Jomox Alpha Base – Drummachine (Xbase 888/09 Analog & Sampling)

moogulator , ,

Es ist Zeit, die nicht mehr erhältlichen Xbase Drums mit dem zu verbinden, was heute erwartet wird: Sampling. Dieses Bild sieht schwer danach aus, dass eine Art neue JoMoX XBase 888 Drummachine plus Sampling (wieXBase 09) kommen wird.

Jomox seems to plan a sampling & analog revival of the Xbase Drum machine series – which looks much like something that might bother Elektron (Rytm!) – they „took over“ the parameter locks per step from Jomox. the Xbases had an interesting way of chaining / appending nearby patterns – just set the length to more one pattern could normally hold – and the next one will be used – brilliant. Korg has introduced a quite similar but more „logic“ chaining/appending system with OS 2.02..
