============================================================================= bassist.pd ============================================================================= diagonal line in large box This is the filter envelope which you can redraw with the mouse. volume Move the slider (the black vertical bar which defaults to about 80%). Loudness adjustment may be necessary when you change the envelope. detune Single note transposing (ie semi-tones) and octaves are best done via jamx not here. envelope (labelled in German) Changes the envelope smoothly. It destroys any intricate pattern you may have drawn with the mouse. downsampling Select one of the boxes towards the right to get a granular "dirty" lo-fi sound. unstep Is the most important button. It appears with a cross through it when selected and will open another window called bassist-unstep which is a sequencer where you programme a bassline melody. There are three more parameters accessible via unstep: drive, attack, decay all threee of which are set individually for each note via sliders at the bottom of the window (by default they are all zero)
