All user reviews of 1/5 for the Korg ElecTribe EMX1

All features are on the Korg website or on the Net.
It has MIDI, however, conventional headphone jack ... what.

The sounds are editable yes.

The sequencer has no groove sequencer Roland, but it does its job, there is frankly worse.

UTILIZATION

Everything is at hand, the use is quite easy, even for a beginner.
The manual is quite well designed, some have more need than others if it is their first Groovebox for example.

The arpeggiator on the other hand is a joke. It's just a sort of "Beat Repeat" and an arpeggiator nothing worthy of the name.

SOUNDS

The drum sounds are really satisfactory for some, some kick sound good.

Synth for its part is more debatable: while there are many possible combinations, but the sound is far from being crazy or unique, it is sometimes a little dirty, and their history of lamps "to give her a more hot sound "made me smile a little, well ... I do not talk about effects, otherwise I will become aggressive.

It was one of my first machine, I kept a few months, because I thought we were quickly made the rounds, I sold it, and it lacks nothing in my set-up.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for three months.
It was my first groovebox.

I agree with some reviews that define the EMX-1 as a machine that makes dance punk dog, as well as in babos sarrouel in gout. Nothing derogatory in it, it also happened to me to go chug to get an idea of ​​what it was, and that several times. I have nothing against these people, some will think I put them in a box, maybe yes, but they either do not hesitate to put people in boxes, and that is normal, it is human. Brief. I digress.

In chug, the couple often EMX-1 and ESX-1 + Korg KP3 with sounds heard thousands of times, a very high BPM is rediscovered, very too often.
Character is not my cam at all, and sound level, I feel that this machine is only good for that, to make the Hardtek / Tribe / Psycore / Hardcore / Goa a little dirty, and we have already heard all these filthy "kick" grimey who "BoingBoing" 160 BPM. Even if I make Techno (qu'Underground Resistance is my witness in = D) I do not do this kind of Techno, and I can not seem decidedly to love this machine and its sounds.

It is not worth much used today, the price is interesting. Neuve against, 400 bullets for it, it is too expensive, and it is simply theft, pigeonnage.

I will not repeat that choice with experience.

This is a machine that has done me laugh, but now, it lacks a bit of personality, and its sounds are very stereotypical, very focused on a certain kind of music, and that's a shame. But do not tell me that composed of tubes, is not messing around either. As the place on the "podium" machines, this is a bit exaggerated. To each his own is true, but still ...

Jibé.

see previous reviews, there is enough ...

UTILIZATION

My 17 year old son has long moved on (thankfully, otherwise I will have disinherited ...)
my 10 year old daughter mastery 99%, the rest after that piano lessons ...
my daughter 20 months explodes with the filter and resonance, I teach him to sync LFO ... must start somewhere ...

SOUNDS

ideal for dancing punk was deaf and brainless dog in a field full of mud with a faulty sound and much distortion (accidental distortion of course, this is just before the sound caught fire ...). PS: Besides it rains ....

OVERALL OPINION

Bought used too long ago, thinking it was a musical instrument, too much remorse for resale, I diverted to educational purposes, this is the only machine that my kids have the right touch.
Question groovebox, I played with the entire range Roland MC (I still have two that I do not play but I expect out, huge dynamic when we can exploit the gains), as well as TB and TR ( I'm old ...) and I am a huge fan of EMU XL7 I have a permanently connected ...
For an introduction to the basics of virtual synthesis to less than 10 years, I think that is a perfect tool EMX1 (my children). much more reliable and durable than the Playskool or VTech.
PS: I read pool of opinions on this gadget playmobil retarded ...
PS bis: there seems to be a bunch of tube were made with, I wish that I were a single quote ...
Ter PS: Changing the lamp is effective, you go from sound to sound shit as shit ... but is it really necessary to spoil good lamps for it?
