The Brane 11 desktop you mean? If so Iām having one delivered on Monday I bought one in new condition, right now Iām putting midi ccās into Digitakt ready for use with the MBrane so Iāll give some feedback this coming week.
Ah just seen you must mean the MBrane on the drum machine sorry
Yeah, no worries!
Been looking for some good Mbrane and FM synth patches/examples for ages. Thereās a pretty decent Mbrane snare patch on one of the included kits so itās definitely capable. I just find it so hard to tame!
Someone must have some goodies to share 
i watched the video, the electronic world needs more Jurgensās , Jurgen is my man, respect!
Good post! What, if anything, did you eventually settle on? Whatās your current go to drum machine?
Blasting the Alphabase through the Overstayer Modular Channel. Whatever you think about it this machine has a natural penchant for hard hitting kicks. Even though they arenāt my forte I must say I had a ton of fun blasting a few patterns at nearly 140bpm

Sounds amazing. I was just pontificating about the Overstayer Modular Channel the other day and how I wanted one. This isnāt helpingā¦ at all.

Hehe, Iām sorry I wonāt be able to help here as Iām really out of words to describe how much I love this box.

Played it today for the first time at perfect circuit. Best sounding drum machine Iāve ever played. Could barely figure out how it works and it was way above my pay grade for sound design. Still, incredible. If this had a better UI Iād have bought it on the spot.

Honestly itās really not too complicated. Iāve barely read the manual and I can sound design all I want. Mostly itās one knob per function, with limited but useful screen feedback.

Hereās a quick video I made about making super short loops, as if they were to be cut on a vinyl as locked grooves. Alphabase doing all the percussive sounds and also a strange cymbal.

Alphabase and a shit ton of processing
edit, later :
I made a dedicated video where I just run a few Alphabase patterns into the Modular Channel and turn the knobs for a while :

You have some infectious groove going in those patterns. Lovely sounds.

Iām eager to find out what makes this drum machine so polarising. From some, it offers the best in analogue circuitry, while others say it has a frustratingly unusable OS. When you look for reviews online, there are hardly any. Even YouTubeās most prominent celebrities have overlooked this machine. Why is it such an enigma?
Whenever Iāve used sample packs in the past, the Jomox folder has always been my favourite, especially for kicks. I also canāt entirely agree with everything the interest says (Iām often told I need an IQ of 150 to understand an Elektron box, which I certainly donāt possess). Iāve therefore decided the only way to find out if my favourite sounding drum machine is unusable is to buy one.
Hello Alpha Base, goodbye No New Gear 2022.

Curious to hear you find it, as I also like the Jomox kicks.
