  • any news about Sampler, please?

  • It's been shipping for a little while now, have seen that a few people have them.

  • just checked thomann: middle august :(

    Anyone gotten a chance to try out Roland JD-Xi? Roland's new groovebox thaang. I'm thinking of trading in my E2 for that one, simply because I SUCK at playing melodies etc on pads. I made a beat on the E2 today that really pushed it all into the red, getting that thumping/crunchy smack-u-in-the-face sound the E2 can put out. If I get this one instead, I'll prolly gonna miss that as im pretty sure the JD-Xi is a bit week sauce here, but I'll gain polyphony and keys....loose some VA modeling I guess...hmm

    Selling my E2 also for that. too bad, because the E2 could be an awesome machine. But I miss:

    • custom chords
    • proper arp (like on the old EMX)
    • triplets
    • PITCH-FREAKING-BEND when connecting a keyboard.

    and quite some.

    @alexbuga Well, I didn't regret swapping the E2 for the JDXi. On the JDXi I actually get some beats/things going, I think the main thing is that it has actual keys, I simply couldn't handle the pads on the E2.

    One thing you really should keep in mind though is that the JDXi only has 4 parts (2 digital/va, 1 drum, 1 monophonic analog). So if you liked having 16 parts available w/ various things going, muting/unmuting stuff to build a song on the E2, you're gonna find the JDXi a bit lacking on that front. You're gonna have to make use of the supernatural engine to overcome the 3 sounds + drums per pattern (it is with some smart preset programming able to fart out 5-7 different sounds if needed, and it has the polyphony to pull it of). It can also record preset changes inside a pattern which helps a bit as well (via external sequencer, or with the internal via a "minor" workaround:)

    Edit: Oh, and it's mostly menu driven. Even basic things like panning a sound means menu diving. Fortunately Roland released extensive documentation on the midi/sysex/etc, so at least one cross platform fully featured editor standalone/vst/AU is in the works. And with some hope iOS 9 might run that thing as AU on the iPad (which would be sschwweet)

  • The ONLY thing I'm finding lacking in the JD-Xi is no swing option in the sequencer. Virtually every beat I play has swing, so I find this limiting. EDM is the machine's natural strength.

  • Really? Not even in the menus?
    Damn, because my tracks are always comprised of swinged hip hop-ish beats like Thievery Corporation and chill pads & Stuff.
    so swing is my main "sauce".

    That's what bugs me about the Electribe. You can apply swing to the pattern but you cannot record unquantised due to the 16 steps.

  • Yea no swing. Yet. I'm fairly sure Roland will implement this. I mean, how could they NOT? It's such a rudimentary feature. I know they are aware of at least some feature requests (like a song mode, which seems to be the most requested feature ATM), and nothing is off the table, the device is still very young. That's what they're saying at the moment from what I gathered.

    It does have proper 1/32 (unlike the E2). And 1/12 or something.

  • Update 1.10 for the E2 is out: http://www.korg.com/us/support/download/software/0/367/1513/

    The following improvements and bug fixes are ported from "electribe sampler".

    • Further improvements for Pattern changing
    • "Audio Export" function exports stereo .wav file
    • "Export/Import" All Pattern
    • Inter-pattern "Copy Part" and "Copy Part Sound"
    • Improved XY-Pad performance
    • Reduced noise on "Poly2" mode
    • Low-level software bugs have been fixed

    Yeah... too bad I sold mine and the courier just brought me the money :)

    Off to buy the JD-XI... although I'm still having second thoughts...

    Should I wait another week? Summer namm is around the corner

  • It's just a week.

  • Technically not exactly... if they announce stuff... like that Yamaha reface stuff... it'll be available in sep/november... or who knows ;)

    I remember I've preordered my electribe 2-3 months before.

  • Electribe Sampler and JD-Xi could be such a powerful and mobile setup. What a bummer that the Roland can't be operated with batteries.

  • it is shipping :)

    Just sending my JDXi back today! My 2p? Don't bother. Out of the 2, I preferred the Electribe. I sold that too after a few months!

  • Yeah, I've come to the conclusion that if you want standalone hardware nothing compares to the iPad, or if you don't mind being tethered to a computer get a Maschine MK2. NOTHING beats that. Sad I had to sell mine to get the electribe. I want it back now :))

    I got a real korg electribe and its catching dust for 10 years.Only used for about 2 weeks.You can buy mine :)

    Edit:

    My fault.I didnt read it right and i see you want the Maschine MK2 back. Never mind

    Maschine Studio?? :p

  • edited July 2015

    Maschine Studio is nice, but it's quite big. I would honestly pay even double for a Maschine MK2 with color LCDs standalone or at least one with audio interface.

    I had both the old electribes. Too limited, although the EMX sounded interesting under my fingers.

    PS: Scratches are also EMX. Noise osc + BP resonant filter :D and mad fingers

  • I got an og emx today.. First beat

    Sounds awesome. How much did that set you back?

  • As @Goozoon points out: the Hack is on.

    Personally I got myself the ES2 and it's everything I wanted it to be aside from the sample-management saving setup (which is something of a throwback to the days of floppies and zip disks ..brr!)

    If you love working with samples and feel at all "stuck behind the glass" as I sometimes do on iOS** the new Electribe seem radically underrated and fulfills the tactile-need extremely well.

    **I still absolutely love iOS music making and do it daily.

  • @duck_waddle said:

    320usd. It's the SD version and it came in the original box. It's minty :D

    I've wanted an og emx since they where first released. For some reason never got around to buying one, so I got a good deal offered and thought why not :)

  • @MirEko Very nice job! Now I want one...Again.
    (Never owned one, just keep wanting to)

  • To those considering hacking their Electribe, you may want to hold off. Korg recently announced that they'll be releasing an official firmware update that will allow you to dual boot later this fall.

  • Where is the announcement?

    ??? Sorry

    There really isn't one. Internet Rumor turned Breaking News syndrome. Two theories don't make a fact, people.
