Note: If you have ART X-15 Ultrafoot MIDI controller along with SGX-Nightbass, it will also need to be upgraded in order to fully leverage new capabilities contained in v1.04. Here's the link to the Ultrafoot upgrade chip sold in my shop on Reverb: https://reverb.com/item/41150863-art-x-15-ultrafoot-firmware-upgrade-eprom-v1-7
What's new in SGX-Nightbass Express:
A.R.T. has increased the power of the SGX NIGHTBASS SE by 400% and kept the ease of use factor unchanged.
Included in the SGX NIGHTBASS SE v1.04 are:
* Hundreds of new presets!
* Enhanced reverb algorithms!
* More gain!
* Dual pitch transposer
* Expanded digital tuner
* Space Phaser!
* Regenerated delay time increased
* Refined acoustic environment simulator!
* Expanded MIDI implementation!
All reverb algorithms, natural and fabricated (halls, rooms, gated) have been redone allowing you to experience great sounding effects. No change to the user interface for creating patches with reverb was necessary. When creating patches, just listen to the reverb type to determine which space is right for you.
We have expanded the Digital Tuner to accommodate a wider range of tuning options.
Included in the new options are a reference oscillator which produces a reference tone at the outputs to speed your tuning (or to give someone else in the band a tone to tune to) and the option of tuning to 12th fret harmonics. The delay length of the Regenerated Delay has been increased from a maximum delay time of 1150ms to 1300ms.
PRESET BANKS, WHAT'S IN THEM
When hundreds of presets are available in a device, you must make it effortless to access them all, as well as group them, in an intelligent fashion. A.R.T. has created "banks" of presets to supply you with every possible need. Four banks of factory presets, with a total of 430 patches, have been created for the SGX NIGHTBASS SE . The first bank, titled CLASSIC and designated by the letter "A", contains 115 instant use presets for the bass guitar. In bank two, the "B" bank, you will find 103 LIBRARY presets. These presets give you a starting foundation to build your own sounds, and also emulate different types of amplifiers. Bank "C", the third bank is the PRODUCTION bank of the SGX NIGHTBASS SE . This bank contains 111 patches you would use in a studio/recording situation. The last bank "D", CONTRIBUTION, contains 104 patches created by recording engineers and artists worldwide.
Bank "A" CLASSIC
We've put together a small sample of the multitudes of sound capabilities the SGX NIGHTBASS SE has waiting inside for you to experience! The first 30 presets start off with patches created to be "played" (1-19). Solo, slap, snap, distortion, and subtle effects are all portrayed here. Presets 21-22 feature the Digital tuner. The first one is silent, allowing you to tune in private using twelfth fret harmonics. The second one is set up to automatically detect the string you are tuning and put out a tone of that frequency through your amp! Even if you don't need an "A", perhaps someone without a NIGHTBASS SE does! X-15 ready patches (23-29) show off just what the SGX NIGHTBASS SE Express is capable of when used with the ART X-15 MIDI Controller pedal. It doesn't stop there, starting at preset 30 and continuing to preset 100 are 70 (this box does everything) presets! Everything from warm mellow chorus, types of bass sounds, wild overdriven ripping lead sounds, "effected" leads, milder dirty leads and "clean" lead patches. Be sure to check out presets 101-115 for some outrageous effects! Buried leads, various wah-wah, tremolo, sampling, pitch shifting, delay, panning and phasing are all featured here. Not enough?, it doesn't stop here, you still have three more banks of exciting sounds to go!
Bank "B" LIBRARY
The first 10 patches are "front end" sounds. Use these to set the bass (pun intended!) sound you want and then start adding effects as you like them. We suggest you copy the "preamp" sound up to the top preset numbers and create your patches there. From preset 11 to 70, we took the preamp sounds and added one effect to them. These presets are excellent for building straight ahead sounds. Starting at preset 71 and continuing to preset 85, are rooms we built and put a bass in. Straight stereo delays are found in presets 86-89. Preset 90-94 are just what they say with slight effect variations. Emulations of bass amp sounds are found in presets 95-103.
Bank "C" PRODUCTION
Individual effects in a patch, small rooms with different mic placements, clean/dirty miced amps, drum and vocal reverb patches are all represented here. From preset 1 to preset 29, each individual effect has its own patch. This allows you to just use chorus or compression or any other effect alone. Also, the effects parameters are set at their "default" value. The value each parameter of the effect comes up with when you are building your own patches. From preset 30 to 68 listen to all the different types of rooms you can have for your bass sounds. Dirt, clean, close miced, not-so-close miced, effected, bright, warm and muddled; the possibilities seem endless. The next set of presets were set up to be used specifically with your SGX NIGHTBASS SE patched into a mixing board or console. Vocals and drums may be processed with patches 69 through 111. For the vocal and drum patches, the mix has been set for all "wet". This allows you to mix in the amount of "dry" signal to your needs from whatever board (preferably an A.R.T. PHANTOM) you are working from. Remember not to limit your use of these patches to what we say they were built for!
Bank "D" CONTRIBUTION
Artists, producers, and engineers worldwide compiled these presets. Presets range from rock lead, interpretations of basses and players, straight, dirty, and of course presets which are totally bizarre. As an extra added benefit, we installed over forty of the hottest sounds from the SGX 2000 EXPRESS! Just let your guitar player friends check out some of the smokin' sounds, just make sure it still in your rack when they're done!
Bank "U" USER
Your own presets are stored in memory slots designated as "U" presets. When you create presets whether by starting from scratch, or modifying an existing factory preset, that preset is stored in "User" memory. Though there is no actual bank "U" assessable through the Utility function, the preset is labeled "U" in the title bar when you store a preset.
