Hi there, I've been making my own music for quite some time now, even had some radio play, dipped my toe within the dnb, dub, dance and most overall electronic music within the last year. I had a crappy kaossilator before but have sold it. I now have a chance to get 1 piece of gear this christmas and so need to make a choice. This seems fantastic as a stand alone. Would I be correct? How good are it's sampling capabilities?
@Parivertis Sorry, keeping in mind I've still a lot to learn about a lot of this stuff (check out my channel and you'll see why). Mostly been relegated to downloaded samples, yamaha midi keyboard and the effects on my DAW.
@Parivertis The EMX is pretty kewl as a stand alone synth/drum machine, but it's not a sampler. The ESX-1SD (Make sure it's got the SD card slot, not smart media) is similar, but is JUST a sampler. Personally I wouldn't recommend the ESX just because your DAW is better for sampling. I mainly use the EMX to sample the phat quality synth sounds it can create. If you want a kewl synth/drum machine get the EMX, otherwise I'd probably recommend Ableton Live (with the live controller), btw check ebay!
@trancedboy ah yeah, I already knew of the difference between the S and M models in that respect. I was under the impression it has some line in capabilities though and wasn't sure what those were if that's true. Yeah i suspect i will end up using my DAW to mash up stuff, especially if i can get that setup done so each track is individually recorded. Would be epic combining this with my nanoloops. Just need to get a KP3/KPQ to boost my potential. Oh yeah, this tune is jawsome btw =)
@Parivertis Awesome glad you like it :) Yeah there is a line in, so you can use external samplers/synths and combine them with the EMX effects, which is pretty kewl! You can also sync electribes together or with grooveboxes or other synths using the midi in/out/thru :)
@trancedboy Thanks for all the info, it's really hard to work out what to get started with when you don't fully understand all the lingo and tech behind stuff. This seems pretty versatile though, i reckon i can get a bunch of styles out of it to combine with my abnormal pieces of music production (such as phone sound chips and gameboy advance chip). Who knows, one day I might be able to do live stuff. In between my games design university work that is =P SUBSCRIBE
I find it interesting that this vid has only been watched 148 times as of right now. Been trying to find those who actually can use the Korg Electribe MX-1... your one of the few who manage to pull it off! Again I'll write, Righteous!" Thank you for the vid.
@trancedboy Welcome; I had been lookin' at the Roland MC-909 - visiting with Simon Stokes - and he told me that my best bet was to get something from the Korg Electribe series instead of the 909. It looks like you know how to utilize the emx-1 well... You like it a lot?
@parhelion22 Yeah in this video I'm actually mostly using the EMX-1, but on the left there's an old MC-303 groovebox, which is just used for chords and a piano sound. The EMX has some really good synthesis, Although the drums are just samples. But u can make some really great sounds on it. I'd recommend it over any other Electribe or Groovebox. I got it mainly because i was sick of the low quality sounds my software was making, but in future will probably mix the EMX with music software :)
@trancedboy Awesome :-) Well I've added you to a play list strictly for the EMX-1. Found a couple more artists who used the machine to a full extent. Ultimately I'm very impressed with this musical tool! Gettin' rid of my turntables and buying this in the future.
