01Overview

TAL-BassLine-101 is aimed at producers who want a focused bass instrument rather than a general-purpose synth. The developer describes its raw sound as close to the analog devices it is modeled on, without built-in effects. Its filter is a self-resonating, zero feedback delay design rated at 24dB low pass, which TAL says was calibrated and tuned against its hardware device. The plugin offers a 6-voice poly mode, MIDI learn for all controls and more than 300 presets.

Sound Character and Filter Behavior

The core of TAL-BassLine-101 is its 24dB zero feedback delay low-pass filter. TAL says it was designed and calibrated for extreme settings, so it stays smooth even with heavy resonance and a high oscillator pitch.

The oscillators are alias-free according to the developer, and they generate all waveforms in real time without samples. TAL also says envelope transitions between overlapping notes are carefully modeled, which matters for legato bass lines. Original (RC) and linear portamento modes give you two glide behaviors to choose from.

Sequencing, Arpeggiator and MIDI Control

A step sequencer with up to 96 steps and a recording option sits alongside a built-in arpeggiator. The arpeggiator can sync to the host, to MIDI clock, or run free, and it includes several additional modes.

The sequencer supports MIDI export by drag and drop, and the VSTi version can send sequencer and arpeggiator MIDI out. All controls support MIDI learn and automation, and MIDI Mapping is supported. MTS and MPE are also supported, and the interface can be resized.
