[Musikmesse] Korg Electribe EMX-1 & ESX-1 SD

The addition of SD/SDHC card storage allows up to 32GB of sound, pattern, song, and sample data to be saved on an individual card. This enables an entire live show’s worth of data to be saved on a single card, the company says.

Vacuum tubes are designed to deliver tube saturation and overdrive. The EMX-1 SD uses Korg’s MMT (Multiple Modeling Technology) sound engine to offer sixteen types of tone generation. The ESX-1 SD offers editing features to provide the freedom to sample and modify sounds in realtime, according to Korg.

Features common to both models include:

• Twin vacuum tube VALVE FORCE circuitry, delivering analog warmth or menacing bite

• Three stereo effects that can be chained together for radical sound warping

• Crisp filters and speedy-smooth timbral modulation

• Built-in step sequencer, delivering intuitive song production

• Motion Sequence function, to capture and replay sound-tweaking knob movements

• Arpeggiator, ribbon controller and slider, for generating inspired phrases

• Auto BPM Detection, which sets the tempo based on any external audio source
