"Pronounced similar to bossanova.
Bassanome is a max patch modeled after the 4-string fretted electric bass. By default the notes are E A D G but can be changed. Each string is represented by a pair of columns when the monome is standing tall. Two velocities and midi channels can be set. By default, the outer column of a pair uses the lower velocity and first midi channel, the inner uses the upper and second midi channel although they can be the same. Note that because columns are defined as inner and outer they are actually inverse to each other on opposite sides of the monome - this mirror-image actually makes for an interesting performance perspective.
This example shows playing the monome like you might an Eigenharp, Chapman Stick or upright bass. It is using two separate MIDI channels triggering an instance of Operator and Collision in Ableton Live 8. Delay is also added just because it sounds cool. After the short "tune" I play the top row to show the relationship between notes and sounds.
