Awesome, inspiring tune. I also have an ES-1 and occasionally I'll program my own melody lines using the motion sequence function just as you've described and done here. I usually write down the pitch values for future reference. The ES-1 manual also comes with a useful little chromatic pitch chart that lays out the pitch values and the notes/semi-tones they correspond to.
@jvcforce I didn't use Midi. I used the Motion Sequencer feature in the ES-1. First select your(part) & input a few sounds in the sequencer. Press the Motion Seq button until Trig Hold is selected. Go thru the menu, select Motion Dest. Select (PCh) for pitch. Then select Motion Value in menu, you will see(PCh & Dis flashing in menu). The button will flash in the sequencer. Press to select the lit buttons in the sequencer, turn the jog wheel to change the pitch value. I hope this will help.
@acidphaze I knew you could do that way, but I wasn't sure whether that was how you did it, because it sounds like time consuming process; entering pitch values for each sequence!
@jvcforce It isn't very time consuming, it is quicker than it sounds. I know that maybe it isn't the best way to input notes, but thats all you get using the stand-alone unit. You can get more sounds to play in your songs, with some smart thinking. E.g. You can resample some of the percussion parts into one sample. So you can free up more space, to play more parts. I did this with the hats & snare in this song. But I left the bassdrum as a separate part, that means the percussion is in 2 parts.
@jvcforce Thanks very much for your comment. I have seen some of your Es-1 videos too. They are great to watch & you get a lot out of your Es-1. I haven't had my Es-1 very long, but it is a very fun little box. Which is very easy to learn how to use, and is great to watch too. I suppose the Es-1 is old technology now. So it is very limited. I still prefer my PC & DAW over the Es-1. But all of the Korg stuff on Youtube is popular, so it is still worth while using. Cheers!
@acidphaze I enjoy the limitation of ES-1. On ES-1 you cannot overdone the production (only 9 samples per sequences!), which forces me to choose essential samples, and forces me to come up with simple, yet effective arrangements. Sample time on ES-1 is long enough and easy to import WAVs from PCs.
Is this model ok for doing industrial?
