Page 5: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Thank you and congratulations on your new ART purchase. The NIGHTBASS combines the dazzling effects of ART's own digital VLSI technology with applied analog and tube technology. The result is an incredible preamp/analog/digital effects processor for bass offering a level of processing resolution with the sound quality of multiple devices. -
Page 6: Getting Started
GETTING STARTED We have included this section for those of you who can't wait to experience the power of your new NIGHTBASS. Follow the hookup directions for the setup you use and then start playing. After the initial thrill wears off (if that's possible!), and you want to get to know your NIGHTBASS better, refer to the rest of this manual for details, hints, and examples. -
Page 7: Installation
INSTRUMENT & POWER AMP USING LINE OUTPUTS Plug your instrument into the Instrument Input jack located on the front panel. Connect a cable from your power amp to the Left Main Output (Line Out) jack. If your power amp is stereo, connect the left and right inputs of the amp to the Left and Right Main Output jacks. -
Page 8: Line Input
LINE INPUT Line inputs are located on the rear panel. If you are using a mono source to the rear panel Line inputs, use the Left (Mono) jack. True stereo processing is accomplished by using both inputs in a left/right application. Use the Line input for sending "hotter"... -

Page 11: Digital Processor Input Level Control
NOTE: For additional information regarding proper signal levels, refer to the Level section in Appendix A. DIGITAL PROCESSOR INPUT LEVEL CONTROL This slide control adjusts the amount of signal sent to the digital effects section of the SGX NIGHTBASS. It is located at the end of the analog effects section after Loop 1's return. -
Page 12: Boost
BOOST At 250Hz, control the upper end of your lows and lower mids to add some depth to the signal. PUNCH 1KHz is the center point of this band. Use it to color and fill in the sound. BRILLIANCE The frequency center is 3.0KHz and allows you enhance the upper midrange. TUBE CONTOUR Use this control to vary the harmonic balance sound of the tube. -
Page 13: Function Buttons
keypad entry buttons are used for preset effects control and utilities to be accessed. These functions are labeled in grey. FUNCTION BUTTONS The function buttons are those which select a particular function or feature to be executed or entered for modification. Status of the function button being in an active or inactive state is displayed by an LED next to the button identification. -

(especially with an X-15) you virtually plug in and play. But, if you want to program, we've made that easy too. Modification to select the specific values and ranges you want the parameter to cover is done by normal editing. The number displayed in the upper left corner represents the MIDI Controller you are working with. -
Page 26: Analog Effect Algorithms
(or defaults) to which algorithms may be combined and displays them in the LCD when you are "ADDing an EFFECT". All of the analog and digital effects parameters including the Mix Control parameters are controllable via the X-15. Some parameters were specifically tuned to be used with foot controllers. -
Page 27: Distortion
RATIO: [1:3] OFF, 1:1.5, 1:1.8, 1:2, 1:2.5, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5 The expander is an extention of the compressor. (You don't need the Compressor in the effects chain for the Expander to work) Use the expander to reduce the noise the compressor may bring up. Adjust the Range control for the audio threshold level. -
Page 28: Envelope Filter
Use the Harmonic Exciter when you want to enhance or add life to your instrument and add clarity to vocals in a mix. As you turn the Range parameter up, the effect the exciter has on the signal increases. Select the frequency you wish to excite with the Tune parameter. -
Page 29: Signal Frequency Shaping Algorithms

Page 30: Low Pass Filter
Better than an equalizer, the AES program actually knocks out frequencies over the entire spectrum, simulating real world acoustics. AES lets you warm up a room or hall, deaden drums, soften a vocal, sizzle your ears off with presence, or just make your material sound natural. -
Page 31: Swept Or Modulated Effect Algorithms
REGENeration is useful when you stack the Pitch Transposer with the MONO DDL algorithm. Each time a repeat is done it is shifted up or down by the pitch selected. The Base Key parameter should be used when triggering the Pitch Transposer from a MIDI keyboard. -

