All user reviews of 3/5 for the Korg ElecTribe EMX1

The connectors for audio: three output jack headphone an L R, no entry ...
No buzzing, noise or ground sound, the sound is pretty clean.
The connectors are MIDI in, out, thru.

A pattern effect on or not on each hand!
rev, fig, phaser, ring mod, pitch shifter, comp, distortion, deci, resonator, filster delay mode, as well as a delay per unit.

The machine is pretty oriental drum n bass, nu nu scool break, hip hop, garage, and of course "hardtek tribe" which we recognize immediately the grain of those old vinyl kind fky, corp capsule etc ...
A drum machine that are grain!

There a free utility to facilitate ldition pattern.

A squenceur 4 measures (64 steps) to enable focus on each hand, roll mode x2, glisendo, swing.
As well as options for dcaler, copy, change the units ..

USE

Is Gnrale setup simple?
Very easy, electribe or fisher price ?? No it is very intuitive, a 5 year old child would use it.

The manual is complete, everything is until proven otherwise!

All the usual functions are in front of you: o



SONORITS

The sounds they agree your style of music?
That this particular grain rather old scool in terms of electronic music that I appreciates.
But the raw sound does not break bricks.
Once in a pass and related software as it should be I think we can draw very good result.
The bass when crushed have something terrifying, some kind neurofunk,
and after a growth resampling I think there will soon make way HEAVY!

Hand against the effects are "limited range" but they have their cots like old school.

What sonorits you prfrez, you dtestez? ...dropoff Window
Dfire be hard grind, as I said I love the bass, sub are terrible and short synth I would say the drums (PCM or bundled) are seen again and again, like int ca ressera sure


NOTICE GLOBAL

I've had two weeks, but it's been a while I know this bekane ...

I had the es1x, em1x, er, 2 ea i-pad ...

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
I love his sonorits oriented drum and bass, nu skool, garage, and this heat I find really diffrent em1x his successor.

This machine is no longer manufactured since 2002 and stagnated argus 130, 150.
I think in light of "its rarity.
Maybe one of these machines will become collector's my personal favorites ca purchase decision on this because I do not really utility at least for now ......
I've also taken by nostalgia and because I love these electribe that are a breeze tamper ...
Besides I care for my kids

wav bank 207 non-replaceable 9 + 5 track synth track all powered by two ValveForce tube system, which gives a very nice and even heat that makes it strength.

UTILIZATION

Intuitive enough to start, the manual allows to use all the functions. The functions are easy to use. Some little miss still between what is said in the manual translated into French and reality, for example, the "shift" key + selecting a pattern plays the motive, open live, if you want to select without the play must have a bit of a quick hand. The MIDI implementation is almost complete, to my recollection, there is a code that I have not found NPRN.

SOUNDS

It is an instrument oriented electronic music, it says "Music Production Station".

For the Dub step, Korg offers a new file upload in UK_bass machine easily downloadable from their website. This reveals a lot of sound of this machine that does not deserve to end up in the cupboard.

One downside, the synth is monophonic damage.

Above, on the other hand, I love everything that comes out, it is good when the lights are properly calibrated. ^ ^

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2/3 years without actually tried other model. I like the price, accessible and with experience, I do it again this choice. In addition a program like live for driving with a good sound card, a system of complete and accurate monitoring, production may take another dimension, but that it is still my opinion.

2 x 2 outputs (one pair avk effects without the other effects)
Full Midi
Many editable sounds (synth wavetable ...)
Sequencer stepper or live TB
Memory very good option to save to SD card

UTILIZATION

Easy to use for anyone who knows this type of machine ... A little more difficult for beginners but learning is done easily using the manual and videos on youtube.

SOUNDS

I think the focus is obviously in music electro / hip hop etc ...
Sounds that are meant to "realists" are wrong ... the machine is not made for that!
Only two assignable effects but not bad c
The sounds can be very powerful, well twisted!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 2/3 years bought used
The sounds are very good and I especially like the ability to handle live as a TB / Roland TR
Routing possibilities are very interesting output
I had before the first A blue and black the EM allowed me to give me a hand.
I got 3 years ago for 300 € used which was a very good price at the time!
Note, however, a small problem is making taint this good balance: in fact tends to blow a fuse and stops the machine. Once repaired (thank you Artisan Sound in Marseille!) And fortified ... No problem! I lower my rating because of this!

RAS

UTILIZATION

The use takes a little time to be understood and possibility of creation level is a bit of a gas plant in May when we understand the concept rolls alone.

SOUNDS

Then, the drama!!

Frankly hyper flat, I truly believe that for this price range, all add a few hundred euro and buy analog.

