Your videos are comprehensive and damn useful - I've had your site bookmarked for close to ten years and has been an amazing resource. Regarding this vid, I have an Mbase01 and was going to upgrade but decided to keep it - not much difference in the core sound - yes, the extras are always nice but it would mean paying double. Jomox make great gear and excellent support (Juergen replied to me while on holiday with an issue I was having with a unit):-)
I saw lot of questions about the Jomox in the post above, For me it is clear i don´t have to look for a lot of samples and edit them to get the kick i want, with this tool it is easy to set a kick. the parameters are very understandable and they are what we need to go fast, the tuning option in the analogue domain can´t even be compared to edit a sampled kick and change the pitch, buff… a time saver and a great quality tool, it is more powerful than any sample option cause it is analogue and the sound source is very important more for dealing with bass and kicks, also with synths but the analogue synth´s price goes up fast. great tool. Now i don´t need the manual :-) love the xinput too i gees it can take a cv signals to trigger it an other options than midi. I can see it soon coupled with my Arturia beatstep pro :-) superb thing. Thanks Great review as always.
a. This is very cool and I want one. b. It would be 15% cooler if there were an option to link decay to velocity; pitch and harmonics would be nice too but mainly decay. Any other drum machine with this option, or am I missing something here?
what do you guys think is better, this or the mbase01 or one of those vs a vermona drm1 mkIII? i have a vermona and i can make some nice sounds other percussive sounds with it but when it comes to bass+kick drums i feel like its lacking. i dunno i usually just chock it up to the fact that im very new to production and synthesizing my own sounds but i dunno
@TheHexeract With full-fledged synthesizer in the same price-range that will have many more features? All you need is an envelope routed to pitch, various waveforms can give you different harmonics and noise can emulate the metal noise click.
If you can't hear it, it's not for you, he also explains it very well. If you want a great kick sound which doesn't just sound like a rip off of a TR909 (Yawn!) this is it. Hundreds of different kick sounds available. If your music is very rhythmic based, this unit will make perfect sense. Particularly if you want to sound a little original, instead of like everyone else.
Not true. The unpredictable overtones of a resonant oscillator have created some kicks that are the foundation of dance music as we know it. Jomox has their finger on a certain sound.
The sound are recorded thru the microphone in the room , it doesn't make sense to review the sound of a gear ; sorry and just to really kill the review ; there is the sound of the click of the trigger you are using every time you are trigging a kick sound ; sorry man ; problem with your review here
+Thomas Muller ; I find your review of this review a redundant dismal literary diatribe, leaning heavily towards a scathing unnecessary banality that we all could have lived without.
+TheNinpinin what i meant probably was , " hmmm sad , i still don't know if this mbase11 is what i need for my kick drums " but it is so personal that i tried to speak for the audience by explaining why this review was not useful for me ... because for me , this trigger's noise makes impossible to ear the punch of the kick drums . i tough maybe i would not be the only to think that , no scathing banality here ...

Doing ace reviews already 12 years ago. Great stuff.

MY MBASE11 GOES BOOM BOOM
Awesome. Got to get one of these :) Great review, thanks
you make some really good reviews!!!!
thanks a lot!!!
peace!
nice work love the video
@laksemand Well we do now, this video is over a year old, all our new ones (or most of them anyway) are at 720p
really nice for my kicks
Still a brilliant module
An other vid with the Mbase percussion would be handy!! great review above.
Bet this is great for hybrid 808 bass drops picking one up tomorrow
Really love your videos, Sonicstate, but please up the res to HD ;)
a. This is very cool and I want one.
b. It would be 15% cooler if there were an option to link decay to velocity; pitch and harmonics would be nice too but mainly decay.
Any other drum machine with this option, or am I missing something here?
I think I just found a new sample to use, "my MBase goes boom!".
Dont forget the vermona kick
what do you guys think is better, this or the mbase01 or one of those vs a vermona drm1 mkIII? i have a vermona and i can make some nice sounds other percussive sounds with it but when it comes to bass+kick drums i feel like its lacking. i dunno i usually just chock it up to the fact that im very new to production and synthesizing my own sounds but i dunno
vermona kick vs jomox mbase11 ?
"My Mbase 11 goes boom boom"
Best part of the review
Is the Jomox Xbase 999 capable of the same base as this or does this have some advantage in the kick area over the Xbase?
do you think that the mbase 11 quality is the same as 01 or better even?
So is it worth recording it on a daw?
Back when Nick used to feel sunlight on his face when reviewing
@TheHexeract With full-fledged synthesizer in the same price-range that will have many more features?
All you need is an envelope routed to pitch, various waveforms can give you different harmonics and noise can emulate the metal noise click.
And FM input...
do u really hear the analog difference compare to bazzism, does it really stand out?
Old school Nick
"Bottom end !"
backdriftin'
@module8 What other ways are there to produce an analog kick sound? Besides an analog drum machine?
If not much money: Volca Kick, by Korg. I use it every day since I bought it. If more $$$ go modular! Hexinverter makes some fine drum modules.
A microphone/contact mic a bucket and some pedals?
"Creditable"? The only analog sources in the XB09 were the kick and snare.
interesting
Theres a lot of background noise for a sonic state video , is that from your computer? Surely not the mbase itself.
It is made in China,not Germany.
That metal noise is not subtle. It's sounds squeeky and is horrible imo. But one could choose not to use that of course ;)
... No instrument ever 'always sounds very good' >.>
What's the appeal here?
If you can't hear it, it's not for you, he also explains it very well. If you want a great kick sound which doesn't just sound like a rip off of a TR909 (Yawn!) this is it. Hundreds of different kick sounds available. If your music is very rhythmic based, this unit will make perfect sense. Particularly if you want to sound a little original, instead of like everyone else.
doesn't always sound very good tho...
Wow, seems like a waste of money. Is the sound really that special? This same thing can be accomplished so many other ways.
Not true. The unpredictable overtones of a resonant oscillator have created some kicks that are the foundation of dance music as we know it. Jomox has their finger on a certain sound.
The sound are recorded thru the microphone in the room , it doesn't make sense to review the sound of a gear ; sorry
and just to really kill the review ; there is the sound of the click of the trigger you are using every time you are trigging a kick sound ;
sorry man ; problem with your review here

+TheNinpinin It doesn't get much more banal than your vocabulary...
I know this is old, but pretty sure the mbase11 was not recorded through the room mic.
6.04. Only euros and dollars. Were English, get a hold of yourself man!! Put your own country first.
Great review otherwise :)
Fuck off.
