JomoxAlpha Base MkII Hybrid Drum Machine

Jomox Alpha Base MkII

Packing a heavier punch than ever before, the Jomox Alpha Base MkII is a refined version of their beloved drum machine offering analog synthesis and sample playback in an intuitive and playable package. With its heritage rooted in classic Jomox instruments like the XBASE 09, MBrane, and more, you could view the Alpha Base as a sort of "greatest hits" collection. But spend a few minutes with this beast, and you'll come to realize there's a lot more going on than you may initially realize.

With 11 instruments on tap, the Alpha Base provides a full battery of drums and sounds for any style of electronic percussion. True analog kick and Jomox MBrane circuitry provide your foundation and backbeat, while an array of hi-hat, clap, rim shot, crash, and ride cymbal voices merge sample playback with analog filtering stages for sonic spice. There are also two freely definable sample playback instruments, with the ability to directly sample audio from external inputs. And if you enjoy synthesis too, fret not—a six-voice, four-operator FM synth engine offers some additional variety.

With onboard effects, internal sequencing, as well as MIDI I/O and USB connectivity, you'll have no trouble incorporating the Alpha Base into any setup. Alpha Base MkII is the definitive edition of Jomox's beloved drum machine, and serves as a worthy addition to any studio in need of heavy-hitting drums.
