What it does

Acid bassline synthesizer

Add it to a track

Select a MIDI track and choose this instrument from Library → Devices → Instruments. Instruments turn notes into sound; an empty MIDI region needs notes before it will play.

Controls

ControlWhat to listen or look for
TuningMakes fine pitch adjustments in cents; 100 cents equals one semitone.
CutoffSets the frequency where the filter acts on the sound.
ResonanceSets the filter's resonance or bandwidth; higher values make a narrower, stronger emphasis.
Env ModSets how strongly the envelope moves the filter cutoff.
DecaySets how quickly the filter envelope falls after each note.
AccentSets how strongly accented steps emphasize level and filter movement.
VolumeSets the signal level leaving this stage.
WaveformChooses the oscillator waveform and its basic harmonic character.
PatternChooses the stored step sequence to play.

Work with this device

Start with a short passage that represents your material. Change one control at a time. Compare at a similar listening level, using the device's power control to bypass it. Save a version of the project before making a large change.
