Making Songs on a Korg Electribe EMX (and a little bit of noodling at the end!)

[footflowerface]

nice viid. mate!

[LoveHateSituations]

Fuxkin sweet as sucks how diddnt see you use the kaoss pad :\

[BEERPOWERkata]

thanks finaly i figured it out how it works to set up patterns :D

[giveupthepfunk]

are you scrolling through the "A01,2,3, etc" by pressing that button on the right (third button to the right of PLAY) ?? I see people in videos pushing it all the time and it seems to make new synths n beats come in so im assuming its a "NEXT" button?

[5cot99]

So basically, each "A01" is just a four bar melody to get a full song you might need like "A57". Sorry if it's confusing, but if anyone can answer, would help a lot.

[korgbro]

@5cot99

Not sure what you're asking exactly. But yes, A01 is full bar. then set up a song by selecting other four bars and putting them together.

[ItBeReece]

Would you say its easy to use?

for live use?

thanks for answering

[korgbro]

@ItBeReece yeah it is. a bit of a learning curve without any other synth experience but read the manual!

[blackout2240]

@korgbro yeah im reading a lot from the manual. i agree

[ItBeReece]

I now want one aha

[BabySaltShaker]

When i press write it says protect error. What do i do?

[bumblepuss]

@BabySaltShaker RTFM, it's downloadable if you don't have it. Or go to global and scroll down to and turn protect off. I think you have to do this after everytime you power down the EMX.

[korgbro]

@bumblepuss

thanks a lot for answering, it's actually really helpful when other people do that!

[S1lverjazz]

@BabySaltShaker hit global then set protect to off

[volltroll]

thank you! not that easy to follow with all the upside down messing ^^ But it works and leaves much more possibilities for live performance! Keep going! Simon

[Schnelson]

Yo, i feel really stupid for asking, but could you show me the exact steps to making that basic club beat you made? its in all the premade patterns, but when i try making it with the step sequencer i get a really awkward beat. :/ thanks so much!

[Zzonked8]

Thanksss xD, whats a micc jackk thoo aha, last question xD

[Zzonked8]

Sorrryy Forr Beingg Annoyingg , But Whatt Softwaree Shouldd I Usee Too Putt Musicc Onn Maaa Laptooppp , Anddd I Googeldd Thatt Converterr Thingg , Whatt Doess It Doo , Where Do I Connect It , Whatt Doo I Dooo Witth Itt :/... Sorry Dudee , Thannkk Youu Sooo Muchh For Hellpingg Thoo

[korgbro]

use audacity, its free. And the convertor thing you just plug into the mic jack in your computer. And then it should just automatically record when you press the record button in audacity.

[sirchristian12]

@korgbro is audacity give good quality when you record the song off the Electribe?

[korgbro]

@sirchristian12

yeah it works

[Zzonked8]

Thankss Dudee, Butt If I Wanted Too Savee Stuff Onn Maa Laptop... Whatt Leadd Wouldd I Needdd And What Music Softwaree?? , Cheerss xD

[korgbro]

[korgbro]

@Zzonked8

1/4 cable -> 1/8th converter

[AlBhedGeoff76]

yeahhh i heard thats more along the lines of esx.

starting with your own samples and everything

[Schnelson]

hmm. I did exactly as you did, but when i press play the emx plays some random song based off the pattern i chose. I can mess with it, but i cant just start from scratch with my own stuff....

[korgbro]

thats really odd.

give me some more information

[Schnelson]

oh! well i bought this used and apparently some dude had some old songs on it or something. Sorry! I figured it out. nifty stuff dude!

[korgbro]

word. glad you got it working.

[Schnelson]

last question? :) i made a song, but i dunno how to save it. I get to the part with the "rewrite" part but i dont see buttons used for naming or even related to letters....Thanks.

[korgbro]

hahahah! this is exactly my first thought when naming things. My electribes at my other house. I'll get back to you on that tomorrow. Alright dude?

[Schnelson]

yeah, thanks bro. XD btw i can save patterns.

[jtm94]

I definitely like the end product.

[korgbro]
