hey, that’s so good. I would like to buy the sheet music to try, but I was wondering if there were any directions for using the effects. Could you tell me? In any case, great piece masterfully performed. THANKS.

Yeah same here because I wanna play this for a recital

[@StompboxClarinetist]

Thanks!! There are, you can find instructions in the sheet music that go over what order to put the effects in, as well as the pedal settings for each effect: www.marcmellits.com/darkmatterbassclarinet . The composer is wonderfully clear about everything in the notation as well! I used a slightly different pedalboard setup, but the general effects and the overall sound ended up sticking to the sound he intended
