Published on 08/04/11 at 23:45The 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..
