and shuffle mode options. Furthermore, 4 additional programmable
midi tracks can trigger external instruments.
In Pattern Mode, the XBASE 999 can control all the sound settings
for each step to obtain melodies and really freaky grooves. So, for
instance, you can “abuse” the kick drum with long decay for creating
a bass line due to it’s extremely flexible sound programming.
On the sample based instruments each step can trigger a different
sample if you want to.
Each sample based instrument contains 31 different samples. With
XBASE 999 it is possible now to reload them into the internal flash
memory by midi sample dump. A PC/MAC tool for a convenient
download can be downloaded at
