What does it do ?

Adds 2 new instrument : "bassline" and "dotted bass" to the programmable speaker for you to make music.

All samples have exactly the same duration of either 4 seconds = 240 ticks for bassline or 2 seconds = 120 ticks for the dotted bass , to make it easier to use !

1) dotted bass :

Has 84 notes from F1 to E8, to match but extend vanilla's instrument. Samples last 2 seconds, or 120 ticks, and are mostly "sound", no silence, but it's really a first sound and then some echo in stereo repeating 8 times in total. I made the sample using the synth serum following tutorial on the internet.

Here is an attempt at recording a machine that play this bass with a kick and an attempt at using combinators to make a sidechain , it's not perfect, but you can hear 1 note for the instrument, and have an idea of the difference with the other bass :

You can find the blueprint there

2) bassline :

Has 96 notes from F1 to E9, to match but extend vanilla's instrument. The sample last 4 seconds or 240 ticks , and are mostly "sound". This is much longer than the original sample, which may be a bit troublesome to use, but that's the way if you want to make longer notes with the bass :

Here is a demonstration video of 2 synchronized machines playing at first 2 bass but quickly just the bassline, and there's already too many sound playing at once, the machine is not very polished but you can compare the sound of the bass with the other video and hear those are bass for different music :

Future & Feedback

1) It is possible that the notes are 1 octave or even 2 "off", compared to other instruments, the bass are quite apart from the others due to their affinity with lower frequency notes, but the offset should always be a full octave between the label and the actual pitch.

2) The very high pitch note, are not necessarily properly tuned, and so are the very low pitch ones, albeit for the bass i tried to give more attention to the low frequencies.
