All user reviews for the Korg ElecTribe EMX1

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 ...

UTILIZATION

very simple configuration, after over an hour with the manual, it is already beginning to make its mark!

Manual well supplied but clear enough

once you start to learn and memorize the locations of each setting is a real treat to play with!

SOUNDS

sounds very good, there's something for every taste, from the piano synths through the strings and synth guitars for the game, and plenty to do for the drums.

For my part, by grinding a little knobs I think there is always something to do! we never tire of it!

OVERALL OPINION

having recently purchased used I do not regret my purchase at all, many sounds, somewhat amazingly simple to spend 15 minutes on the manual is a versatile machine that I recommend to all!

OVERALL OPINION

I recently re-listened to the songs I made with a few years ago before the exchange against a Gibson Nighthawk (yes it's true, there's the fadas everywhere).

I remember she seemed terribly intuitive and easy to use and I had great fun with rhythm tracks with my old project Tin.RP http://www.myspace.com/72662568

But in the replay, what a disappointment! The sounds include Bassdrum dire need of depth and dynamics and synths seem flat and tasteless. I am thinking of buying a regular ESX because I really like the interface of this series of electribe to put in real samples of TR XOX sounding and real samples of pads that sound too ... When you think it was worth 800 euros when it came out !!!!!

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

The sounds are a little outdated but working a little, we always happens to change the 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.
</span>

for ref, see directly on the site

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

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).

I think everything has already been said by now, just read the features of the beast on the site

UTILIZATION

configuration is very simple, it gives me the strong point of the machine, everything is very intuitive and directly accessible via the pads and knobs; AC can dial has the instinctive

SOUNDS

electronic sounds are clear, this is not a machine to make classical music.

Me well I agree, and there are ways to create sounds really space

effects are not of great qualities, I used little, apart from the delays, but it can still allow things to cool, if you do not grow too much.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 2008, with esx and Others, and I always find things on, I do not regret at all, the intuitive aspect of the composition on this machine for me is his strong point, after noise and opportunities there are much better, but this is not the same price and often less intuitive

See guide, pub, youtube ... It is a known machine!

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple?

with practice, yes

The usual functions are they easily accessible?

very

The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

say 8 / 10

SOUNDS

The sounds they are suitable to your style of music?

Can a typed, but there tling changes to make it comes out soon

Are they realistic?

No bank instrument (piano, harpsichord and other crap)

The effects are they effective and appropriate?

yes, but it lacks a bit of diversity.
The expression is good? (Response to velocity, aftertouch)?
What are the sounds you prefer, you hate? ...

... it is a bit of breath


OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?

2009

What thing do you like most/least about it?

The sound is good and greasy

Did you try many other models before getting this one?

not

What is your opinion about the value for the price?

The best groove at the best price

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

I even have the taste to buy one for the car!

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.
