All user reviews of 4/5 for the Korg ElecTribe Er-1

Two Out LR, a Phones, both of which In routed for processing RingMod.
Midi out in a small central delay.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, buttons are shortcuts thoughts.
Manual clear but not essential to master the roughly the beast.

SOUNDS

Buy at the time for the tech it finished its run beatbox for m accompany the guitar

Good sounds are more likely to everything related to electro but also make it a very vintage drum machine (CR68, etc ...) for cheap, reliable & more manageable.

The PCM (Hclap, HiHat, Crash) have no interest.
The other 4 parts (modular, programmable) allows the modeling of sound synthesis kind of basic but effective way (this is not a modulation matrix either ...).

OVERALL OPINION

Most: to carve a good kick without taking analog output of a synth, easy to use, very stable.
Least: no battery operation.

Audio connectors: a pair of stereo output jack and jack into two.
connectivity noon: in, out, thru
software but not completely controllable by midi with any sequencer.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use manual clear and understandable.
All functions are easily accessible.

SOUNDS

The sounds are very typical electro proposed is suited me at the time (I was doing hardtek tribe). Effects are quite correct in the set but are limited by the number.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for 4 years this was my first machine is ideal for beginners but the sounds are still very electro typed but it is very intuitive manual is clear and not very long (it's not a BAR in 1000 euros!). I've kept because I'm a sentimental materialistic but I'm using it rained because it is a bit limited in terms of acoustic kits.

manufacturing quality, knobs, jacks and sockets correct power supply. sequencer and sound module very good
the input output jacks are 6.35 and not in CAR as I've read on a previous post

UTILIZATION

very simple to use, no need for manual

SOUNDS

modeling of analog synthesis. rather successful, just missing a setting on the slope of envelopes but otherwise the results for the kicks and toms are good tes. least for small snares, where the lack of modulation parameters arises. otherwise listed cymbals (crash and hat), there are 909 samples.

OVERALL OPINION

I own this bar since its release, I used it mainly live where it is very effective, its step sequencer is as simple as possible and not include 16 X 1 to 4 measurements. this is a good buy given the current odds of around € 100.
for the studio, I prefer a good analog synth plugin type ES2 and Massive, but for a live set based on the hardware it's a great bar.

See technical data.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple? Pretty simple, one button for each function in the synth, I did not really used the sequencer on the other hand.

Common functions are they easily accessible? Everything is in front, so yes.

The manual is clear and sufficient? Open just for MIDI implementation, it was nickel.

SOUNDS

The sounds they are suitable to your style of music? Absolutely perfect for electronic music too buggers.

Are they realistic? No.

The effects are they effective and responsive? A little thin level effects, it can go live, but this component is very light, but it is not the purpose of the machine.

The expression is good? (Reaction to velocity, aftertouch to)? N / A

What are the sounds you prefer, you hate? Everything is in the creation, if it is bad is that crashed in point. That said, the sounds are very light, do not count out a kick or a snare with 909 of it is in the range 808 cushy with the ER1. But if you get into the experiment, there are ways to have fun.

OVERALL OPINION

How long you use it? I got it a few months, I went to his owner, shame, I liked him.

What is so special that you love the most, least?

+
The analog side, turn the knobs, what all this.
The implementation noon, with a PC, it is placed in a corner and down practically, it does. There dashboards and midi out FLStudio for example.

-
The next fairly "light" that emanates from the machine, whether at the level of sounds, effects, or use, one would expect a more beefy for an analog, but it's still very nice anyway.
The ergonomics a bit confusing for knobs, called a patch, you turn a knob and the sound is completely messed up at once because the knob is turned the wrong way (I know if I'm making myself clear. ..), would have had a knob on the diode as BCR-2000. But we made it fast enough.

I guess dtails prciss dj t have ...
This is modlisation analog, so the numrique.
Squenceur Electribe (TR).

