Listen for a firm low end, even attacks and space between notes. Compare eighths and sixteenths.

How to play it

Import the MIDI into your DAW, route its track to the synth showing this preset, and loop the selected bars. Tempo and key are exercise settings. C4 means MIDI note 60; some DAWs label octaves differently. The MIDI sends notes on channel 1 and contains no patch change. It does not load the preset or trigger hardware from this page.

Kavinsky Nightcall Verse Bass

A resonant downward filter sweep, reconstructed for the Nightcall verse; hardware settings are inferred.

Class: mono — one note at a time
Category: Bass
Sound id: signature-kavinsky-bass
Research template: sound-research@v2
Research confidence: 60/100 · medium
Requested as: "signature kavinsky bass"

Identity

The Nightcall verse bass is a monophonic resonant sweep. This rendition targets that part, not the separate chorus bass.

research: 60/100 · medium · sources: How Kavinsky Created Nightcall — Verse Bass, paragraphs 1-2; Chorus, final paragraph (tier 2)

The Sound

Retrieved reconstruction: octave-spaced saws feed a strongly resonant low-pass filter with a slow downward envelope. Carr uses a roughly 2.5-second decay and adds delayed modulation.

Inferred hardware starting point: resonance around 55-65%, a low resting cutoff and positive envelope depth. Use near-zero filter attack, low sustain, and a long decay; hold notes so the sweep develops. Keep the amp open longer than the filter. These dial settings require audition on each instrument and are not original-session settings.

research: 65/100 · medium · sources: How Kavinsky Created Nightcall — Verse Bass, paragraphs 1-4 (tier 2); owner note (direction)

Owner note: The opened Verse Bass reconstruction supports the owner direction: resonant sweep bass. It is one reconstruction, not an original patch sheet.

History & Provenance

In the artist interview, Kavinsky names Lovefoxxx on Nightcall and describes working with SebastiAn on his album. The interview does not identify the original bass synthesizer. The hardware recipes here make no original-instrument claim.

Renditions

Auto-generated from the create-preset fan-out mapping outcomes; regenerated each run.

Behringer DeepMind 12 — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (deepmind12)" — mapping confidence 70/100 (medium) — 26 control(s) — Inferred starting values; tune the filter decay to about 2.5 seconds by ear. The single ADSR bank shown is VCF; set VCA manually to A 1 ms, D 2500 ms, S 85%, R 200 ms and select mono in the voice menu. DCO2 is square only, an octave-down substitute for the reconstruction's second saw. Delayed LFO depth and a separate sub layer are not serialized.
Arturia MatrixBrute — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (matrixbrute)" — mapping confidence 76/100 (medium) — 42 control(s) — Inferred starting values. Select mono and manually set ladder-filter Env1 Amt positive, about +55%, so ENV1 opens then closes the filter; that knob is absent from this panel spec (Arturia manual, PDF p.35). ENV1 drives filter and ENV2 amp. Use 24 dB ladder mode and adjust decay to about 2.5 seconds. The reconstruction's delayed LFO-depth routing needs manual matrix setup; it is omitted here.
Korg MS-20 Mini — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (ms20mini)" — mapping confidence 62/100 (medium) — 20 control(s) — Inferred starting values. EG2 gives a long downward LPF sweep; its shared VCA contour also fades the volume, unlike the reconstruction's separate sustained amp envelope. Adjust PEAK below self-oscillation and decay to about 2.5 seconds. The MS-20 filter differs from the demonstrated Prophet-style voice; delayed LFO-depth movement and an independent sub layer are omitted.
Behringer Neutron — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (neutron)" — mapping confidence 68/100 (medium) — 26 control(s) — Inferred starting values. ENV2 controls the filter through ENV DEPTH; ENV1 controls the VCA (Neutron manual p.8), correcting the previous swapped envelopes. Manually select LPF and oscillator ranges 16/32 feet; the panel models these buttons without their multistate choices. Set both SHAPE dials to saw, and tune decay to about 2.5 seconds. Its two-pole filter and omitted delayed LFO-depth patch limit the match.
Korg Prologue 8 — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (prologue8)" — mapping confidence 72/100 (medium) — 36 control(s) — Inferred starting values. Hold notes while the separate EG closes the resonant filter over about 2.5 seconds; amp sustain remains high. The Prologue two-pole filter differs from the reconstruction's four-pole voice. Drive is off at the synth to avoid stacking saturation. Delayed LFO depth and an independent sub-bass layer are omitted.
Behringer UB-Xa — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (ub-xa)" — mapping confidence 78/100 (medium) — 36 control(s) — Inferred starting values: octave-spaced saws, a resonant four-pole filter, and positive envelope amount. Tune the filter decay to about 2.5 seconds while the amp sustains. This is a hardware approximation, not a verified original patch. Delayed LFO-depth movement and the reconstruction's separately layered sub bass are omitted.

Inferred starting values. EG2 gives a long downward LPF sweep; its shared VCA contour also fades the volume, unlike the reconstruction's separate sustained amp envelope. Adjust PEAK below self-oscillation and decay to about 2.5 seconds. The MS-20 filter differs from the demonstrated Prophet-style voice; delayed LFO-depth movement and an independent sub layer are omitted.

