Pulsar 23 & Jomox Alpha Base - Live Drum and Bass Jam Session

I've been having much fun playing around with this beat for a while and finally decided to hit the record button. There are couple of noticeable bumps towards the end, but overall I think it turned out pretty good. I have to say, the faster the bpm, the harder it gets to make those quick decisions and keep things moving and evolving. Initially, I was planning to use just Pulsar 23 for this video, but then I realized that it would have been a lot harder to keep things interesting for the entirety of the track. So, I decided to throw Alpha Base into the mix, which I parallel-processed with a couple of Eurorack modules. At some point, I'll probably do a patch breakdown video and walk you guys through the entire patch. Drop me a comment if there's something specific you want to know.
Gear used:
@somasynths - Pulsar 23
Jomox - Alpha Base
@HologramElectronics - microcosm(FX send Reverb/Delay)
@walrusaudioeffects - Eons Pedal (Drum bus -Fuzz for extra crunch)
@ChaseBlissAudio - Mood Pedal (FX send Delay/Reverb)
@AllenandHeathUK - GL3300 Mixer
@ArturiaOfficial - Keystep Pro (Sequencer)
‪@QuBitElectronix‬Prism & ‪@NoiseEngineering‬Seca Ruina (processing Jomox Alpha Base)
I did some EQ-ing and added compression to the master in the post to give it a final touch. Everything else is as you hear it coming from the mixer.

This is super rad. Hard to nail the vibe in a non-standard way like this.

[@promanev01]

I would love to see this jam live someday! Keep it up, homie!

[@SonicJunkie]

Thanks homs!

[@tristangieler]

this is really really good. Love the shift in focus over the course of the jam and how the P23 and Alpha base meld together

[@modulosonoro]

Tasteful programming and enjoyed the track 😎. That AB kick really benefits from external compression and eq, I find. I usually have about 3dB of cut at around 250Hz on the desk, really helps it sit with the bass.

Much nice, many good!!!
I managed to secure a AB today but is a month away before I get it.
Question, is the KSP doing sequencing to the AB or just acting as a master clock?

[@MartsMcfly]

So dope. I wish I spent more time with jomox kit. I could never get a handle on the workflow and gave up. It really is incredible how good it sounds straight out of the box

[@JamesGiannoni]

Man this is so sick. And it seems like you've got your parameters setup in such a way so that variation and improv are readily accessible. That's so freeing!

[@SonicJunkie]

James, thank you!! For a long time now, I’ve been trying to strike that sweet spot. I still have lots of time and practice to put in. The biggest challenge and goal is to go full on live, without any pre-generated sequences.

[@wuewo]

that's so crazy 😍😍😍
