All user reviews of 4/5 for the Korg ElecTribe EMX1

It is longer needed to add something here I think ....

UTILIZATION

made three months I have, and I must say that I am happy trs, ds on the first night I had a ball ...
Trs intuitive, easy to take in hand, an ide concrtisation rhythm or sound is quickly trs ....

SOUNDS

The sounds are quite enjoyable, but a little hack mritent however, because it is faster way to fall into the softphone polyphonic ringtone ...
The drums are all friendly and well compltent trs, trs can easily add sound without taking the head, and your exact is often surprising.
The synths are pretty fun, but I think it's still basic trs, trs it suits many electronic sounds big, but do not esprer Wonderland, has never replace a real synth or instrument (ehoh, is a MIDI eh ....)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for three months, and it is clear that it is gniale to live, and as a cornerstone of a small Systm staff, however, it can not be the pice matress ... personal, it serves me for anything and everything: put on a big bass kick sound, CRER a small scratch in order to rate s'entraner and rhythmically, making remixes microphones using a computer, and lectrojazz / drum'n'bass / house with zikos potos ....
TRS is a good product given the price, but the sounds are classic trs cool, there is a big potential and the handling is quick to advise ... teuffeurs all, fans of low and of rhythmic edges, big dub, house, electro ...
I'm happy with this purchase, and I would do without hsiter this choice, but I think within a year or two, I might move up a gear suprieure (a small round at Roland may be. ..)

Already

UTILIZATION

So who bought this beautiful machine is a complete beginner in this field I can say
that the use is relatively simple!
All or almost all the time is available!
Just read everything is marked.

SOUNDS

Its the one proposed by the EMX can suit all types of music ...
Just look to see demonstrations ... there are much funk as the dub of the GNI or trance ...
The c's very clean and sound really good ... with a good sound it vibrates the walls!
The system works very well indeed in spite of three independent effect in pieces or in combination ...
I really like the bass of this machine ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 months
It is still rapidly limited by the number of track will be battery or synth ...
The price can be a deterrent but it is what is the price ...
Choice has done to develop its library of audio and opportunity for beginners who have no synth or drum machine ...

The Korg Electribe EMX-1 is great, it really doesn’t take much time to get to understand. Its ready to go right out of the box. If you do need to use the manual its really straight forward. I had no issues with this at all. It has midi connections which is a must have in any of today’s studios. It also takes a smart media card which is used for a lot of other equipment so nothing special was needed for this one. Its not a very big piece of gear. Very handy and portable, I used it for about a year. I took it several places that I had to be. Its very sturdy and can take a beating.


UTILIZATION

It has 4 output jacks, and audio imput/ MIDI in out and through, right around 20 onboard effects. But as we all know. Not all standard effects are good. So only a few of them are worth using. But there are a lot of sounds that you can use and edit with all of the knobs. Its all pretty much self explanatory.


SOUNDS

Sounds and effects are ok, not too many effects though. But there are a few good ones that you might use over and over.

OVERALL OPINION

This machine is great for someone in Hip Hop or Drum and Bass, it was extremely fun to use when I had it. You can use all the knobs and functions in real time and hear the changes right in front of you. I am glad with my decision to use the Korg Electribe EMX -1 . It really didn’t last long for me though, I needed more effects and more options. But it was definitely a good starting point. It was one of my first pieces of gear and I will never forget how much fun it was to use it. But once you become advanced you will have no more use for the Korg Electribe EMX-1 any more..

UTILIZATION

SOUNDS

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 7 years and I love it.
I advise all beginners to get the hand over.
It's really a machine intuitive and easy to use with Quick.
The effects are really effective and you can really do in all styles!

See more details of the manufacturer and other notices for details.

But we must still say that the outputs 3 / 4 are very useful, and the fact that the tracks are monophonic synth is very <span class="arial-24-gris-b">annoying.</span>

UTILIZATION

Its super easy, I managed to make the same pattern without reading the manual.

A little more dificil is programming step-by-step synths and composition of the song, but it is not dificil after reading the manual.

SOUNDS

Bass Drum: I just found a really good for use without distortion. For hardtek I use a distortion pedal external, and I use a few different bass drum sounds (not simultaneously).

Snare: There is a good drum & bass, otherwise I use the snare of 808, but the problem is that they sound in the treble and with Charley, for example, the sound can become quite rotted quickly.

Charley, cymbals: There are a few interesting sounds, but there's the problem acute. In addition to the pitch of these sounds sounds <span class="arial-24-gris-b">rather like a filter, but filter out all frequencies.</span> One of his KPR77 (shame, it's the Korg).

Tom Simmons will have one very useful, also some electronic sounds. The perceived sounds (including tabla) are not terrible, though utils.

But the highlight is that you can change the sounds with the modulator, then the beast is not so limited, there is a lot more sounds in it.

The synth has only 2 <span class="arial-24-gris-b">parameters and filter bad, we are far from virtual analog. You can also use the modulator, but if you want to make acid or</span> with <span class="arial-24-gris-b">Vangelis,</span> forget. on the other hand synths are nice for making synthetic percussion.

There 's a model that makes synth arrangements, not bad but you have to use more than one track if you want different types of agreements, or you can copy the sound and use some tips to make agreements, but after that not so good if you want to mess with the effects or sound.

I find the lamps <span class="arial-24-gris-b">rather</span> gadget. It is not possible to adjust their sound on some instruments, if you want on the bass drum and snare not, for example, you must remove the snare from the outlets 3 / 4, but you can not use effects . In comparison with the lights at least, the sound output by 3 / 4 a little less distortion in the treble (but still he y 'distortion in the treble). The sound with the lamps is also a little "fat", not really in serious but serious medium.

