Demonstrating some of the “combined patches”, where (among other things) modwheel is used to crossfade between or to layer articulations. By overlaying patches you get increasingly elaborate figurations. The sounds truly come to life when patches are combined to create the illusion of a larger bass-ensemble.
The nodes meet and diverge, creating brief harmonious moments. By overlaying patches you get elaborate figurations. Standard long and short patches are also included.
Recorded in Fartein Valen, Stavanger. The hall is considered as one of the best sounding halls in the world, along with Musikverein in Vienna, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam or KKL in Luzern.

PATCH LIST
NODAL BASS
The Nodal DoubeBass Quartet consist of a large collection of inspiring articulations. Standard shorts and longs, but mainly patches with timbral development or a freely forward-moving feel.
