All user reviews for the Korg ElecTribe EMX1

Possde squenceur a good (up to 128 notes per pattern), very easy to use. We relied on one of the nine tracks of perceived or 5 synth tracks and recorded notes in the pattern, not more complicated! Trs Possde a good effects section (three effects simultaneously). Each track can be directed to one of three effects. The effects can be chains (1,2,3 indpendants or 1 to 2 and 3 alone or 1 to 2 to 3). I drive my Novation Nova Russi from squenceur what is really practical given the "limitations" of the synth part and the lack of variation on percussion. Question types of effects have been right a lot, a fact which "form" imitating the human voice, not bad at all, a 2-band EQ and a compressor that brings some punch to the sound! In addition to the tubes can really bring more to the song. We can get more via the audio IN and synchronize squenceur from the BPM of the audio IN (I have yet to test this functionality. There are 4 or 5 types of LFOs that are routable on the filter, the CSOs or CSO paramtre EDIT1 Edit2 affecting paramtres two main oscillator is chosen, the volume or pan.

UTILIZATION

Trs simple config, everything from buttons and Grable potentiomtres. Only a few functions used are less Grable only from the menu screen. The manual looks clear and well described, but unfortunately in English.

SOUNDS

The sounds of classical percussions are hyper, dj as seen and heard but hey it works! The synth sounds are not bad and it is possible to get a lot of original sounds from DIFFERENT types of oscillators but synthse dire need of such CONTRL from my novation nova or even my Juno 106 (not ADSR EG trs just a basic ADSR envelope, not on filters - part here as a basic EG - which is a shame). Nanmoins can get good bass sounds, sounds trance style but in terms of "strings" or "pads" that's not the top ... L is far from a Nova or other VA. It is the most comprehensive synthesis that is handy. The effects are effective trs but be careful not to abuse it!

OVERALL OPINION

Only a few hours on the bte but overall I am happy and I feel trs there are ways to do many things with the MX, but can not be alone ... A small sampler and a good synth (analog / VA) will come to trs well complter a good groovebox dj trs.

See above ^^^^^^^

UTILIZATION

More and intuitive, anyone can get started with a little good will. Ergonomics trs good overall with a higher compared to the old Electribe: The PartMute + Solo
The little extra for the excellent live. A bank's relatively cool, all the style of electronic music are REPRESENTATIVES of Ambient Big HardCore the right through the good old Hip Hop, Electro and Tek Pioupiou club ...
AND Trs manuiel a clear, Trs rich, complete and FRENCH (included in the package)!

SOUNDS

Nikel sounds are a little shame for regular virtual studios or the lack of synths some paramettre (ADSR, parametric EQ ... [in my raves ...])
What sounds raliste qu'intentin classic, but c in old pots that makes the best soups.
Section arpgiator really nice and some LFO modulation hard to beat!

OVERALL OPINION

Trs good machine but do not take it for a workstation, coupled with other small wonders notament some sequencer software like Orion, Fruity to control MIDI ARTKAYK sympathik but for those who lack the means to afford a controller (complete) MIDI.
Ciao good Discoveries

Lezartkayks

See above for technical info

UTILIZATION

With regard to the first machine for someone who is a novice like me, it does not take long to get some ides intrressantes succeed.
The manual is clear and informative.
The functions are quickly assimilated and it's good to have fun and get a RaPD rsultat giving good.
Of course there are a few hours to spend on it to be comfortable but you get something for nothing.
Conseillle same when I record your diffrent sequences with a MIDI keyboard connect your electribe rather than saving them not only not. This is much faster and much more musically informative (at least you learn to use a keyboard).

Let's talk about the possibilities live.

This machine is made for that.
All the controls are under your nose in the form of knobs (volume, pitch, filter, eg time ...).
In short all to change the sound in real time.
When I mention it looks easy but the work must have to live for hours and hours of training in order to give a true sense of his music can be good but ds Premire the hours pass on its a grind, and mumuse to piss off the neighbors.

The arpegiator is super super nice what do I with DCON.

SOUNDS

With regard to the sound ah ah .....
The sound is warm
From my point of view I sastisfait.
The sound is well suited for all electronic music.
Of course if you want to do the dance hall I advise you arcordeon and a good CD Yvette Horner I embrace the transition.

Ngatifs points:

- Lack a little in the low agressivit.

- Instruments such as violins, guitars are really poor quality (for me)
Pros:

- Y a lot, but the main one being the possibility of cre your sound and your music.

