[@bis5260]

Great Visual FX! Nice JAM!!💎

[@McOwenWilson]

Nice jam. You show off some cool machines.

[@CaveWay]

Thanks for checking it out 🤙

[@jmcbeady8210]

Love this jam.

[@CaveWay]

Appreciate it 🤙

[@noobslayerr9732]

Bro smtimes mpc and alpha go out of sync. For dawless a beatstep pro can adress that or i need smth like an acme4 clock Thanks man u the best love ur funk grooves

[@CaveWay]

Thanks dude. I’ve been looking at an erm multiclock but haven’t pulled the trigger as they aren’t cheap!

[@joserancel6255]

Really good!!! 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@Android-Zen]

Alpha base or Tanzbar 2? Which is more fun to play and perform live? How do they compare?

[@CaveWay]

Tough call personally- They’re both fun. TB2 is more capable jamming live but the AB has hotter outputs making it way easier to record in the studio with minimal processing. Tb2 has better implementation of parameter locks but the AB has deeper sound design (but with less actual analog instruments). Both have fairly unique UI and both have a workflow that makes me create things with different results. Sooooo this is basically a long way of saying I don’t have an answer 😃

[@maxmaxington5873]

Any chance you can do a tutorial on the alpha base man?

[@CaveWay]

Definitely! But my output has been slow lately as I’ve been using my free time to learn Ableton 🤙

[@Bavinckovic]

Hey, do you ever clock your Alpha Base from the MPC? Got the MPC One running my modular setup and looking for some awesom drumcomputer with it. Groovy sound man, keep it up

[@CaveWay]

I do clock the AB with the MPC live. More of ten than not I use the MPC to sequence the drums because it’s so easy

[@_EightySix]

LMAO dude, you remember me? Anyway, smiled massively when I just now saw your post of this video with the AB.

[@CaveWay]

EightySix 😂

[@FabriceMillion]

It's in my list too! 😂

[@CaveWay]

Gotta have them all!

[@peglapegla]

Really good

[@CaveWay]

Dario Matic thanks 🤙 your vids inspired me to get one.

[@Iofflight78]

I'll be curious to know what you think of the this compared to the TB2 ultimately.

[@CaveWay]

syzygywell for sure. The AB is so new - once I have a chance to get familiar with it I’ll put some thoughts down

[@Iofflight78]

Hey man just checking back in. So how are you feeling about the TB2 vs JAB? Also did you get your S2400 yet?

[@CaveWay]

Yo What’s good? Still use them both but honestly lately I’ve been trying to learn ableton - which is super new to me. Its easier to travel with and with my half vax work travel will start up soon..... I gave up my spot on the s2400 and used the refund to get live suite..... most likely will regret that BUT i stay in tune with the message board an FB group.

[@Iofflight78]

@@CaveWay Oh that's too bad man. I'm loving mine. Feel super lucky to have gotten it at the preorder price. But Ableton Suite is excellent. It's my primary sequencer and recording set up. I decided TB2 interface wasn't for me. The Jomox looks great though.

[@_EightySix]

So dope. Too expensive and I can't get over the bad reviews about the OS, MFB is bad enough, but yeah, such a delicious machine. Got my full sized OB6 2 days ago. That shit is disgusting.

[@CaveWay]

EightySix awesome on the OB6!

[@_EightySix]

@@CaveWay Thx man. I was happy to see a vid from you, just got back from a 7 month deployment with no ports. Anything that reminds us of home is a welcome, but I've always loved your vids because you have gear that I love and your noodling is amazing.

[@CaveWay]

EightySix damn bro - 7 months??? I can’t imagine. Since you mention ports does that make you A Navy guy?

[@_EightySix]

@@CaveWay That's affirmative. And yeah, still don't know how we made it through hah. I imagine not having a choice helped a bit.

[@BoardnotBored]

Sick jam🤘🤘 What's the box of knobs next to the Behringer acid box?

