Korg ElecTribe Es-1 MkII

Everything is already said in the opinion prcdents

USE

The machine is easy to quickly learn, provided you have some knowledge in the field (minimum enough, it simply is not much).
The functions are accessible very easily, without any concern, very positive opinion about it l.
The manual sometimes lacks clarity that ncissite a little more research and "hacks" Personal (again, this machine is all about a few minutes [or a simple search on AF.])
I CONSIDERED than an evening, the machine can be perfectly mastered.

SONORITS

The original sounds are not extraordinary. These are sounds really "basic" but Nevertheless agrables and practices to learn the knowledge that they are varis and standard sounds.
I import my own samples through the holy SmartMedia.
That said I seduce permit a few bass sounds that I regard.
The effects are well satisafaisants, execute easy and very effective. To make live is gnial!

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use my mkII dpeuis about 2 months but with the smartmedia card for several days.
I love doing live with this machine, it's very fun, it quickly lends itself to the game of mix.
I start with this machine so I can not compare with other models approaching the mkII. I can even say that when Idale to start.
I think the mkII is worth its price, and made quite versatile sound quality is correct.
Idale for a beginner (I rpete but I really advise)
I would maybe not this choice because I have a bigger budget but under the same conditions, the same budget, the same expectations, I would take that machine.

Jack 6.35 for 2 + 1 line output for headphones
1 entry dedicated to sampling in 6.35
3-port MIDI IN / OUT / TRU
1 Smart Media port for import / export its samples

Sampler / sequencer well done,
Sections built-in effects that can be assigned to each sample or part of a sequence

UTILIZATION

fairly easy to pick up if you have already worked on the Korg gear for other manual is very well done, clear and explicit.
For beginners, can be a bit confusing at first, but just look tite a week on it (I've never taken the time to do) for the control at your fingertips.
Note 9 to the good performance of the whole, because for me a lack of effects from section can not be assigned more than two effects on the same sample

SOUNDS

This is a sampler if ca ........ not like it crushes everything and 100 samples is recharged by what we need. Originally it is riveted Hip-hop/break, not my style ..... but must admit that the drum kit is a something of pti intéerssant!
9 also for style

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it on a whim, I've never really had a chance to look at me "seriously", but I agree that it's a great machine works!
Others tried before ES1 models? Heuuuu a Roland MC-303, ca account?
