The new Electribes

  • Beautiful review. High quality. Love it. The portability of the op-1 appeals to me. But you would recommend the electribe?
    Now there's the synth or sampler dilemma. Which one to go for?

  • Yes, I would recommend the Electribe over the Op1. As for sampler or synth, no details of the sampler have been released yet, so hard to say. Maybe this weekend.

  • how do you rate the op-1 for sample based music?

    I'd give it a 4-5 out of 10

  • I'm an ESX owner - was seriously thing of upgrading to the new ESX2, but can't find answers to a couple questions:

    • do the pads respond to velocity now or can you at least program a velocity instead of just accent
    • is it backwards compatible with ESX patterns and samples?
    • which features of the ESX are missing apart from tube amp
    • how many keyboard parts are possible - just 2 on the old ESX

    Cheers!

    1. Yes the pads respond to velocity
    2. No it's not backwards compatible with esx files
    3. Quite a few including 8 bar pattern length and arpegiator
    4. Any of the 16 can be keyboard parts, so 1 to 16 :)
  • Chilled Drum & Bass jam on the emx 2. Realy being productive with this.

  • Really good stuff. I'm completely chilled out now. Great beat bytheway:)

  • Also, should point out that nothing at all has been released about the new electribe sampler in terms of specs or features. So mostly it's just logical guessing at this point. Hopefully we lean more about it tomorrow at NAMM.

  • And nothing new about already discontinued Monotribe :-(

  • I'm wondering if Analog Rytm would be better investment. Thoughts? Anyone used both? Thanks.

  • Pretty big differences in functions and price, what are you wanting either for?

  • I love the sound of mine more and more

  • is it unusual that we didn't hear anything about the sampler version at NAMM? Maybe Messe?

  • I just got one and totally love it!!
    Anyone knows if we can get the midi implementation of this machine??

  • It's in the back of the parameter guide:

  • I'm still waiting for mine. 15th is the expected date from the Swedish distributor. Hopefully Korg can squeeze out some shipments earlier tho.

    @tarekith What batteries did you use to get 10 hr? Korg specs says 5 hr with whatever battery they had in the spec (can't remember). What capacity? And where they rechargeable batteries?

  • I think they were just energizer max, nothing special. I should add I sometimes just and it on next to me and wasn't actively using it too.

  • I see, thanks

    Thanks, it's not what I was asking for but anyway I'm better off learning to use the machine as it is for the moment.
    Developing ninja moves is the art of playing those things!

    EDIT:
    I've seen the implementation of the old EMX and got a bit scared!

    Oops, sorry, it's in the back of the manual (2nd to last page), not the parameter guide,

    Sorry about that:

    This can sync via that pulse sync thing-y thing right (not my thing all these sync protocols)? With the volcas etc. I know the new PO's synths from Teenage Engineering are also using this pulse/audio sync (and they work with Korgs volcas). So theoretically, I should be able to connect the Electribe to a PO with the 3,5mm sync out on the Electribe, have all 3 PO's synced to the Electribe via each PO's audio pass-through (which is there solely for pulse sync), take the 3,5mm audio cable on the other end and hook it back into the audio in on the Electribe, and have the 3 PO units behave as a OSC source on one of the 16 parts on the Electribe. Effectively making the PO units kinda like extension cards.:) Or does the audio in behave differently in any way on the Electribe ?

    Well, hope that made sense

  • Yes, the electribe can output clock pulses, worked fine with my Volca Keys.

    Audio in on the electribes can either go straight through uneffected, or you can use the effects and filters to process it. The second method does require setting note triggers and tying them all together unless you want the audio gated. Very flexible.

    Ok, sounds like it's gonna be a lot of fun. When it all gets here that is.

    Got a very early order in on the PO's fortunately. The Electribe is very hard to get hold of in Sweden though atm. I've managed to put some Ol' dude with contacts at Korg on it, and he promised he'd get me a unit within 1-2 weeks (he's some boss in a music store chain with around 40 stores around Europe/Nordic countries, so hopefully this is it, otherwise the next shipment is in April, and F that!:).

  • Thanks Tarekith

    The pulse sync is awesome! I've used it to sync the volca with different equipment and in different ways, from gate out of the minibrute arpeggiator running, to lfo's where waveform and amount changes the groove! Haven't tried the electribe with those weird stuff though.

  • I saw a video w/ a Korg rep saying some samples/osc's in this comes from the old Electribes, and some from Gadget. I knew this would obviously "overlap" a bit with gadget. But....how much Gadget is in there? Besides legacy content, is all other content from Gadget? I don't even know why I'm asking, cos I'm still getting it. But the sampler version do look more and more tempting tho..

  • when is the sampler version gonna hit, and why so little info about it?

  • Last I've heard sometime late March, no idea why there's not more info on it.

    I honestly don't know any firm numbers, but I'd say it's only a few of the raw OSC's, there's not a ton of overlap.
