KORG ER-1

[voidtube1]

I like the sound , how did you make the snare-like sound starting arround 3:36?

[MrMarshole]

Are you running the ER-1 into a compressor? Sounds great!

[petemk1966]

i move like that when i need a piss lol nice tune

[MrThomasBlanco]

sei un grande!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!



[golafs]

you definitely make the best ER-1 kick drum sounds ;)

this and that: /watch?v=8uvbSYHjWJ4

[MistahmiZheJAH]

This is sum Minimal Shit......Love it keep it UP........... I (L) MINIMAL "Soul Music"

[evensteven66]

I love the begginning of the video/song.. love those minimal beats/sounds i want an electribe now!!!!!!

[evilwondertwin87]

reminds me of music from pixeljunk eden. very cool.

[radishfest]

@evilwondertwin87 check out the kaossilator (also from korg), the music really was made with one of those and they're preeety nifty~

[JimmyDiggs87]

@evilwondertwin87 first thing that crossed my mind

[9O2O2]

good stuff, looks like a cool little machine

[GarageArian]

NNNNNNNNNice work!!!!! :)

[JVGmidi]

is the er1 mk2 better then the er1

[lavishmcronald]

I really want one of these!

[visibleburner]

i bought ER-1 & manual off a friend for an oz. of hydro . connected some old Yamaha analog scratch pads via MIDI to it ,and aux input my zoom pedal through my Yamaha 8 ch.mixer gain's accompanied with my roland D-20 synth. some amazingly dope arangements and very immense sounds ,tones,effects,can be made , im having much fun with this .... ....long live analog.............any one with collaborative advise ?

i belive the band nine inch nails used this very rythm synth back in the day

[Wormsie]

I want this as an MP3!

[Pieter328]

I own the ES1, and the ER mkII, and in my opinion there are too few melody options. But with the effercts you have, you make a great groove

[SPAZZOID100]

@Pieter328

If you want melody parts, just use a separate keyboard.

The electribes and the grooveboxes would have been better strictly as drum synths

[Dynamo883]

is it possible to filter a keyboard sound on ER-2

[inbetweenmovements]

very nice!!!! er-1 rulez!

[superspeedfreek]

Yo, I know this is a total noob question, but how do you set the pattern length on ER-1 EA-1? I've had both of those for a while & it is a mystery to me. Funny thing is I recently picked up an ESX-1 & have no confusion or problems setting the pattern length. Appreciate the help!

BTW: that's a nice groove you got goin', good structure.

[cheddybumpkins]

@superspeedfreek hit the shift button and press buttons 1 through 4 to set the length.

[alexnova85]

I use to have ER-1, BUT SOLD IT. I was looking for 909 drums, now i want to get it back because its nice for elektro music. Also have EM-1 and its good, but drums little bit different

[Elektriber]

real good techno , i also got an ER-1 and i love it. awesome drum machine.

[Roelie20]

u should combine it with a EA

then u got the same as a EM

[dubchronic]

@Roelie20: Not exactly, the EM is a ROMpler [with minimal tweak abilities] while the ER & EA is Virtual Analog.

[chones68]

Does the er1 hook directly into an amp?

[pmsan29]

Not bad. A+ for effort.

[robrolfeisgood]

now correct me if im wrong but......

there appears to be a rather large rabbit hugging a radias rack. am i seeing this

or did i get some dodgy acid ?

[Earthwormification]

Dude...I think your right

[alexandergrootswager]

@robrolfeisgood I love you

[TinoBoa]

This is realy good my friend...

[MiniVal92]

very nice sound!!!yo man

[crubba]

whats the difference with, say, the em-1? ive got an em-1, and i'm aware of the es-1 and the emx-1. a little help?

p.s. lovin your beats!

[Mamiya645]

EM1 has sampled drums and two synth voices, was sold as "Music Production System", an all in one solution. ER1 is a drum-synth with nine or ten synth voices meant for drums, but as we can see here, a little creativity and experimentation helps make it more than just a drum-synth.

[visibleburner]

@Mamiya645 2 aux inputs on it can line in cd players and mixers sort of make it into a real time sampler when you hit the key or make a patern will play the part of whatever cd or record you are playing at the time

[golafs]

@Mamiya645 yebb, the ER1 has 4 voices with sampled drums and 4 voices for synthetic drums/percussion.

pretty lovely little machine :)

[wigwamjuice]

i absolutely love this machine. i know that many people consider the sounds to be "dated" but i use mine with my circuit-bent setup of instruments and the thicker sounds from the er-1 really compliment it.  enjoyed your sounds!

[velezredaarmy]

I am seling it for 150eur...if someone is buying it let me know!!!

[absynth909]

I just put one on Layaway.

I'm paying 295 for it.

Can't wait to pair this bad boy up with my microKORG!

[pedtorox]

When did this come out? 1999?

