) to Play mode, and the newly programmed Line can be played.
Synchronisation
The sequencer can be synchronized over Midi in or Sync in (Roland) by external.
Midi Clock on Sync out:
If the switch (1) is in the position Midi in, a Midi Clock of the Midi-Masters synchronizes. At the Sync
socket a Sync Out signal is then for other devices with Sync in entrance.
Sync-Slave:
If the switch (1) is in the position Sync in, an external Sync master synchronises, which is attached to
the Sync socket.
Sync-Master:
If the switch (1) is in the position Sync Out, the bassline is the Sync master. At the Sync socket a Sync
Out signal synchronizes other devices with Sync in entrance. With the tempo control (10) the speed is
determined, the starting/stop tracer (16) starts or stopps the equipment.
Note:
At the Sync cable all plug pins must be connected. Some Midi cables do not work as
Sync cables.
