Scarbee MM-Bass – 12
It was a very fruitful cooperation—me focusing on providing the user with the best possible
interface in both musical and visual respects, and Thomas fully devoted to capturing the sound
of not just the instrument but what it can sound like in the hands of a really good bass player.
It has been a privilege to follow Thomas during this time—frustrating the times he decided
to suddenly discard all the samples he’d recorded the week before because they didn’t live
up to his high standards, but in the end a pleasure to work with someone with such a feeling
for both detail and the bigger picture.
My goal with the MM-Bass script has been to make the instrument so easy to play that the
user will never feel it’s too much trouble to use any of the articulations. It feels doubly reward-
ing to have been able to put all my creativity into something that I know will nally be used
as part of and benet another person’s creative expression. It is my hope that you will nd
MM-Bass an inspiring instrument to use.