OVERALL OPINION

It has been three months since I use my tribe (and yes we are close now) every day.
I use it in any compound I cre.
It is part of my music and it is an instrument for Entire.

There are some who love or not love, each of these tastes.

At this price CHRE as usual but not regret the purchase.

If I remake c'tait again.

See below ...

Sequencer a little short, but we believe that most contemporary éléctrocompositeurs were too lazy to program beyond measures 8 ...

UTILIZATION

After a year with my beast .... I would not trade for anything in MONDE.Idéal or more for live performance, ergonomics foolproof, that makes me spend hours tinkering with my patterns and sounds . As for the arpeggiator, and well ... just for him I crack.
In short, everything to the touch, flexible and intuitive ... not to feel bullied, if not ultimately by the relatively small number of sounds ...
Not seen better for the price, I feel we will grow old together ...

SOUNDS

PCM sounds a little ridiculous (but usable with a little humor and lots of delay); waveforms malleable and powerful (beautiful unison, Sin not far from the ultimate sub ..). Sounds bass drum vibrating and I assure you that with a little sound, one begins to quickly jeu.Snare Drums somewhat less successful, but it plays when meme.Les internal effects are cepandant a little "cheap" overall (reverb ...). forget we still under the fingers of a machine that runs the old school to tek sounds much less heard.
In my opinion, the lights, it's not just about dressing, bommage the outputs 3 and 4 to escape ...

OVERALL OPINION

In the end, a beautiful réussite.Pour me, it is the center of my config, backed by a sampler and a synth a bit more advanced, it was there under your fingers a powerful potential ....

I'll have a second if I had more hands.

See the test that says all there is to know!

UTILIZATION

Trs easy to use, I got a lot of fun ds over the first few days, yet this is my first machine. All rpond the finger and the eye and everything is accessible directly (no submenus cache). The manual is after three months that the situation in order to better dissquer bbette this and find 2 or 3 dernires tips we would not notice. Not bad rdig this manual also is plutt clear and well explained.

SOUNDS

The sounds sound terrible! I think it is this strength that made me lean toward the purchase of the groovebox. I will not go until they tell me to poustoufl ism but it's really enjoyable ear. Any fawn is to make electro, not the classic, then ism ...
The effects are sympatoches. It can be applied by 3 pattern and combine them if necessary. Combining the three gives a mess in niagaresque dpart but once rglages well Doss, lets out sounds really crazy.

OVERALL OPINION

I possde for 1 year and I intend to keep it. I use it to make music studio (yes!) And even if it's not the machine for idalie, and well suits me well trs. The thing that kills me is for the "motion sequence" (24 per pattern I think): the pure ball!
What can I say except that I love this machine, it is idalie for beginners in electronic music, and is super mimi!
Voil.

- 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.

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 ...

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 ...

A pair of MIDI I / O + MIDI Through
a pair of output jack L / R and a spare pair 3 / 4 interesting!
effects: ca not go from the ugly rverb which is very unfortunate.
effects are not really ditables but enough for a "beginners"
PCM sounds: it is therefore for the electro acoustic sounds imitations are very bad I think, but you can actually use them with humor lol
Squenceur 8 measures (one is small but I found a nice technique)
A patern for the chorus and one for the verse (if made with this in mind)

Motion sequence very nice!

UTILIZATION

It recalled the good old analog synths (that is not a simulation EXAGRES anyway)
All essential functions are in faade Submitted! And it's a gift!

The manual is frankly very clear! (It's cool for anyone who has seen jamma groove)

SOUNDS

Personal I think the machine alone is a bit soft on the bass, but as it is couple with a compressor, an equalizer and a multi purpose the external ca become INTERESTED!

(Pity we can not CRER our own drums) but the method can be acted on. (Ca rest of the hack)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years now she has allowed me to compose a lot of "good music" (the PC is thankfully)

Damage (no polyphony), lamps? Where? (Very soft) very bad reverb.

C'tait my first groove and I am delighted to have learned many things with normment!

Very good rappot qualitprix: I think at this price you can buy it eyes closed (it's still very good for beginners who want to ruin)

I remake that choice again (but now it becomes just too right for me)

synth great for this type of machine but no polyphony. (It's a drum machine and not a synthesizer but still it would have been well come ...)

no utility pc

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use and intuitive
function available very accessible

SOUNDS

Its very good (especially lamps)
effects for designers to boost the sounds

OVERALL OPINION

A simple machine to start, compact, inexpensive, ...
highly complementary with ESX1
good sound, the look (it also has), it all
Septic korg before, but not anymore!

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)
