  • At Superbooth 2024, Jurgen from Jomox introduced the new Alphabase MK2*, the successor to the popular *Alphabase MK1*. Set to be released in October, this drum machine features improvements like more knobs and buttons, adjustable noise volume, and a variety of sound engines including analog, membrane, sample-based, and FM synth channels. With 500 sample slots and a built-in mixer, the *Alphabase MK2 offers easy programming and sequencing capabilities.
    Additionally, Jurgen mentioned the *Moonwind Mk2*, which was released two months ago, featuring an OLED display, touchpad, and more knobs for improved usability. With a focus on experimental sounds and a built-in reverb effect, the Moonwind Mk2 offers users a chance to explore unique sonic possibilities.

    Interviewer: "How much sample storage?"
    Jurgen: "It's still in the megabyte range so not much. This is a drum machine not a sampler."

      "The Alpha Base can sample external audio on these channels *for about max 5 seconds*. Which is more than enough for drum samples. The recorded sample can be stored on SD card or being copied to the internal flash memory and then being played back by the other sample channels. Samples can also be copied from SD card into flash memory."

      @@HazeAnderson As someone from a certain era - 5 secs is plenty for a series of drum hits. A snare, kick and HH would be less than that - and as long as we can store a library of those sounds on the SD, that's just fine. Besides, the pattern would be mostly analog sounds generated by the AlphaB. Mingle in a few acoustic samples and that's perfect. This isn't a looper.

    I would never buy another JoMoX after my XBase 999. It shipped with a dead battery soldered onto the board, so it never saved programs. Some of the voices didn't respond to any MIDI notes. After a year, the screen died. They never responded to service requests. A friend had the exact same problem with the screen on their 999. They don't build reliable machines.

      "so i don't need to sell my original alphabase and buy new one," of course not, that's what Apple iPhone customers do. But listen carefully here: 6:10 take good care of your OG Alphabase and have it recapped in 20 or so years if you still have it.

    It's better to stay away from the overpriced drum machine. People mainly have problems and think that the sound is better than one for 300 euros, which of course is not the case. We live in a time when something exclusive is very expensive, but is not better. That's why Apple still exists😊

    • @A23049
      @A23049 21 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      It might not be the case for this drum machine, but ‘higher price is better quality” is still rather a rule than an exception. The problem is that we live in a time where most people whine about money and don’t want to pay more for quality anymore, which is why most products are cheap and suck nowadays.
      Regarding Apple, I use it, because it has the best OS for my usage. So in that case I do pay for the quality I want, I get and cannot get anywhere else.
