jomox mbase 11 analog kick drum synth

via this auction

"Here’s some stuff from the Jomox site: 'The MBase11 can do only one thing, but it does it right: Phat kick drums!

It generates analog bass drums, from extremely powerful to soft and covers the whole range from 909-style to 808-fashioned. And much more...the LFO has 8 different waveforms including true sine that can be used to create very different envelopes. The resulting sounds are not simply *kicks*...this turns out to be a bass drum *synthesizer*.

The kick sets in very precisely and the attack sounds very snappy at all kinds of sound variations.

The MBase11 can also be used as a real bass with some limitations. If decay is cranked up it is long enough for tones and the pitch can be played on the keyboard in semitones over three octaves.

The kick drum can be triggered by an external analog trigger input. This is especially useful for live drummers who want to thicken up their live drum kit. The trigger input works with regular piezo pickups or audio signals.

Last but not least: one of the most convincing arguments for the MBase11 is the price: This is an inexpensive tool that helps you to create great kick sounds, without the time-consuming searching associated with mostly not satisfying samples. You save time and energy while reaching the sound quality you always imagined...

Tweak the sound you need. Everything is REAL.

Tune
Varies the pitch envelope of the VCO

Pitch
Basses as low as 10Hz reach up to 175Hz

Decay
Up to 2 sec

Harmonics
Enrichment of harmonics of the VCO - for the hardest kick drums on planet earth

Pulse
Change of the pure pulse part of the attack - gate time affects this parameter also

Noise
Change of the pure noise part of the attack - gate time affects this parameter also

Attack
Level of the mixing of Pulse and Attack

EQ
Filters the bass drum with a low pass filter - for soft and 808ish kick drums

Gate
Varies the gate time from 0.1ms to 16ms

Compr
Compression of decaying envelope - for slim and clicky kicks and all the depth that is needed

MetNze
Metalized noise. A complex digital multitone pattern of 255 different combinations feeds the attack noise

LFO
The MBase11 has an LFO that works on the pitch of the bass drum.
The LFO speed can be edited in BPM or be syncronized by midi clock. The LFO can be synced by a note trigger or may run free.
Another feature is we have implemented a one-shot LFO function that serves as an additional envelope.
The wave forms are:
saw up, saw down, sine+/-, triangle+/- and rectangle+/-.'"
