Korg Electribe ESX-1 Music Production Sampler & Groove Box description:
The Korg ELECTRIBE*SX represents a new
generation of Electribes - powerful dance music products that cover
everything from laying down stunning tracks to creating exhilarating
live performances.
The ELECTRIBE SX comes housed in a sleek,
rugged metal chassis. The new backlit LCD provides a wealth of
information during programming or performance.
The intuitive step-time/realtime interface has been enhanced
with a new Ribbon and Slider control. Effects, Motion Sequencing, and
Pattern length have all been expanded. A brand-new filter lets you
chose Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass or Band Pass Plus.
Up to 256 patterns can be created and stored to the internal
memory.
You can combine patterns, add mute data and knob movements to create up
to 64 songs. To get you started, a wide assortment of patterns covering
house, hip-hop, R&B, electronica,
drum’n’bass, techno, trance and more come preloaded
– 128 in the ELECTRIBE•SX. Using
the last step function, you can easily adjust to any odd meter.
Favorite patterns can be assigned to Pattern Sets for instant access.
Data can be quickly saved and loaded via SmartMedia.
Audio inputs allow you to process external signals through the
on-board filter and effects, and an extra pair of assignable outputs
has been added as well. The front panel knobs and switches control all
the most important sound parameters, allowing you to modify the sound
in realtime as you perform, and giving you a hands-on feel like that of
an analog synthesizer.
The ELECTRIBE•SX lets you use a
variety of
approaches to creating songs, elevating it beyond just a sampler and
rhythm module into a comprehensive tool for music production.
Using sample based sound creation, the ELECTRIBE•SX
can generate a total of 16 parts that can be used for building
patterns. Nine parts are set up to play as
“one-shot” samples, or Drum Parts. Two additional
Keyboard Parts allow samples to be played melodically at various
pitches right from the step keys or a MIDI input. Sampled loops can be
assigned to the Stretch Parts. As Stretch Parts, their tempos can be
adjusted without affecting their pitch. This allows two sample Loops
recorded at different tempos to be played back at the same in sync.
Phrase samples can also be “Sliced,” or divided up
at the rhythmic peaks of the sample. Once sliced, individual samples
can be muted to generate new grooves. Pitch, filter and effect settings
can be applied to the individual sliced samples (or Motion Sequenced)
to transform the original phrase into something unique. Two Accent
parts introduce added dynamics. Reverse and Roll commands can be used
to quickly generate complex sounding patterns. Additional Sample edit
commands include Normalize, Truncate and Start Point.
A generous 285 seconds of memory (at 44.1kHz) can be used to create up
to 384 of your own samples. The ELECTRIBE•SX
includes a wide variety of preloaded samples – 196 in all
– so that you can start producing dance music immediately.
Samples (.WAV/AIFF format) can be imported and exported via SmartMedia.
Valve Force circuitry contains two vacuum tubes that add new
power to your sound. The analog tube circuit adds a warmth and presence
to your sound that cannot be duplicated digitally. The tube gain knob
adjusts the level of the output signal passing through the vacuum
tubes, creating dynamic sounds with the distinctive tonal quality that
only tubes deliver.
The highly acclaimed Electribe effects have been enhanced to provide
three multi-effect units available for simultaneous use. Each part can
be independently routed to any of the three effects processors, and you
can even use the Chain function to link multiple effects in series,
opening up further sonic possibilities. Each processor offers 16 effect
types ranging from traditional reverb, delay, flanger and chorus, as
well as more modern offerings including tempo-based delay, talking
modulator, grain shifter, decimator and more. The edits you make to
each of the effects processors are saved with each pattern.
