The Jomox unit does look interesting. Does that have preset storage? I usually choose my kick sound once I have my main melody going. Sometimes before I have the bass sound happening, in which case I fit the bass to the kick, sometimes after, in which case the reverse. But most of the time I don't have a definite vision of the kick sound I'm after. I like having a folder of kicks which cover a wide range of sounds, then just going with what feels best musically. Sometimes that will be a hard hitting kick with a decent attack transient, sometimes it'll be a very subdued sound. It's an enjoyable process for me. If the Jomox has a bunch of different presets, the process would still be fun, and the samples would be cleaner.
I'd be keen to hear it in action, to see how much needs to be done with it, compression and eq-wise. (what I like about the Vengeance kicks, for my personal workflow, is that they drop in and work straight up. I'll eq a bit here and there as needed, but the samples I was using previously needed a lot more processing before they were ready for use)
Using the Jomox, would you create a single clean sample, then use that, or feed midi to the unit and record the whole song's worth of kicks? (I guess if you have automation on there you'd record the whole song...)
Why don't people who create sample CDs use machines like the Jomox, or the 808 or 909 to create their kick samples? Or if they do, why does it seem so hard to get a bunch of producers to find them and buy them, and all agree "yes, these are good clean samples"? (hmm, I'll have to check the mutekki website...from memory they have something on offer out of a Jomox Airbase (?) I could be totally off track...)
