Jomox Alpha Base "in the mix" - Oberheim Matrix-1000, Novation Peak, Deluge, Acidbox

Published on Apr 11, 2018 Charles Whiley

"Here we have a simple 4 on the floor kick drum sequence running from the Jomox Alpha Base analog drum synthesizer. This is my very first attempt at sending MIDI clock to it and integrating it with the rest of my gear. The shaker/hat sound is not the Alpha Base but rather is coming from the Synthstrom Deluge's internal drum samples. The bass line is the Oberheim Matrix-1000 w/ Stereoping controller, Erica Synths AcidBox II, and the TC Electronics G-Major effects processor. The melodic line is the Novation Peak."

QUICK LIVE TECHNO IMPROV - With Alpha Base, DFAM, Odessa + Timeline, Octatrack

"Quick live techno improv (142BPM) with the
- Jomox Alpha Base + Oto Boum
- Moog DFAM
- Xaoc Devices Odessa + Strymon Timeline
- Elektron Octatrack MK2
- Allen & Heath Xone 96

Just got the Xaoc Devices Odessa and wanted to try it out! DFAM + Alpha Base + Oto Boum is such a good combo! Had to beat match the OT + Alpha Base live with the modular + DFAM because they were not synced :)"

Alpha Base Noisy Techno

NoizeHack

"I tried out a Jomox Alpha Base. It sounds great, of course the Jomox kick is amazing, it has the weird and interesting mBrane which i ran through the DBA Ghost Delay. It has an FM synth with a 4x4 matrix for dialing in modulation, but I wish it had more envelope control over modulation amount. The rest of the sounds are samples going through analog filters, you can pitch them a ton, its pretty fun to pitch tiny rides down into deep gongs and short snappy claps into giant noise bursts.

I used Patterning 2 to sequence the Alpha Base and all the sounds are going out on separate channels and mixed in the BX-8 with the preamps overdriven."

"Eleven instruments, sequencer, Midi/USB/SD-Card. Samples. Sampling inputs, balanced individual outputs.

Although it may appear similar to the classics XBASE 09, 999 and 888, the ALPHA BASE has an entirely new design under the hood. We have put in the concentrated know-how of the Jomox drum machines and of our synths of the past 20 years. We have simplified some things, but also added new components or have combined them new. The outcome is the best sounding and most versatile drum machine that Jomox has ever built.