UTILIZATION

A helping hand to dpart for those who do not know the basics of synthse and to tame the full function (a yen is no non-thousands more ...).

The ease of use of the machine is its strong point!
The squenceur is basic but high-speed take over the rglages once you are used to rev quickly, automations are in the crowd ... Everything is small but extremely simple and accessible.

SOUNDS

Ct sound is that the opinions differ ...
The success of electribe we had to lay kilomtre hear techno / hard techno-cool and so little original (many people using the same patterns that came with the machine ...).

For those who want to use it bote main rhythm is not the it is the best but can go. The kicks may be suitable trs, at the infrabass pteux. The snare blah blah, you must spend time to get potatoes. The worst are the hi-hats and clap in pcm still too similar, samples require ...
When you take the time to address the bte, one can draw full of sounds like "space vehicles" effects, siRNA, blips, etc. inspired synthse analog modules, but "backups" and "automationables". And it's super good, I know of no other machine as rich in possibilities that price, it's a great toy! The automation can CRER of Młoda Manir random image of trs that sound good.

The delay (only effect only on the master, so any sounds), the same as any of THE FIRST SERIES electribe is trs INTERESTED. With a short time trs can "tweak" the sound (by making it more rough but hey ...) and specially the bass, or make really nice harmonics. With longer times can be quite thin CRER grooves (thereby bearing some of the gaps squenceur).

The two audio inputs offer squencables full of possibilities as well as a trs saturates quickly.

Black spot, but for the price we agree: no output spares! Too bad ... We can get away down the right and left for two mono outputs, but then more delay, which is Stereo.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 8 years, c'tait Premire bote my rhythm and I had the opportunity to test for quite other things.
Clearly, to the rhythm, it's not the IDAL, with Charley in pcm that trs tired quickly and snare not trspchues, and especially especially not out of spares to treat each sound indpendamment. For a better look elsewhere, a bit more expensive (the MFB ct I would be tempted to say, for lovers of analogue ...).
As for effects, sound electronic modules in all directions, mlodiques loops, etc., the trs is good, but fewer opportunities sound less cold and str OTYPE so popular that the CHRE Machindedrum and much more.

A great instrument to take its quality, fast pick up and super cheap!

Rhythm box synthse formulation analog monophonic, one midi channel, keyboard cahoutchuc-boing one octave, no Veloci no aftertouch. Midi in / out / thru, stereo output jack 6.35, 6.35 jack stereo line input.

No extensions of my knowledge, an editor for Mac / PC can be, I do not know ...

UTILIZATION

The machine is as simple as using a television's
paramtres available for the few sounds synthse are not a formidable technics even for a total nophyte (tune, release, waveform ...) effects (delay, flanger , ring modulation) trs are (too) simple to use.
Treatment (limited effects) of external signals fun.

You can throw the manual, and then the one-page résumé is so simple.

SOUNDS

Now, the extreme simplicity of Mahine inevitably leads to an extreme limitation of the possibilities.
Where to start?

The delay for example! Intrets how to have a delay that applies immediately all sounds? It was quick not to use it because it always returns a serve in the same Manir: either continuously and there is not thirty six possible rglages or fawn dub and each shot is knob any rhythm that starts in Jamaica.

Custom settings for synthse: WHY THERE IS NOT SETTING THE ATTACK?! HEIN?
What Intrets to have low and feet which can not rgler the attack?! no, all of sudden percussive clicks early in the race and it's quickly drunk. Unable to round coffee or soft, has always starts with a hammer.

Ring modulation Relva really gadget.

The cymbal and clap sample plant that are always same, makes a relatively psychopath after a while ...

Apart from these few points, not too virulent criticism ...

We should not take away his qualities though: the sound is excellent bill in its style, and sometimes even impressive dynamism and prsence.