Renditions

Auto-generated from the create-preset fan-out mapping outcomes; regenerated each run.

Behringer DeepMind 12 — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (deepmind12)" — mapping confidence 70/100 (medium) — 26 control(s) — Inferred starting values; tune the filter decay to about 2.5 seconds by ear. The single ADSR bank shown is VCF; set VCA manually to A 1 ms, D 2500 ms, S 85%, R 200 ms and select mono in the voice menu. DCO2 is square only, an octave-down substitute for the reconstruction's second saw. Delayed LFO depth and a separate sub layer are not serialized.
Arturia MatrixBrute — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (matrixbrute)" — mapping confidence 76/100 (medium) — 42 control(s) — Inferred starting values. Select mono and manually set ladder-filter Env1 Amt positive, about +55%, so ENV1 opens then closes the filter; that knob is absent from this panel spec (Arturia manual, PDF p.35). ENV1 drives filter and ENV2 amp. Use 24 dB ladder mode and adjust decay to about 2.5 seconds. The reconstruction's delayed LFO-depth routing needs manual matrix setup; it is omitted here.
Korg MS-20 Mini — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (ms20mini)" — mapping confidence 62/100 (medium) — 20 control(s) — Inferred starting values. EG2 gives a long downward LPF sweep; its shared VCA contour also fades the volume, unlike the reconstruction's separate sustained amp envelope. Adjust PEAK below self-oscillation and decay to about 2.5 seconds. The MS-20 filter differs from the demonstrated Prophet-style voice; delayed LFO-depth movement and an independent sub layer are omitted.
Behringer Neutron — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (neutron)" — mapping confidence 68/100 (medium) — 26 control(s) — Inferred starting values. ENV2 controls the filter through ENV DEPTH; ENV1 controls the VCA (Neutron manual p.8), correcting the previous swapped envelopes. Manually select LPF and oscillator ranges 16/32 feet; the panel models these buttons without their multistate choices. Set both SHAPE dials to saw, and tune decay to about 2.5 seconds. Its two-pole filter and omitted delayed LFO-depth patch limit the match.
Korg Prologue 8 — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (prologue8)" — mapping confidence 72/100 (medium) — 36 control(s) — Inferred starting values. Hold notes while the separate EG closes the resonant filter over about 2.5 seconds; amp sustain remains high. The Prologue two-pole filter differs from the reconstruction's four-pole voice. Drive is off at the synth to avoid stacking saturation. Delayed LFO depth and an independent sub-bass layer are omitted.
Behringer UB-Xa — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (ub-xa)" — mapping confidence 78/100 (medium) — 36 control(s) — Inferred starting values: octave-spaced saws, a resonant four-pole filter, and positive envelope amount. Tune the filter decay to about 2.5 seconds while the amp sustains. This is a hardware approximation, not a verified original patch. Delayed LFO-depth movement and the reconstruction's separately layered sub bass are omitted.

Kavinsky Nightcall Verse Bass

A resonant downward filter sweep, reconstructed for the Nightcall verse; hardware settings are inferred.

Class: mono — one note at a time
Category: Bass
Sound id: signature-kavinsky-bass
Research template: sound-research@v2
Research confidence: 60/100 · medium
Requested as: "signature kavinsky bass"

Identity

The Nightcall verse bass is a monophonic resonant sweep. This rendition targets that part, not the separate chorus bass.

research: 60/100 · medium · sources: How Kavinsky Created Nightcall — Verse Bass, paragraphs 1-2; Chorus, final paragraph (tier 2)

The Sound

Retrieved reconstruction: octave-spaced saws feed a strongly resonant low-pass filter with a slow downward envelope. Carr uses a roughly 2.5-second decay and adds delayed modulation.

research: 65/100 · medium · sources: How Kavinsky Created Nightcall — Verse Bass, paragraphs 1-4 (tier 2); owner note (direction)

Owner note: The opened Verse Bass reconstruction supports the owner direction: resonant sweep bass. It is one reconstruction, not an original patch sheet.

Renditions

Auto-generated from the create-preset fan-out mapping outcomes; regenerated each run.

