Subject: EQing an XBase
soc@...
Send Email Send Email
 
hi.

i luv my xbase.

it roolz.

regardless, it beats the living shit out of everything else on my mixer.

this is because of two things:
1) it's analog, so the louder it gets != clipping
2) i suck at EQing

so, I'm wondering if anyone can help me with the latter.

I'm running it into a board (2404) with mostly other analog synths, and
the two stereo channels are used up by an ESI4000 effects output and a
K5000s.  Now, the k5000 and ESI only get so loud.  I'm guessing that's
the optimal volume for them.  So how do I sit in front of the board and
figure out how loud the XBase is supposed to be?

This may sound like a really stupid question, but on all my tracks it's
either sampler doing the drums, or XBase.  Never both, because
everything gets messed up for me.

thanks

Try compressing your sampled drums, not super heavy 2.5 or 3.5:1...60ms attack
and a litle longer for release. (adjust the attack for punch and the release for "pumping")....Also try "subtractive"  mixing of the sounds, carving out the freqs.
that muddy up or bury the other sounds, in stead of boosting.  The Jomox drum sounds are PHAT and take up a large sonic space in the mix, plus the output from the Jomox is so hot that you have to set the gain fairly carefully or clipping will occur.
But if clipping is what you want there's nothing wrong with that.  Cari Lekebush has made alot of money off selective distortion and dub-delays :-). also try compression on these and your other synths too....

greg@...
Send Email Send Email
 
I want to be able to use an xbase09, and a kenton Pro 2000 so that I can
sych them up to an arp axxe, omni, and oberheim ob1.
What I would like to have is a system set up where I can filter the drum
seqences through the analogue synths, and be able to change the keys of the
sequence and stuff. I also want the analogue synths to be able to create
their own sounds, but use the kenton pro 2000 as the master clock to the
LFO's. I want this to be able to happen in real time.

Thanks,
Greg Morgan

Subject: Xbase overheating?
rlevreau@...
Send Email Send Email
 
Sorry to those on AH for the repeat post...

I recently picked up an Xbase 09 second hand and have experienced a
problem which I think is caused by overheating... but I'm not sure.

After playing the unit for about 30 minutes, the numeric display goes
crazy. The bass drum starts sounding shredded and noisy and the tempo
gets screwed up. When you stop the sequencer, a dull drone continues to
sound from the bass drum.

I turned the unit off for about ten seconds and everything is fine for a
few minutes and then the problem reappears. If I shut the Xbase off for
about ten minutes, I guess giving it time to cool down, it functions
fine for longer... but still hits the same problem.

When I touch the back of the Xbase near the power supply, it is very
warm, verging on hot. I find it very odd that there are no vents on the
unit... maybe its an early unit?

Has anyone else experienced problems like this?

Hey- I got a big favor to ask ;>

If you live around the bay area and have an XBase or AirBase can you let
me hear it?
I own an Electribe-R and would like A/B them.

You get to hear my Electribe.. I get to hear your Jomox.
Sounds fair to me.

Hello all...

In regards to JoMoX denying buggy software, I've always felt that perhaps
the U.S. models (when used in the U.S.) were perhaps a little less stable
than the European models (when used in Europe).  Obviously, the power
systems used by the two areas of the world are vastly different, and given
that JoMoX is there in Germany, I don't think they've had enough chance to
see "instability" in models produced for U.S. power.  I don't know this, but
it may be true.  This might explain why JoMoX is honestly less aware of
instability than you might think.

Recently JoMoX told me that they had a European machine returned to them
which was really buggy...they said they had never really seen one like it.
After running some tests, they said that they felt that perhaps some parts
supplied to them by their outside parts suppliers were "out of tolerance".
Consequently, they set out to try to improve stability via software (so "out
of tolerance" issues would be lessened).  They have told me that indeed,
they think software tweaking may improve stability overall.  Hence, Version
2.0 of the operating system should be released shortly.

As most of you know, I am the U.S. Distributor for JoMoX, and you should
keep in touch with me to get the new software chips...as soon as I get the
chips in my hot little hand, I'll post a note up on the users group!

John Van Nest

John,

I'd definitely like to get my hands on one!

