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

- Pair Stereo main jack, auxiliary jack also a pair of which the effects are not willing (or lamps), an audio IN to torture all sound sources to choose from, triplet noon.
- In the 250 sounds perceived, 5 synth parts, but not very editable well made I think.
- Effects section provided enough chorus, flange, distortion, EQ, comp, etc.
- Sequencer with the TR, 16 steps, max 8 bars per pattern.

UTILIZATION

- Simplicity is the word, it's a electribe, if you have already received a machine, getting started immediately, if the first machine, it goes fast too.
- Almost everything is accessible knob, little menu, but it is accessible.
- Manuel clear, nothing to say.

Patterns longer, more automation possible (24 per pattern, against a per track on the old electribe). Good evolution of the series electribe.

SOUNDS

- Sounds are typed techno / electro in general, it's good, that's why I bought it.
- Some sounds are still quite realistic, especially in the percussion, and are therefore suitable for the jungle / dnb, see hip / hop.
- The synths sound great for a groovebox.

Lamps provide a small gain and saturation friendly if they are not pushed too hard, until the nasal distortion if pushed to block.

OVERALL OPINION

- I used it a month and I sold it for lack of money for a multi-effects.
- I like the grip immediately, I liked a little more control over the synth.
- Before buying, I had the MC 303 and 505, the Korg ER1. I always Elektron SPS1.
- I paid new abroad cheaper than its rating on occasion so blameless in this regard.
- If I had space and need a BAR / additional groove is the one where I (re) take to the side "I have fun when I turn it on."

In conclusion, very good machine for those who love the music in the woods.

Good little machine with 4 mono outputs grouped by 2, 1 audio mic / line and headphone output. All complemented by MIDI in / out / thru.

Sounds, much of its ... 207 in the percussion, hit hat, snare and other weird things change the rhythm part of the waveform, length, pitch ...
74 of the instrument for the synth part is changeable in the same way that the rhythm with the cutoff and drive in +.
If it does not take his instrument, is used when the internal synthesizer offering 13 types with each sub type of wave and there is the delusion of ca grind all this, a grinder becomes a sounding board and vice versa ...

The whole can then be sent to the effect section, 16 in all, we can use in three at the same time and channels or use individually, or a single two strings. Modular total!
On top of it because you can save for Chauque movement button, both effects, the modulation, filtering and common synth ... short, you can do everything in Exeter the cutoff does not work on the rhythm part.

When the sequencer to him, play 9 tracks and 5 percussion synthesizer on up to 8 x 16 steps.

UTILIZATION

Config relatively simple, but at first glance, it seems very complex, like all dedicated machines elsewhere, but after a day or two earlier, the magic comes out almost by itself.

I flew over the manual, you learn more testing is not very good, however, he explains the functions and remains a good reference when you dry on something.

SOUNDS

The machine is universal, because of its internal synth, it can produce an infinite number of sound, and although at first it seems to be made for techno and electro sounds with very electronic, moving some buttons, use the instruments it proposes ... and you will see that even be possible with jazz and carefree.
The effects in many complements universality of the machine there that need.

The only thing you can not do with it is save your replay and with the sequencer which is the feature of the Korg SX ... But you can always come by your sound input and pass them in the filter, it will Save elsewhere.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a great machine with many possibilities, the lamp provides a very nice color to the sound, ease of use is appropriate and design more than succeeds.

Coupled with an SX noon, you become the pro live, I often set in a DJ, using the machine instead of putting a disc, the delirium and no one complains .

There are still many things to say, the accents, the arpegiator and other great features
but we finiorait not so ...

Simply excellent!

See the website of KORG

UTILIZATION

This is my first machine, it is very easy to learn and the manual is pretty clear
I've had three days already and I hit the big delusions
Obviously I do not control everything but c'es more practical than a computer to create music.

SOUNDS

The sounds provided are generally good, sound style guitar, trumpet, etc ... are nazes is a machine for making electro, not the classic!
the percussion is operational and can be modulated synths with effects and oscillators can be achieved by mastering the original sounds settings.

OVERALL OPINION

I do not regret my purchase, the price / quality ratio (650 € to 750 € depending on the stores) is excellent, can be produced in all styles of music (tek, house, trance, drum & bass, hip hop etc ...)
I begin, this is my first machine and really easy to use for it is designed for live
I think soon acquire a sampler to make big sound but I have enough fun with my emx-1 by then.

See the test is very comprehensive.

UTILIZATION

I knew that the Electribe EM1, and I must say that I was right to resell my mc303 to acquire Elecribe Mx ... Very easy to use, I consult the manual (downloaded in French on the forum korg) rarely, extremely intuitive it is a small toy. This was also my main inquitude when purchasing, I was afraid to buy a machine to do anything that would have been the final average to see a machine on all the bad points. After two less use, I do not really regret my purchase. The manual is comprehensive easy to use on almost all points. I use it in live and it is easily made using the ARPEGIO, and on the fly, different melodies. I couple with a tr707 whose clock is controlled by the Mx and the audio is received by the audio in and packed with the generator of internal effect .... COMPRESSOR + LAMPS = Your best friend ... I use lamps also home to warm the sound of old machines.

