«  Beautiful machine with a very marked. »

Published on 06/24/12 at 04:58
Here is a drum machine with a subtle mix original analog and digital basic for everything else. Use the front for much of the functions and menus in the rest. From this point of view it's pretty well done and deserves praise. Effects but lacking a sequencer Roland TR-type very intuitive, great lines to start quickly.

UTILIZATION

The use does not require great skill and is acquired fairly quickly if you deign to take a look in the manual provided that the manufacturer is not clear enough. Editing is fairly fluid.
So use this level is pretty simple, just a matter of habit like all machines equipped with modern menus in addition to their general display.

SOUNDS

As for his part well and there I will be very critical because it does not fit all. It is imperative to listen to it and manipulate it to get an idea. We can say that the game is fairly analoque binary (kick, snare, tom, high and low ') and the digital part not dress too bad those first sounds (except that one feels a lack of obvious memory planed on certain sounds as they say).
Curiously I have not managed to find a place of choice, not because it is bad but the sound is very distinctive Jomox. I think to use experimental electronica, see Synthpop Hip Hop or Trip Hop (lots of 'Hop' in fact) that's fine but otherwise I'm tank. I'm not one to give a style or a label to an instrument but the Jomox is clearly pointing in this direction.
Part sampler is pretty well done but I was a little on my hunger, there is a lack of momentum on the machine. I had my beautiful compress database files, nothing to do sound seemed a bit flat, down. Caution may be it is related to the potato sounds like the Jomox so I did would argue no more. But no matter what is more significant on a machine of this type today.

OVERALL OPINION

It is imperative to try it before going as it can become the tool dream or just the opposite. For my part, it was not the case, I had the great deal in every way I've never really managed to get him the perfect set. I kept one and I am separated for a percussion generator less successful but more up my alley at her.

Finally we can say that the Jomox 888 is a good drum machine, very well built, very well thought out, very strong and very aesthetic (TR909 style) but the sound has a well-defined identity that requires an assiduous listening before acquisition . Enjoy!
