Jomox JaZBase03

Hi, I wanted to share another preset I made, this time for the Jomox JaZBase03.
This builds on top of user alex’s AirBase99 preset, so thank you alex for that.

In addition to some interface adjustments, this adds two important functions.
The first is the ability to change and reverse the Hi-Hat and percussion samples (not documented in the manual!), and the second is the ability to tune all of the drums chromatically. I found a chart on the modwiggler site where somebody had mapped out the Tune parameter value required to play notes at all of the regular semitone intervals, so this is included as a list in addition to the regular tune parameter fader.

This should also work for an Airbase99 if it has the final firmware installed, so if anybody has one of those units and would like a version with the proper Airbase sample names just LMK, should be an easy change.

Also I’m experimenting with different interface design choices in the Electra editor, so if anybody has feedback or tips there that’s cool.

Looks quite nice.
Just some tips:

  1. Notes representation can also be done with a formatter function, for example:
local notes = {"C  %d","C# %d","D  %d","D# %d","E  %d","F  %d","F# %d","G  %d","G# %d","A  %d","A# %d","B  %d"}

function displayNotes (valueObject, value)
  return (string.format(notes[math.fmod(value-1, 12)+1], (value// 12)-2)) end
end

The +1 and -2 serve to define start note and octave.

  1. The waveforms for LFO1 and LFO2 , you could draw them. Much easier to ‘read’.

  2. A bit more work to nicely set it up: you could use the simplified ADR envelope (with a fixed D value of 127) , to graphically show decay and attack values.

  3. I notice all your faders have 0 as start value. Aren’t there any faders on the Jomox with a range from for instance -64 to +63 ? Tune perhaps? That’s very simple to set up.
