That is a f’ckin painfull demonstration,
I am sure it is a good machine in the right hands.
it sounds very very good, but it is a pain in the ass to program
Well, for those who doesn’t know the Jomox drum machines, this demo is not the best to get an idea of how it sounds…
Any video link to suggest?
I thought it sounded pretty good
I like that the beat could be felt in two different places. It shifted for me a couple times. Pretty fun.
me wants !!!
I had the XBase09 and the rack 999 and the biggest problems were the horrible snare sound, as heard in this demo, and programming the sequencer especially the swing was a pain.
For the price it’s obvious the Elektron Machinedrum is the smarter investment.