OVERALL OPINION

By using the résumé for a year, I think she has the inconvnients its benefits.
it is a very easy machine to ACCS, flexible working, which has all of the same a damn good sound.
the inconvnient is that the possibilities are frankly limits, and the sound is ultimately trs "typquot, and township records restricted stamps. But hey, it n has not the prtention rvolutionner of music, and is an affordable price trs used (between 150 and 300 euros general)

An excellent machine to get your feet so much more INTERESTED once with another couple electribe (S for example) and a small multi-effect.

Connectict twelve o'clock fiableentre normal sync output jack / jack
sound wave at infinity, because inf foot dformable has overpowered
the more so because the parson change of the wave (LFO), pitch, decay, pan and delay overall effect depth / time
squenage the simplest one inconvnient pa Tone use of pitch and lack of precision gift

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration this machine is Designed as a toy but its sounds are shattering

SOUNDS

Sound that suits the style hard tech, low precision Avitus we toured the sound begins to be heard too
the effect its efficient and comfortable but not prcis
bellle but the bass sound heard on the trs techno scne need a btr deuxime
the snare is not enough instruments too electroooo

OVERALL OPINION

I had this box since gtr + 2 years and j'hsite mm was used as dbarass me by all the world lacks originality

CHARACTERISTICS limits, others have numres dj, pa c ke the trouble I submit a film.

UTILIZATION

Use: too easy. This is my first machine, and within a month of use, GoJ retracted one hour of live bass hardtek.
Excellent machine to learn about the results and have faster, there's nothing to understand, just pottards turn.

SOUNDS

Box rhythm coming out of the good bass for the breakbeat / breakcore / d & b / hardtek.
Ultra easy to get plaiz with good low effective, just, it quickly turns round: in a month, g seem to have made the rounds of the machine ke sounds can come out.

OVERALL OPINION

Excellent quality price (new 290th).
Good machine for beginners and understand the trick.
I, I keep it because the live c of the killing, although intuitive and practical controls are so few that you deceive you little button pa, m must kan MEM 1 second box cot rate .

-Headphone.

For the price (3800 Fr nine in 2000) I put 6, I have an AIM envelloppe and the possibility to record movements of knobs say 3 per game! (I'm a little hard on it).

UTILIZATION

Yes it is simple, idalie machine to get your feet wet, 1st c'tait my machine!
Y 'not too many keystrokes, and most functions are obvious quickly!
The manual is not too bad with some examples of sounds and leaves srigraphies to record his patches!

SOUNDS

I like the sounds, but it's a box electro: she sounds weird. Blip, click, buzz, zbroing, shuiiiifff is speaking has not it lol, but snares, bells and so on.
Y 'means get thee sounds like weird voices, the basslines, the distos with the audio in but also a matress of kick for me (by passing through an analog filter able hard!).
The ability to express with the audio in two parts and four synths it's all good too!

OVERALL OPINION

I have been ending for five years, and I get tired of it, since I had other machines (cf.mon profile) but none can replace (from a synth or VA may be), it's personality!

The best: the delay, the simplicity.
the least: the knobs, no envelloppes, a single MIDI channel.

I paid quite expensive I think 5 years ago, the manufacturing quality is not great, I say a for knobs and jog, if not the pads of squenceur are enjoyable and r lay always!
Considering the price it currently rated Rasht I also dry!

Outputs and audio inputs and MIDI.

Comprehensive effects section.

Percussion sounds heavily edited

Very simple and effective to use

UTILIZATION

The manual is clear and functions are easy to master.

SOUNDS

I wanted m'innitier in hardware with a BAR inexpensive. I thought of the ER-1 because it provides good sound editing software without a bunch of users and it's fantastic.

It allows me to create good patterns and store them in the DAW. I use it for compound house, techno, electro.

OVERALL OPINION

Since four months.

BAR is my first and I am very satisfied.

It m'appport flexibility to make rhythms that I did not succeed with the software.

A very good value for money. Currently you can find them for about 130 €

I am completely satisfied, but I might be able to buy a superior model ... but also the ER-1 occupies less space in my little studio and it does a good job.
