Very Quick Made Beat - DJ Defo on Electribe ES1

[martin984]

I'm looking into the es1 and like it, but i've been trying to figure out - can you load a single sample of let's say C and have a scale made of it - c#,d,d#, e, f, etc.? Something like the multi-pitch function in the SP1200. Or do you have to resample each sample into the respective tones of the scale and write it so you can record some melodies in real time?

Thanks!

@martin984 well you actually can, but i assure you it's a quite tedious way to use this machine as a melodic sequencer since the pitch knob it's not precise when it comes to tune a sample... but you can assign a MIDI note to each of the 11 parts (9 sample parts plus one audio in and one "time slice" part) and set the various steps to drive an external sound module that will play the desired notes :)

Exellent!! : ) What is the name of the song you sampled??

[defosfiga]

@GoonieFan: i have to ask my gilfriend, that's actually the soundtrack of a japanese movie, i don't remember the title right now

[GoonieFan]

@defosfiga Its cool mate, was just curious thats all : )

[defosfiga]

@GoonieFan: title is "kikujiro's summer" or something similar :)

[GoonieFan]

@defosfiga Thats great, Thank you!

a stronger snare would be nicer but i quite enjoyed the beat , it's really well made.

good work on the ES-1 !

[GoonieFan]

This is exellent!!! Sound great. I just got one of these the other day and its really cool, but loading the smart card to get samples on has got me stumped, so i've just been recording em straight in

Boring

[defosfiga]

il gruppo è di venezia? son curioso di sentire.. dai che sta scena ha bisogno di una rinfrescata vista la fece che gira.. buona

[caldalamandorla]

niente.. fighi anke i tuoi lavori sullo space... e un po di drum? bella

[defosfiga]

ci lavoro sempre un po' a rilento ultimamente, un po' perchè vivo 5 giorni a venezia e 2 a gorizia e un po' perchè sto producendo un album hip hop con la mia crew, la Reazione Allergica... cmq pubblicherò qualcosa appena avremo registrato un po' di tracce hip hop...

[caldalamandorla]

bravo. finalmente uno serio

[defosfiga]

@caldalamandorla: grazie del commento, non ne ricevo molti... e ogni tanto pure negativi! :)

Nice! I just bought one these and this is one of the better step-by-step demonstrations I've seen. Thanks!

[defosfiga]

@wolveshawksandkites: i can give you some tricks and tips if you need some.. i.e. some ways to load samples from pc and convert them the right way to save a lot of memory

[wolveshawksandkites]

That would be very helpful! I have no idea how to use this wonderful box, but I'm eager to learn!

doppeeee.. i think a different snare might make it sound even doper..but sick nonetheless