[sungrazer]

How does the ER-1 work with odd time signatures?

Another dumb question: can I load a midi file into this at all or must everything be programmed into it?

[senhorlampada]

You can dump Midi into it! But it may be tricky! I don't remeber how to do it :( but you gotta work with SysEx

:D

Oh... you could sequence it externaly :D

I want to buy some old laptop or palmtop just to use DOS sequencer :D

[betocuevass]

yo vendo igual uno en 3000 pesos mexicanos

[acidcasuals]

Nice work, I just bought one today - waiting for it to arrive!

[acidallstars]

wicked

[bluemanontelly]

just shows, if you take the time to learn even a simple machine properly you can get excellent results. Really impressive stuff you've got here.

[latinbala4sho]

I got a midi keyboard and I was wondering...Can you use the keyboard to play out the sounds across different notes? I'm new to midi

[d3p3ch3mod3]

you might be able to if you set the Midi in to "omni" for its channel or either they keyboard or electribe.... can't remember how it works but basicly yeah

[FreedomIsAJoke]

Are all the sounds all built in? Or do you have to put them in?

[syntheticregard]

it looks like that cat is doing some expert knob twiddling too!!!

[d3p3ch3mod3]

cats are all expert knob twiddlers

[grasshutz]

Er -1 are dope as hell! got mine. they have fat bass hits like a crack head. great production tool.

[Quadrange]

nice

[d3p3ch3mod3]

funny i've been working pretty hard trying to get my esx-1 to sound exactly like this

[StigmaNYC]

oh thats what it does ! Duh, hey can you tweek the kick knobs like a 909? turning a kick into a boom, know what i sayin ?

[candlegravity]

Yes full on you can.

[StigmaNYC]

cool my ER1 lands upstate on 8/27/08

cant wait

[traumatek]

this machine is worth every penny JUST FOR THE KICK, its insane. You can make all manner of wiggly noises with it too but its strong point is a wicked bass heavy kick. And its not just a bass throb, you can get the sweetest "click" kick with a chest pounding bass its just nuts. Youtube videos don't do it any kind of justice. And anyone that says its a cheap garbage box can happily miss out :)

[StigmaNYC]

you're right about the kick ! when i did research on the ER-1 before I bought ione I figured I would do some sound editing on Cool edit to help, not so. out of the box, on the right system, that kick hit me in the chest like an old school rave.

most of the videos up with my Korg's are to test the sound quality on youtube and online in gerneral. I'm closer to what I want. see KorgFu2u

[Ryanitis]

damn this comment just sold me even more.

whats the most you would pay for yours knowing now what it does.

how varied is the sound? anything 'real' i mean or is it all electronic

[traumatek]

I would probably spend 300 or 400 US on one. But I wouldnt expect many people to go as high.

As for the sound, its straight up analog drum sounds, with a very simple yet effective set of knobs to tweak the drum sounds to your liking. Basically, you choose one of two waveforms, then adjust the modulation, depth, speed and pitch. You can make anything from a deep kick to ringing metallic sounds... snappy analog snares and all manner of odd bleepy sounds.

[traumatek]

more...

Sadly, the rest of the machine is limited. Only effect is a global delay that can get REALLY obnoxious if abused. And it only has stereo out. Regardless, you can still do some pretty cool stuff with it.

If your dream is to be able to take your drum sounds and quickly mutate them into something different on the fly then this will keep you happy for a long time. Its a blast to use live.

[Ryanitis]

thank you and happy 'post' 420. after all the research i ended up just gettin one off amazon for $205. now i am waiting. i'm new to midi but thats the direction i want to go

[senhorlampada]

Still got your ER?

It's an amazing box! :D

use and abuse your audio-ins... And use external FX... and you're good to go! :)

[PaPyKoG]

nice rythms, u mite like ours...

[anstonian]

Brilliant. you are the master.

[faltbalg]

i thought you couldn't change patterns already programmed

"oN the fly" in a live session with the er-1 but it seems to work i this video..does it?

[bluemanontelly]

yep, you can change on the fly, but you can't save while it's playing so you lose the changes if you make any changes and then switch patterns mid-set

[HunFenil]

Great video!!!!!!

You are pushing the sound of the ER1 near

to its limits.

BigUp from Hungary!

[piesprerii]

sick! great beat! keep going :)

[Hemingrubbish]

some sweet sounds you got going there.

[monoglobe]

Yep, your own comment is pretty good on the er1, its a great drum machine and you show it well.

[KIKILOGIC]

a mi entender se te ve nervioso..animo

[lesingemonotone]

Neat. :)

[Fuckingbigfatwhale]

Love that beat. But the thing you did at the beginning of the last minute....don't do that again!

[harryehall]

rabbit on the radias lol

[smartlooper]

what that funny bunny behind ??? :-)))