MOST over the electribe Em1 = ​​the ability to delete a complete pattern .. (More need to clear hand by hand!)

7 months later ...
I add one thing ... The ARPEGGIO is monstrous! I use the arpeggio all the time ... an incredible tool! it's really huge, easy to compose anything ...

SOUNDS

About the sounds they are simple, I would say even known to the adept groovebox but so effective ... Sounds the Lynn, TR808, TR909, etc. .... with lamps that changes everything!
The sounds of synths (cfm) are HOnet but not really usable as is (piano, guitars ...) they agree in coaching but no more! Agree to live it ...
The wave generators (chord, dualsynth, etc ...) are really interesting, very minimum is perfect for electro, hip-hop, etc ... What we can do to vitalic or puff diddy!
Several shortcomings:
Outputs 3 and 4 do not pass through the lights ...
The delays, compressor, etc. ... not really edited, but effective live on a component c limit, the words they are of good quality. (The reverb is really bad)
That said ... the sound is really good but lacks a bit of fishing on the lower ...

OVERALL OPINION

Two months of use is I'm very happy!
In time I use it for rhythm and for simple type electro bass.
A big plus point lights!
This machine has character, it has a sound.
One can expensive (840Euros) for this toolbox, but it's worth it ...

After seven months of utilistation, I would not change my Electribe Mx for the world ...

Two years again later ... I separated because it is only useful for live and compose music to hard. This is certainly a good notepad, to do things quickly and have some fun. I'll sell it, will I regret this because it is the arpeggio! it's really nice ...

What connections (audio, MIDI ...)?

The beast has 4 mono outputs + 1 headphone output and a MIDI IN / OUT / THRU

How many sounds and styles available? Are ditables? Through a utility Mac / PC?

9 from the drum sounds available in 207 and 5 to 76 diposent synth sounds (in leqel there are also drums) and 15 types of synthesis (each of which contains several waveforms)
Of course every type of synthse are editable and all the traditional parameters

Clearly There's enough fun for a long time

He has an effects section?

It available from 3 to 16 effective dispatch indeed what evut say it's like having three multi externality that you can daisy-chain as you voulbr />
What are the characters of squenceur?

I do not use this functionalist

UTILIZATION

The usual functions are they easily accessible?

The advantage of this machine is that most parameters are available and when this pressure is not the case, they are accessible by pressing two buttons simultaneously

The manual is clear and sufficient?

The manual is clear and simple trs fFor use classic soon as you lean toward the south is something else (as with all the hardware for that matter) but for a AudioFanzine is the - )

SOUNDS

The sounds they agree your style of music?

The sounds are perfect for any type of electronic music, for my part it Tek / Hardstyle / Jumpstyle is it really gnial with this machine

Are ralistes?

This is not the goal is a machine electro East

The effects are they effective and responsive?

The effect is not trs effective, but this machine a couple other multi effect is much more professional

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?

It's been 1ans1 / 2 I use

What is the particular feature you like best and least?

I love:

- The touch pad is way pleasant trs
- Accessibility assistive technology software for the hand diffrent (IDAL to live)
- Arpgiateur for the drums

I hate:

- The fact that the controller can not be the mute / solo an external controller (well I have not Russian)
- Knob which take into account the motion before it is back to the initial setting (can you imagine you put your building on a pitch una hand then you change to another portion on which the pitch and 0, you move the knob, the PITC will be thoroughly instead of waiting for the knob back Azro)

It's not where you learn something more for features ..

UTILIZATION

This is an Electribe!

It's simple to use, the first machine is perhaps a little warm: it is better to try an em-1 at the beginning.

controls really intuitive, the menu is simple. The manual is pretty damn good, but (personally) is not so bad to do without and use it just for a specific problem. If not for the problems: the forum management. There are a lot of guys very well calibrated ... that can help novices (and even more used) scratch time or to understand some things.

SOUNDS

I never used anything qe the Electribe but it's true that the sound of the emx-1 is good (bright lights). I went from the em-1 to the emx-1 for her and I'm happy for her ... and everything else!

Compared to its sister ptites, multi effect is great (once you understand how to walk ç) except a little echo or wha EN + was no denial ....

The modulator is nice

OVERALL OPINION

Super value! is not reversible below 600 € in nine I do not think there is as well!

C aesthetically beautiful

Fun fast enough, and before exhausting the resources ..
Personally, staying 3 days / week over 2 years pdt I realized these things .. even after 2 years!

buy it! There's No Other great stead for musical pleasure.

