Looks sexy if u ask me!
I care alot about my kick drum and i think this will be all i need!
I would make my kick drum and sample it and throw my kick drum sample in Reason's redrum! :D

This did intrigue me a little a while ago.
I'd want to know how wide a range of timbres are possible. If flipping through the presets is like flipping through a good kick sample pack, with a wide range of different timbres, then it would be pretty cool - find a timbre preset you like, then have total control over the sound to get it sitting perfectly in the mix. Record the sample and you're done.
Though there's a possibility I could try it a few times, realise it doesn't offer better results than my kick sample packs, and go back to them because I don't need to worry about sending MIDI info to the MBase and recording the audio coming back. |

LOL! I have the Mbase 01 and it is far far better than any sample cd by absolute miles. The Jomox kick drums are highly regarded as about the best there is.
Easy to use as well. You dont need presets. You can make thousands of different kicks within minutes! |

Do you create the sound you want and take a sample to use in your song, or do you have it wired in via MIDI and audio cables the whole time?
Are there any audio demos which demonstrate the range of timbres the MBase can produce? Sample CDs have such a wide range of timbres, it would be quite incredible if the MBase could recreate all of them. |

what about samples from a Jomox? :stongue:
i dunno, i've never been a fan of synthetic kicks, they just sound really cheap, old and lame. most of my kicks come from real kick drums, with some layering of synthetic kicks. |

99% of dance music, especially trance uses synthetic kick drums!
The jomox can cover 808ish to 909ish sounds. Punchy trance and psy kicks and deep house kicks etc. I much prefer using the mbase to samples because i can easily tune the kickdrum to fit my track! very important imo.
Because they are raw, you can experiment way more with very heavy eq and compression before things start sounding bad.
With layering and compression you can make any sort of kickdrum sound you can imagine. The jomox makes your life easier and the bottom end is insane, so so deep! |

I have no doubt it produces great sounding kicks, but the thing with sample CDs is I can send the samples straight through to the master channel without any layering, compression or anything, and they sound full, punchy, etc.
I've downloaded a few software versions of kick drum synthesizers (freeware and demo versions). I'll give them a try at some point to get a feel for molding kick drums to the song. No, they won't be analog, but they should give me a feel for the tweaks that can be made. |

I understand what you are saying.
I prefer making the kick fit the track from the start by fine tuning it.
Thats the reaon i dislike many sample libraries. The sounds are already compressed and give me no room to tweak! especially the Thomas penton samples! |

I've got an XBASE-999 and am buying and MBASE next to it.
all my outboard is directly connected and plays realtime controlled via midi. This gives you realtime parameter control which you won't find with samples. JOMOX gives you a signature sound you will not find in sample packs.
A lot of people think that JOMOX is just another 909/808 clone, bur it's actually not, it has a very distinct sound of it's own. |