It must also be careful not to get too serious.

I use the delay and reverb, the sound is good, occasionally other effects such as distortion, decimator, etc.. (But not on the kick - I only use the equalizer or exit 3).

All told, it is possible to make music more calm as the dub and trance, but you have more tweaking to reduce distortion. For hardtek / hardcore is much more useful.

OVERALL OPINION

J'utiise 2 months, I think.

I like the sequencer, the sounds are not terrible, but it is usable in some cases, keyboards, too. I tried synths with real filters and it rocks with the sequencer is fun even if you do not use sound.

I have not tried the other "groovebox", but I think it is possible to compare with the Roland MC-505 and Yamaha RM1x. I listened <span class="conjuguaison">ed pieces made ​​with only the MC-505, I think the Roland sounds much better and I am also convinced that the filters are RM1x better. But I have not tried these sequencers to say how we work with.

The Emx is being manufactured from 2003 until</span> <span class="arial-24-gris-b">now, it's much more than others and quite easy to find new or used.

I</span> ref <span class="conjuguaison">érais this only if the buyer knows well the limitations and want to connect devices such as synthesizers, samplers, drum machines, even, and perhaps also a distortion pedal for harder stuff.

UTILIZATION

yes

SOUNDS

Korg-grain is recognizable
-The emx suits any style of sound, but again she's grain to it, the violin is so hard to sound ducoup vrai.Mais s always a way to make his 'real' with a game on pan, volume, cutoff ...

OVERALL OPINION

-Five years
I'm on Mao, I was also a mc808
Do I like most is that it is terrible, the least is that it becomes limited by force (synth, effects, and it lacks a sampler but esx does just that ) I'm going to buy a sound card so I'll be able to connect to my computer for him to put new effects on the bottom story to give him a second youth.
-Since the price it may cost in time, the price / quality ratio is very interesting
-Despite the limitations of the machine (it's been five years since I have it), I would do without hesitation that choice and I strongly advice for both novice and expert who wishes to expand his studio

Entrance, thru, midi output

The effects are a little gadget but for the electro they may very well served

on the other hand there is no volume for each track send ...

Caution is therefore not monophonic agreements except with the oscillator chord

UTILIZATION

Very intuitive, easy to use it is perfect for making loops in 5 min.

Registration patterns in playback mode.

SOUNDS

The sounds are similar to analog, it is not unrealistic view of the machine.

My favorite sounds with this machine are the sounds that can bring this to a TB 303.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for four years is really the most practical and there is possibility of creating synth sounds really nice.

BAR With this you can quickly create patterns.

I also have a TM 909 be comparable to some but it is less intuitive and different course ...

The correct value for money and

I keep it

see previous comments

UTILIZATION

Child configuration, the manual will enlighten you on the least understood concepts (there really is not much ...)

Editing sounds is very fast and instinctive. When you have understood the logic, the composition may be in minutes, which does not work a bit more precisely a pattern ... Recording on the fly easy (notes, beats, automation ...) After the programming step is not very fast compared to ....( 1 sps is not the same budget either ...)

The tubes have always left quite doubtful ... It's pretty, but it is not really a big thing ...
MIDI sync sometimes seemed a bit imprecise (but it may also be due to my clock generator not top ...)


SOUNDS

Sounds very oriented techno, electro hip hop ... Personally, I soon realized that the attractions of this machine lies more in its use in the quality of its sounds ... (Especially the beats ...) Some synths are pretty cool, they allow some interresting possibilities after good, it remains confined within a fairly narrow field ... Ideal for dial demos ...
Then, it is enough to have fun, if thee a good idea, you can implement it in record time.
The effects, cons, are quite convincing! Possibility of using the machine as a "multi purpose" via audio in ...

OVERALL OPINION

Everything depends on the reasons why we buy it ....

Personally, I bought this machine to introduce me to the production hardware, and I do not regret this purchase at all, even though today I turn to machines much more serious (see Elektron ...). It allows you to enter the logical machine without getting lost in patches too complex and without breaking the bank. Although the sounds are not very massive, its use is very playful, you can spend some time on it without getting bored.
It's still a machine entry level ....
I know that despite the purchase of machinery further, I'll still keep it below the elbow, the ribbon controller, and some effects ....

One of the strengths of Korg in this category of products: It can acquire some machines at a relatively low, although, of course, is far from a war machine ... Korg is always trying to add a small innovation, making their product a little more fun here, the ribbon controller, for creating leads, from a selected mode (Mixolydian, Dorian, blues, etc. ...).

A good introduction to the machine hardware, good value, after, well, it's not the ultimate bug ...
Very funny!

Technical features to go far rather limited

UTILIZATION

Intuitive

SOUNDS

Oriented electronica

OVERALL OPINION

I use the pair ESX1 EMX1 and for some years (minimum, electronica, tek), and I can not get enough. is their main strength in my opinion, they allow bcp creativity and live for those who want to examine it QLQ hours. Korg is the spirit, creating mostly through the direct simplicity and especially algorithms of sounds to work, not samples, pure and simple, giving bcp freedom and experimentation. Weakness: factory and sample sounds (especially keyboards) are quite low, medium quality, and limited in quantity (especially compared to a Roland for example), as the incidence and complexity of the machine rather low (velocity , disagree possible ...). Briefly, we would love to have a good old classic synth tweaking, or even a piano that sounds really.
