ABL1 was released in 2003 and became quickly one of the most popular 303 emulations as a VST plug-in. ABL2 improved on that and was released 2007. ABL3 is the latest version of our 303 emulation platform.

The ABL3 engine is a complete rewrite and has been in development for many years with the single goal of making the most authentic 303 emulation possible. With ABL3 we hope it will set a new benchmark in analog emulation.

ABL3.1.1 Improvements:

Pattern Grid Edit mode

Advanced Randomizer

Integrated distortion unit with hipass control

Minor sound engine improvements (less noise and aliasing, improved clarity)

23 Additional patches

Features

Extremely authentic 303 emulation using our ABL3 engine

Ultra natural knob response, scaled to match the original 303 precisely

Built-in 303/Rebirth style step sequencer with 64 steps

Hard sync to the host's transport

Supports 4 patterns of 16 steps, 2 patterns of 32 steps or 1 pattern of 64 steps

CV/Gate input to control the sound engine externally

CV/Gate output to control other Reason devices from the step sequencer

CV Modulation inputs for Tuning, Cut Off, Resonance, Envelope Modulation, Decay and Accent

Resonance and Gate Time trimmers that allow tweaking the emulation

Three different VCO Models

Noise settings for VCA Clicks and VCA Noise

Pattern modifiers with Random, Alter, Copy and Paste functions

Unique vibrato which is activated by setting UP+DOWN on steps. This effect is one of the few extensions to the 303 that we are launching ABL3 with.

Full 48 and 96kHz support, which means the engine uses the full bandwidth of the project setting

Step Record mode which allows recording patterns via MIDI or the On-Screen Piano Keys