Page 34: Gated Reverberation Algorithms
Position (POSITN) puts you the listener where you hear reverb reflections. Front positions you close to the initial signal so you hear more 1st reflections and the reverberant decay is in the background. As you position yourself more towards the Rear, you "mix" the initial sound to reverberant sound ratio. At the Rear, you hear the signal decay with all the reflections and little initial sound. -
Page 35: Delay Algorithms
Gated reverb TYPEs have differences in their decay characteristics. The difference between normal reverb decays and decays when a gated program is the normal decay gradually fades into nothing while the gated decay ends in an abrupt manner. A "Sloped" gate follows a normal decay curve, and then when a certain level threshold is reached, it shuts off. -
Page 36: Regen-Ddl-S
are closer together. As the taps approach the set delay in the Lengthened mode they are farther apart. In the types you will see an [m] and an [s], the [m] means mono and the [s] signifies stereo. The mono tapped delay has its left and right taps at the same delay points where the stereo taps are staggered. -

Page 39: System Control/Level Algorithms
Start allows you to trim the beginning of the sample removing annoying clicks, unwanted sample material or dead space. Level sets the amount of signal level coming out of the Sampler. Use the Short Sampler, [SAMPLER-S] when you want to combine a sampled sound with reverb. -
Page 40: Efx Crossover
Select which preamp circuit you use. Four choices are available to insert into a preset. Brite Tube and Smooth Tube use the 12AX7A as either a clean preamp (Brite) or, for a "dirty" preamp (Smooth). Solid state circuitry is used when you select the Smooth Solid or Second EQ Off. -
Page 41: Tuner
By adding Programmable Level to the effects chain, you are capable of setting the master output level of each individual preset easily. The Programmable Level algorithm controls the amount of signal level after the Digital Processor Input slider and before the EFX Crossover. TUNER [TUNER], [TNR] Parameters:... - Page 42 before attempting continued tuning. The most accurate tuning will be obtained by adjusting the string after it has "sung" for some time while dying out. If insufficient audio level prevents the unit from making measurements the LED window will look like Display 1 . When you are more than a half step (100 cents) sharp or flat the LED window will look like Display 2 or 3.

Page 49: Building Your Own Presets
APPENDIX A HELPFUL HINTS Building Your Own Presets Building presets is easy, really. Don't let all those effects possibilities scare you. What we suggest is to start by modifying existing presets. By doing this, you'll become familiar with how presets are built, what's in them and most importantly the level settings. -
Page 50: Using Your Head (Amplifier)
3) Whenever you add an effect that has gain (ie. compressor or distortion), add the Expander first and if the noise is still high, add the Noise Gate also. 4) Limit the maximum gain in a preset. If you add compressor and distortion, you can have as much as 90dB of gain! This will bring up the noise of the system to ear shattering levels. -
Page 51: Miscellaneous Suggestions
for your normal maximum operating level. Select the crossover frequency with the Crossover Frequency control on the front panel. To fine tune the balance between high and low level use the front panel Crossover Balance Control. Miscellaneous Suggestions It is not suggested to use a microphone plugged directly into the NIGHTBASS. Even though the device will function properly with some types of microphones you may encounter level mismatch or level problems. -
Page 52: Examples
COPYING A PRESET You may copy a preset from any location into another easily. (If you want to copy a factory preset into another factory preset location, you must first Unlock the destination preset.) To copy a factory preset into one of the 85 user presets follow these steps. -
Page 53: Editing The Mpt With A Keyboard Or External Controller
NOTE: Don't forget, many foot pedals are configured for their preset 1 to recall MIDI program 0. This example allows for this and preset 1 is recalled when the foot pedal preset 1 is recalled. EXAMPLE 2: Editing the MPT with a keyboard or external controller. Using this method of editing, you select the desired patch on the keyboard or foot pedal, and then select the desired PRESET on the NIGHTBASS for that sound. -
