FAQ
Does it have to be acid house?
No! It’s being framed that way, but make a 303 inspired banger and you’re in with a chance regardless of genre!
Can I vote?
Yes anyone can vote when we publish the winners.
Can I do a remake?
No, it must be orignal. Sorry!
Can I use samples?
If you don’t have the right to distribute the file, we can not publish it to be in with a chance to be voted as a winner. Best avoid samples!
About ABL3
Bassline 3 is AudioRealism’s latest version of their acclaimed series of 303 emulation plugins. The plugin is a complete redesign from the previously released ABL2 and promises to be AudioRealism’s most authentic emulation to date.
Other than the improved quality of the emulation, ABL3 also features a brand new pattern edit view, allowing for easy programming, a real-time randomizer, a wave analyzer, the ability to import patterns from the TB-03 and the TD-03, a step record function (via Midi), and a vibrato effect.
Here’s a comparison between ABL3 and the TB-303.