[@CaveWay]

BoardnotBored MFB dominion club. Fun mono synth

[@nikarga]

Well done... am in bed and am now itching to shake a bit... is the snare/clap coming from the MFB?

[@CaveWay]

Andromeda Music all drums from the alpha base. The MFB is holding down bass/sub bass 🤙

[@nikarga]

@@CaveWay awesome.. i just bought an AB again haha

[@CaveWay]

Andromeda Music nice! Sometimes you just gotta try something again 🤙. I did that with the OP1 and reconfirmed it’s awesome but not for me.

[@nikarga]

Cave Way lol, ditto on the OP-1... also with tanzbar 1 (twice) and machinedrum (x3) times 🙄😬 dont own them no more so I feel you.

[@visby2548]

​@@nikarga MD 3x, MnM 3x, Octa 2x, AR 2x :|. A4 2x, but still own both. :)

[@MadelnMachines]

Are you getting good snares out of it? I wish it had more mbrane voices. How do you like it compared to the Tanzbar 2?

[@CaveWay]

Made In Machines I like sampling my own drum set for the snare and loading it into the AB. I use the mbrane more for percussion at this point, I don’t know the AB well enough to make a decent snare out of it.

[@telkmx]

@@CaveWay I'm really interested in a comparison from you between the tanzbar 2 and the alphabase :)

[@CaveWay]

telkmx totally! once I have had some more time with the AB I’ll see what I can do. Their both great drum machines so you really can’t go wrong with either. Depends on what box(es) need to be checked but they both have pros and cons.

[@visby2548]

Really want to try the Jomox, but 90% certain I will be disappointed with everything by the sound.

[@CaveWay]

Only one way to find out 😄

[@eric.jonsson6315]

So jomox is the best drum machine? Did u like it the jam for live or it is a bit complicated?

[@CaveWay]

Eric .Jonsson it’s an awesome drum machine. Its great live as a sound source with a separate sequencer. Not having knob/function (or close to it) makes live performance not ideal. As you have to focus on one instrument at a time.

[@drgoodusername]

This thumps... thanks.

[@CaveWay]

༺ a good username ༻ 🤙

[@demash9465]

I did it also ;-)

[@terryberner]

Hi any chance of some help with the alpha bass I’ve press the init memory button and lost all the kits All I have is init kit no sounds or patterns Thanks terry

[@CaveWay]

terryberner hi there check out this link. I haven’t tried it so I’m not certain it works but if you are feeling adventurous may be worth a try - www.manualslib.com/manual/1334857/Jomox-Alpha-Base.html?page=81

[@terryberner]

Cave Way all sorted thanks love your work 👍

[@CaveWay]

terryberner sick 🤙

[@Utilityplastics]

Sick 😷

[@marcusfreeweb]

Nice. But timing for delay is off.

[@_EightySix]

LMMFAO. Something about an internet commenter saying the "delay is off", really gets me.

[@marcusfreeweb]

EightySix I wrote "the timing for delay is off". It's not tuned to the beat of the song in any defined way, and this is always spoiling the fun for me. Like a guitar out of tune. Some people don't mind, but I never get it. I mean, if you want to do noise or experimental, ok, I can enjoy some good chaos too.

[@CaveWay]

marcusfreeweb I hear you and it’s all good. The delay rhythm is for percussion nerds and programmed like a Jhaptal tala. In short it’s an asymmetrical rhythm but if you listen/play long enough it’s lined up on the 1 after the cycle. Silly things I do to entertain myself. If you listen to some tabla players they’ll illustrate much better than my programming can 😃

[@marcusfreeweb]

Cave Way Ok, cool if you can enjoy it.

[@NickHchaos]

@@CaveWay Do you play tablas? I love classical Indian music, went to many many concerts when I lived back in the SF Bay Area. Funny, I also think about how they use rhythm..as did John Mclaughlin.