T already said everything I think, and for my part in terms of price I can not complain, the sequencer does not bother me but as I have nothing to compare ... the effect is section qd well supplied and we know the master can be bcp bcp bcp thing, by twelve o'clock I was against management possible brake problem and I have often in my project as a result I quickly disgusts me when I decided to conduct a piece to the end (but it is I who am not good in my head) my main Bonnheure are the long hours of improv
edit: for MIDI it was me as what the problem, the machine can not do everything in the place of man and I hop up the note 9

UTILIZATION

There is nothing easier to start a draft piece main functions are more accessible, I put 9 for ergonomics because I'm a bit lazy in the soul all the same and I ca Gave a little when I have repetition of notes in the money synthle butter butter and the dairy as they say ...

SOUNDS

Not really defined style for me but I like the sounds well, in terms of effects I use mainly the compressor bpm delay and a decimator excess, unwanted artifacts I noticed when you put a high pass filter before the compressor and that's a shame but I ask can be a bit too has the machine, question realism should not be required nor is the sound all the same typical and easily recognizable to a regular one makes quick tour

Update: It's been three good years that I have the bug I begin to tire of her soon emx I think taking a Machinedrum can be passed to another level

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost two years and with hindsight I can say that I have a blast before I buy it for a long time zieuter previous models and I am more than convinced of not having lost in the exchange, which I like most is the incredible feeling that one can have with this machine, what it lacks are the endless knob to avoid jumps in value during a live (but the price would not t the same), with a MIDI control surface becomes a true beast of a live performance but beware of the programming NRPN ...

people put the maximum ds quickly it's great for me, but 8 is a very good note for this machine, 10 is reserved for perfection ...

edit: after two years of loyal service I still discover something, I'm so glad I go up the overall score was 9

See the website of Korg

UTILIZATION

Super same way too simple, too easy, anyone can set beautiful patterns without knowing music theory and play a real instrument, mega COOL

SOUNDS

The best sound of the stations groovebox current top of the moment!

200 patterns in my sauce that I am he left 3 years ago

OVERALL OPINION

I bought a 700 euros its release and sold a year later because I was playing around with more than really writing songs, mainly because I like the rhythms that come out of the 4 / 4 and EM-X can not to jazz, for example is far too square, that is why I write on MC-909 has really good sound for less time, but which has a super against sequencer, perfect for me that was the mixture of these two machines in one
Maybe Korg Electribe could do with a sequencer such as the oasis? and a larger screen, and finally I always want more is already not so bad and then it sounds pro, to make house, electro, techno, electronic music all connected in general is really the top.

(It was now two years since I sold it and I miss me I think I'm going r'acheter in the hand)

It is very comprehensive, toured the site of KORG

UTILIZATION

We can not get any easier in handling. It's very intuitive (it's a KORG not forget) and the manual is useful only for one or two technical things.
For people who have (or have owned) a Electribe, changes from previous will be more glaring. A lot of little things that make life easier. Personally, I love being able to record while playing a patern whereas before we had to stop. (No more lost pieces in full live)

SOUNDS

A net improvement in the side of KORG and it's very significant.
The sound is much less dry than before. For those who want more, there are two lights that send too much but USE WITH CAUTION! Indicators SPEED saw very red but it works well in moderation.

OVERALL OPINION

I had an EM-1 and the transition to the EMX-1 was like a rebirth. The design aspect is superb, the handling excellent, the sound less metallic KORG wanted to make very hard with this new generation and manages to put the bar very high.
Frankly confirmed for beginners, this machine you like (to try to adopt it).
A very good investment.

Cooked eggs in 1min27!

UTILIZATION

The grip is trs RAPD and intuitive.
The insersion sound in parts drums and mute / unmute are a dconcertante simplicity. For those habitus "filling the boxes of time" (as in fruity), they will gure over 10 min lay a good pace.
Regarding the modulation of sound, a plot thickens. It will take time to prvoir what effect such adjustment on the sound. It has often been good surprises.
The synths are complete and trs varis the extreme but it is the same delirium: you turn the knobs and audio flies, CLAT, swells, etc ... It is quite intuitive in the world.
But it's like for everything must be done by hand. The possibility of his is nearly infinite.

SOUNDS

With emx, to be clear, everything is in it! For some drums (9 total), have a 207 sounds that give a good base, all modular (pitch, eg time, ripple ....) with possibility to set effects (for drum and synth (attention, by three patterns). (For my part, these sounds are not too pleasant as is, hmmm a few kicks of death. APRS, adpend tastes). In any fawn, a sound electro and it is not done to the classic.
The synth (5 parts) have 16 bases on two algorithms Osili. Some of them have changeable presets. In short it out every imaginable sound condition to find them!
If you want to make hardtek, hardcore, DnB, and even house, hip hop, etc., is impeccable. There are fast sounds warm and grainy, acids and windy .... Masi attention to the old sounds that a pout pout can make!