Behringer DeepMind 12 — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (deepmind12)" — mapping confidence 70/100 (medium) — 26 control(s) — Inferred starting values; tune the filter decay to about 2.5 seconds by ear. The single ADSR bank shown is VCF; set VCA manually to A 1 ms, D 2500 ms, S 85%, R 200 ms and select mono in the voice menu. DCO2 is square only, an octave-down substitute for the reconstruction's second saw. Delayed LFO depth and a separate sub layer are not serialized.
Arturia MatrixBrute — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (matrixbrute)" — mapping confidence 76/100 (medium) — 42 control(s) — Inferred starting values. Select mono and manually set ladder-filter Env1 Amt positive, about +55%, so ENV1 opens then closes the filter; that knob is absent from this panel spec (Arturia manual, PDF p.35). ENV1 drives filter and ENV2 amp. Use 24 dB ladder mode and adjust decay to about 2.5 seconds. The reconstruction's delayed LFO-depth routing needs manual matrix setup; it is omitted here.
Korg MS-20 Mini — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (ms20mini)" — mapping confidence 62/100 (medium) — 20 control(s) — Inferred starting values. EG2 gives a long downward LPF sweep; its shared VCA contour also fades the volume, unlike the reconstruction's separate sustained amp envelope. Adjust PEAK below self-oscillation and decay to about 2.5 seconds. The MS-20 filter differs from the demonstrated Prophet-style voice; delayed LFO-depth movement and an independent sub layer are omitted.
Behringer Neutron — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (neutron)" — mapping confidence 68/100 (medium) — 26 control(s) — Inferred starting values. ENV2 controls the filter through ENV DEPTH; ENV1 controls the VCA (Neutron manual p.8), correcting the previous swapped envelopes. Manually select LPF and oscillator ranges 16/32 feet; the panel models these buttons without their multistate choices. Set both SHAPE dials to saw, and tune decay to about 2.5 seconds. Its two-pole filter and omitted delayed LFO-depth patch limit the match.
Korg Prologue 8 — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (prologue8)" — mapping confidence 72/100 (medium) — 36 control(s) — Inferred starting values. Hold notes while the separate EG closes the resonant filter over about 2.5 seconds; amp sustain remains high. The Prologue two-pole filter differs from the reconstruction's four-pole voice. Drive is off at the synth to avoid stacking saturation. Delayed LFO depth and an independent sub-bass layer are omitted.
Behringer UB-Xa — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (ub-xa)" — mapping confidence 78/100 (medium) — 36 control(s) — Inferred starting values: octave-spaced saws, a resonant four-pole filter, and positive envelope amount. Tune the filter decay to about 2.5 seconds while the amp sustains. This is a hardware approximation, not a verified original patch. Delayed LFO-depth movement and the reconstruction's separately layered sub bass are omitted.

Gesture	Result
Hold the key	Let the downward sweep finish
Retrigger the next note	Restart the filter contour
Add restrained late modulation	Optional moving tail; use manual routing where the panel cannot encode it

Renditions

Auto-generated from the create-preset fan-out mapping outcomes; regenerated each run.

Behringer DeepMind 12 — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (deepmind12)" — mapping confidence 70/100 (medium) — 26 control(s) — Inferred starting values; tune the filter decay to about 2.5 seconds by ear. The single ADSR bank shown is VCF; set VCA manually to A 1 ms, D 2500 ms, S 85%, R 200 ms and select mono in the voice menu. DCO2 is square only, an octave-down substitute for the reconstruction's second saw. Delayed LFO depth and a separate sub layer are not serialized.
Arturia MatrixBrute — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (matrixbrute)" — mapping confidence 76/100 (medium) — 42 control(s) — Inferred starting values. Select mono and manually set ladder-filter Env1 Amt positive, about +55%, so ENV1 opens then closes the filter; that knob is absent from this panel spec (Arturia manual, PDF p.35). ENV1 drives filter and ENV2 amp. Use 24 dB ladder mode and adjust decay to about 2.5 seconds. The reconstruction's delayed LFO-depth routing needs manual matrix setup; it is omitted here.
Korg MS-20 Mini — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (ms20mini)" — mapping confidence 62/100 (medium) — 20 control(s) — Inferred starting values. EG2 gives a long downward LPF sweep; its shared VCA contour also fades the volume, unlike the reconstruction's separate sustained amp envelope. Adjust PEAK below self-oscillation and decay to about 2.5 seconds. The MS-20 filter differs from the demonstrated Prophet-style voice; delayed LFO-depth movement and an independent sub layer are omitted.
Behringer Neutron — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (neutron)" — mapping confidence 68/100 (medium) — 26 control(s) — Inferred starting values. ENV2 controls the filter through ENV DEPTH; ENV1 controls the VCA (Neutron manual p.8), correcting the previous swapped envelopes. Manually select LPF and oscillator ranges 16/32 feet; the panel models these buttons without their multistate choices. Set both SHAPE dials to saw, and tune decay to about 2.5 seconds. Its two-pole filter and omitted delayed LFO-depth patch limit the match.
Korg Prologue 8 — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (prologue8)" — mapping confidence 72/100 (medium) — 36 control(s) — Inferred starting values. Hold notes while the separate EG closes the resonant filter over about 2.5 seconds; amp sustain remains high. The Prologue two-pole filter differs from the reconstruction's four-pole voice. Drive is off at the synth to avoid stacking saturation. Delayed LFO depth and an independent sub-bass layer are omitted.
Behringer UB-Xa — "Nightcall Resonant Sweep (ub-xa)" — mapping confidence 78/100 (medium) — 36 control(s) — Inferred starting values: octave-spaced saws, a resonant four-pole filter, and positive envelope amount. Tune the filter decay to about 2.5 seconds while the amp sustains. This is a hardware approximation, not a verified original patch. Delayed LFO-depth movement and the reconstruction's separately layered sub bass are omitted.
