Thanks for posting this, created using the Yamaha TX81Z - a cool FM synth. The producer Babyface at one point had two TX81Z units in his studio, both of which he kept set to a bass patch, one detuned from the other. This became a part of his signature sound. The best synth patches for this classic synth can be found at manymidi.com
I was wondering if anyone knows what could be wrong with my ER1 MK2. I let it sit for a year and went to use it last week. When I go to use the sequencer and try to toggle the 1-16 buttons more than one will light up. (ie: if I hit 1 then 1,3,4 light up. If I hit 6 then 6,7,8,and 9 will light up.) Tried resetting to defaults. Took apart and saw no popped caps or burnt boards. Everything else works fine just that. Any Ideas anyone?
no.. although sometimes in the ads they claim to be haha. they are all definitely digital based. the X electribes have analogue tube amps, but the sound generation is still digital.
Can you put on a micro, a kaospad, or on other instrument in an ER-1 to record real sounds while the drums part continues, and, is it possible to create bass parts on the ER-1, or sounds with different notes, pitches?
Yep! That's true... Some people seem to have trouble with the synth drums... they're fun to use on their own, or if you want, layer it with some PCM Drum Machine/Rompler or a Sampler ;)
use the audio ins too and you have some insane sounds coming from it :)
Ring modulation is a multiplication of frequencies. Just assign two parts to ringmod and when they play together, that's when the modulation happens. It takes some guesswork to get the sound shaping to work for you, mostly for esoteric noises. For traditional sounds, it can make some slamming kicks and good snares.
Wow, after owning my ER-1 for about 2 months now, and coming back to this video, it's as if I can appreciate it way more than before. Quite awesome what you do with the cross mod; before I got my EA-1 I was feeling the ER-1 by itself was too empty, but it looks like I just wasn't getting creative enough! I had barely dealt with cross mod at all, it's quite powerful.
contrary to popular belief the er-1 is a 2 operator FM drum machine, not analog modeling. the 2 waveforms selectable by the button (sine and triangle) function as the carrier, and the six waveforms selectable with the knob are the modulator. the cross mod functions as another algorithm, with the carrier becoming a modulator too, modulating the modulator or maybe itself (feedback). im not sure about the exact mod path on the cross mod, but i know its one of the 2, probably the first.
no bad track

Id like to see a new electribe with the ER1s synth drum section, the EMX1s synth section and the ESX1s sampler section :)

This is an incredible display of what the er1 is capable on its own. Awesome stuff.

have er-1 analog claps ? or these claps are digital sampling pre-saved? CAn do hardcore-techno kicks? thanks
fuckableteam 3 years ago
The claps are PCM, but you can tweak them a bit and get some different sounds :P
To get the tunes you want, you could get Korg EMX or ESX...
Or Roland's MC-303 or 505 :)

I think the cross-mod on the ER-1MKII is cool, but I liked the Ring Mod on the original better myself.

Any Idea how that Ring Mod works? I have an ER-1 I mean I can tell what it does I just dont get it's function.