OVERALL OPINION

This is my Premire machine and it seems only a minimal knowledge of the operating principle of these corny, was worth it to start immediately rather than taking a small model, and as said, be shit after 3 months, once the machine known in the fingertips.
But to take it properly by hand (that is, how sound CRER prcis that one has in mind without oscilo test in 3 hours back and forth and across), it is well faloir several months due to several hours a day.

For my style, it is Royal (hardtek hardcore ....), in the most affordable prices when you chose this level groovebox!

An excellent machine that tends to make me an insomniac!

All is said below. The lack of flexibility notament sequencer for drum roll

UTILIZATION

Extremely simple to use, all functions are accessible from the front.
The manual is very clear

SOUNDS

It balance the heavy!
-The synth is great, you can go very far with the oscilloscope is on c there are more precise but for the price ca fait.Les the PCM sounds (76) are not all good, but sometimes they are useful especially for the hip hop.
For part-drum sounds are good but I found that There is no enough settings for grind especially when using (but then I quibble).
-The effects are correct

OVERALL OPINION

The best: the price, the intuitive, lamps, sound, synths, the look, the arpeggiator, complementarity with esx
The least: the sequencer a little rigid, too few settings drums (no filtering), the arpeggiator very fun but not enough of adjustments to my taste, the lack of polyphony, outputs 3 and 4 that do not benificient lamps or the effects
It'll be 6 months that I have the beast, after 5 min the grip was made (I already had the esx) and now I m always with Popcorn. No it is not perfect but for the price well worth the couple coup.Et it perfectly with his sister, the esx.
With esx and a Kaoss pad 3 in the ass I m approaching the perfect config: thank you Korg!

Everything is said in the product.

the available sounds are not many trs if you do not count as part synth that if has a number of DIFFERENT sounds impressive!

UTILIZATION

Config gnrale trs trs simple and accessible even for beginners!

the manual is explicit trs, there is a need to know the indoor

SOUNDS

I make techno, freeteck, or the hardcore drum'n'bass. The sounds are perfect for that I made and customized.

The effects section is pretty good especially the Decimator, distortion or the FLANGER.

The sound is not trsraliste but when the KORG achte we know what to expect
UNISON as some synth or CHORD are really not bad at all.
It is true that some sounds of the game DRUM are not terrible but it's good ngligeable she ratrappe with those synths!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year or so.

Its synth part is really nice and easy to use for squenceur.
I try a lot of machine (ES1, MC-808, RM1X and MC-303) and EMX is really a part, I love it.

Report qualitprix excellent occas 400 to go there with closed eyes!

I referrer this choice without hsitation!

All is said, 207 44.1 16 bit pcm sample drum, percussions, scratch ....
Headphone output jack LR 6.35 and 3 4
3 end by pattern
8 sequencer as
arpgiateur a gold!

UTILIZATION

Super easy to use, very intuitive, perfect for live (with esx for example), although I plan to aqurir a mpc 500 for a polyphonic sampler more efficient and to add a microKORG history of the synthesis (a multi purpose would be welcome too)

I bought his release with an English manual but from the shmas of DIFFERENT types of synthesis it is almost obsolete, especially when we know the principle of electribe.

The edition is so intuitive that it allows improvisation, even with the advantage of synth if you have the "rhythms in the skin" ...

SOUNDS

I made the pumping hardtek, the free party hardcore and jazzy drum and bass.
The kicks are of quality for the most part, snares, cymbal and hihat also. When the perceived possibility of tribal offers them that I did not anticipate the purchase.

The synth offers a rich sonic pallette lctronique when the pcm apart pianos, organs, and low, I have not really figured out how to ring the so-called trumpet etc. ..

The highly efficient multi effects for a machine of this range but I dplore 3 by the number of pattern, it is often too little. Especially as unlike her sister ESX filter is not available for drums, which is a shame because the drive shall have resulted in the Fast Fashion foot hardcore ...

A strong point with the arpgiateur range selector that allows you to make organ solo piano or electronic jazzy impressive.

Missing can be a compressor on the master, but the pair of lamp is already so powerful for the price we easily crowns this gap even place this machine in many live set quip for mastering .

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years. J'apprci lights, sound, usability and arpgiateur.
I dessu by PCM "sound".
This is my second machine, I had a er1 that is no longer live and that I sample with the EMX
Before I was working on pc Reason + Cubase and Reason Er1 + + + Emx Cubase and Cubase.
This now I use a PC proffesionel use or edit my samples, or mix and master my productions. The ratio quality price, it was valid at its output, has to have more autan Maitenes, from the perspective he needs girlfriends for optimum use.
If I Devaya remake that choice I will not hsiter.
