Jomox Airbase99

soundonsound.com

The Jomox Airbase 99 impresses with its dynamic and authentic retro sound, offering nine-note polyphony and 10 individual outputs. Its sturdy build and extensive MIDI control make it a solid choice for professional setups. However, programming without a computer is cumbersome, and its sample variety is limited. While it lacks the hands-on sequencing of the Xbase 09, it compensates with increased memory and additional features. Competing with more affordable and feature-rich alternatives, its appeal might be niche, best suited for those seeking classic TR808/TR909 sounds. Potential buyers should "try before you buy."
