    Korg ElecTribe Es-1Published on 10/31/08 at 16:00
    This is great for a drum machine... I wasn't thinking of doing any DJ work or live performance before I got this, but I think I will be able to now (along with my DX100 :D)

    Price paid

    340

    UTILIZATION

    Super easy but... If you want to organize samples and keep the originals, it's really hard to do. You can't export samples in any normal formats. That is stupid. It took me 3 hours to organize the sounds.

    Um, it's plastic.

    SOUNDS

    Sample rate isn't great, but it's hardly noticeable (32k). The actual SOUNDS are up to you (it's a sampler...). The low end comes out really great though, which is something hard to find with cheaper stuff.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's a real tight piece of stuff.

    Although this little machine is loaded with features, it is missing a few critical components. First off, it does not allow you to chop up the slices so you have to use SmartMedia and chop it up on a computer. Also, you may only use one effect for all 12 triggers. Otherwise this is a tight little sampler. Motion sequence also allows you to create new melodies.

    $400.00 USD

    UTILIZATION

    Read the manual! If you don't read the manual, you will probably get frustrated. Motion sequence is hard to learn but once you get the hang of it, you will be unstoppable. Slicing works best with drums. Otherwise, you could put together a dope pattern in a matter of minutes.

    SOUNDS

    The sound quality is good. The sample rate(3200)is OKAY. The effects are nice and the preset sample quality is way above par as far as some samplers go.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It is a plastic sampler with knobs that feel like you could break them off. It has a metal face but that is only for looks. Mine has been through much and it still works with no problems. It is build very well, however I don't know how durable it is but no problems so far.

    This is a great sampler for beginners like myself. There are some limitations but don't give up because you will learn how to work around them. This would work well for learning about samplers and how they work. This thing is fun and easy to use and would be a great first sampler before an MPC.