OVERALL OPINION

It's a good machine at the possibility of creation and this is really interresting.
Very good machine to understand the operation of a sequencer.
Big B flat at the level of sound that really faible.Sincerement I do anymore is because of the cela.Mme trying to pass in a table or an analog space echo or anything, I never managed to get his drinking and goes into the mix.

It combines the main parameters of a virtual analogue with a wide range of waveforms.
The effects are nice.
Plus the small sequencer that close over a drum machine.

UTILIZATION

Archis simple, a real toy.

SOUNDS

Audible large enough capacity in a neat style electro hardcore sticking cardique crisis has your grandmother.
The problem of polyphony in the event of large bass fortunately two stereo outputs.

OVERALL OPINION

Well it is, but just let me go after a year and a half .... not very helpful, I took care, this is the result, even if it is repairable, what I hope, it is fragile in the end .... overall opinion, if it's for a coward after a year is not worth it, especially if you lose your job ... thank you korg ...

Update: a little failure occur at any time and for no apparent reason (source Gaffarel, korg France), the fuse blows and do not be changed by a professional .... strange .... I put five in global opinion because of that spot ...

The connection MIDI and a lot to run a mao I use it with ableton in tt as controller. Galre has set up a little anyway ...
I also try to pluguer AC on with the oddly red and it is much less obviously the clockage is simple but care has to cancel the cranberry tt twelve o'clock if the master runs the slave just sucks

sounds are a little low tt rich sound revolves around the same kind I think, do not created the sound of listening which is not typical of trance 90 years. The synth has a nasty way comparable resolution with other synths despite current lamps ca remains terrible distortion in the filter "cut off resonance" is an acid its really sucks. the ociliators are not bad ..

the effects are quite good particularly the delay. they stretch really well

The sequencer is simplisime

UTILIZATION

At the time of tt c but not bad by using it a little more aware that there is a point quil very very boring knob to keep their memories so that a synth sound to another can not modify it under pain of losing what it severely limits the use to live rich in its tracks
the drum machine is pretty good and easy to use. per kick against the same round are not working there is a small clip tj a kick start in c Genant minimal.
navigation and very simple to accompany the manual

SOUNDS

I think this machine is made for live hardteck. the sound quality is poor then a style ki sending or the error of his passes more or less unnoticed
For the electro sounds you have to forget tt takes us right to the picks 90!
techno is not expected to have such an underground sound: heavy and round
jai is a trip-hop track and it is in the middle that I found most.
the effect is good for me the highlight of the machine even if there are very limited on a track 3 ... jaime much the bass line too ... but do not parlont acid shame ...

OVERALL OPINION

I lai buy 250 euro c ke ca just what is! tt live in other than hard teak seems to me impossible or even in out of the current song marketable when I use it for my personal delire koi dla hack or during my MIDI controller lives miserable ... c

c to start a lot or if you love the genre they ibiza 95 simple and fun for you you will learn the effect of filter diffrent Submitted. and use a drum machine ..

I Move to the machines for a beginner who just wants s'ammuser with sound ...

Midi IN / OUT / THRU 4 audio outputs and an audio input (which can be modulated by a synthetic track) AC can be useful but I do not use.

He has an effects section?
Yes Compressor, Reverb, Delay etc.

And two lamps that produce more wind than anything else, AC saturates quickly and not really more heat.

How many sounds, styles available? Are they edited? Through a utility Mac / PC?
No utility.
About 200 drum sounds and some editable sounds of piano, violins really horrible if everything must be created and am even when you're used to an analog modeling synth has as become nordwaves AC stressing of sound created with 4 times less potentiometers.

UTILIZATION

* The general configuration is simple?
Very simple, I just needed to open the manual once to find out how to set up synth parts.

* The usual functions are they easily accessible?
Yes.
* The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
For that I can read yes.

SOUNDS

* The sounds they are suitable to your style of music?
For the industrial electro synths lack of fishing but the drum sounds are good if they are modified and that one can add a can of effect.

* Are they realistic?
Absolutely not and it makes sense for a product for electronic music. Some of the batteries are more or less realistic but it will never be worth a real battery.

* Effects are they effective and appropriate?
Delay and reverb = Exelente. Compressor, Phaser and others = Means.

* What are the sounds you prefer, you hate? ...
I hate synth sounds, I prefer to control external synths with the sequencer except for some low interest.

OVERALL OPINION

* For how long have you been using it?

6 months.

* What thing do you like most/least about it?

I love the drum sounds I hate synths is very far from the analog or virtual analog.

* Did you try many other models before getting this one?
None in hardware.

* What is your opinion about the value for the price?
I got it for 230 euros occasion I think it is very good.

* Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...

I think not.

Next time I would take more of a synthesizer that offers created rhythms (like the Korg Radias example).