Are you planning on having more work done on the site?  We should really
get you a new web host and domain name for it...earthlink is *not* the
best option for businesses.  communitech offers 100 email addresses, 350
megs of webspace, and more for only 19 a month...plus getting a domain
name is only 70 for 2 years.

talk to you soon

hmmm this has cheered up my afternoon....i guess global distribution are still
the distributers for the uk, or could i get this from jomox themselves (as my

hi everyone. maybe i came off a little harsh in my last post. i
didn't mean to say that jomox is actively denying the fact; just that
they are probably not aware of it. this as much our fault as it is
theirs; this has been discussed here, but never directly brought to
their attention. i'm sure they'll take steps to fix it once they know
it's a problem.

so...since i've gotten like zero feedback on my post, this *is*
happening to other people right? or was i on craque?

random notes drop in while programming...the 'baseline' sounds in a
pattern changes as other patterns sounds are changed (kinda like
sound leakage across patterns...).

i know i prog'd a pattern using the LFO's to do bass drops, when i
called it up a couple of days later, voila, the LFO had vanished from
the bass drum...

can anybody please confirm or disconfirm ?

i'm using it as the master, so midi clog, as Andreas suggested cannot
be the problem.

thanks!

umair

Hmmmmm...can't say my machine has ever added notes when sequencing. I
wonder if it's a stuck button or something?

As far as the sounds morphing over time, the following just happened to me:
I live in Los Angeles. Temperature through most of March and April was
pretty cool. A programmed a bunch of patterns with tuned bass drums. On
Friday/Saturday last week, the temperture suddenly jumps to almost 100
degrees (ouch). Time for rehearsal Saturday afternoon and a lot of my tuned
bass drums notes are flat, but up to half a step.

Has anybody else run into this? Is the temperature the problem and if so is
this going to happen every time we have a 50 degree temperature swing?

The new update sounds great although personally I wish they'd have added a
100 new patterns rather than drum kits.

I would just like to point out to everybody that my xbase power problems are

the glitches i'm talking about are most definitely NOT due to the
inherent instability of analog circuitry (ya like that
one?)...they're definitely software glitches...ie the random note
addition stuff.

Hold on- do you mean "more pattern storage locations" or "more preloaded
patterns"?

More pattern storage locations. Much as I think John did a great job with the
demo
patterns, I prefer to make my own. I also meant more performance/drum kit
storage
locations in the first part of my statement as well.

My mistake- I should have known nobody would buy an XBase just for the
built in patterns ;>

Subject: Midi Synch or Synch to Xbase
kevin.maxwell@...
Send Email Send Email
 
Hi Max here and I make trance music and I have 3 questions.

1. I use cubase with the Xbase and I'm not sure which is the most effective
syncing the Xbase to cubase or syncing cubase to the xbase(bearing in mind if
cubase is synced to the xbase then any sampled loops will drift in and out of
time. But I've been told that the xbase supposedly works best when everything is
synced to it....is this true?


2. How does one get a kick from the xbase to stand out like the geezas who are
making trance(simon posford for example). Is it compression, do i need to sample
it down and tune it up , do i need to eq it ?

3. Is it possible to get the groove from the xbase into cubase...apart from
sampling it and using recycle.

when copying f-->p; or from performance to pattern, everything copies fine,
except a lot of the time the open hat deay setting defaults to full, or
completely open. ie, if i create a performance where i set oh decay to near
0, and copy that into a pattern, all the other drum params copy fine, but
the OH decay default to 127--the max value. this doesn't happen all the
time, but it does happen a LOT.

also, let's say i overwrite pattern 4...then sometimes when i switch
patterns, let's say i am halfway thru pattern 4, then i press the pattern 5
button. what should happen is, that the xbase should play the rest of
pattern 4 before going on to pattern 5. what it really plays is the rest of
the pattern that was stored in pattern 4 before i overwrote it...so it's
like pattern 4/hit pattern up button/plays the rest of old pattern/goes on
to pattern 5.

i'd appreciate confirmation/disconfirmation on these. i've been in
correspondence with the J team (he he) and while they're highly fucking cool
people, they can't help us till we tell them what's up.
