Hi folks, Ive bought another synth and in accordance with Mrs Baronrouges one in one out policy the Electribe has to go. Its in great condition having sat on a stand in my smoke and pet free home, under a dust sheet when not in use and comes with not only the Decksaver hard cover (get one for all your gear!) but my own handcrafted custom label job which makes navigating the many settings SOOO much easier. They are just little sticky labels so if you dont like them they peel off with no residue but Id definitely recommend keeping them on there. There are a couple of places where a little bit of paint has flaked off in one corner, I’ve highlighted this in one of the photos, apart from this its a good as new. You probably know what youre looking at so I wont outline all of the many features but Ill paste some blurb below. In addition to all the built in sounds and samples Ive been using it to sequence external gear, sample audio for mangling, time-shifting and general wizardry, and for using as an effects processor. It really is like a little Ableton in a box, and not a mouse or keyboard in sight! Ive bought a Beatstep Pro, a Keystep and an SP-404A which together can achieve some of what this guy does but of course thats not to mention all the sounds, and the smooth time stretching. Come to think of it, why am I selling this again? See above. Anyway it comes in the original box with power supply, MIDI adapters and a license for Ableton Live Lite etc and will be well packaged and shipped within a day of you winning it. Ill send tracked and signed for Collect+ on the Economy service which seems to take around 3 or 4 days and my experience the 2 day service isnt any quicker. Let me know if youre in a particular hurry and I can upgrade for a couple of pounds.
Any questions give me shout, happy bidding! https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/korg-electribe-sampler
System Version 2
The Electribe is given an ubgraded system that adds support for a pattern chain function and undo function, providing a great asset for live performances. Along with a system update, Korg has also provided over 200 new bonus patterns that work with a variety of musical styles.
Step Sequencer
The unit has 16 pads placed on the front of the unit which let you create patterns intuitively whilst actually hearing and seeing the sounds. Use the pads as a keyboard to record phrases in realtime and perform step recording by entering the pitch and rhythmic value one note at a time. The patterns you create can be used in alternate forms as you perform by taking advantage of the “step jump” feature inherited from the volca series, or by changing the “last step” to vary the length of each part. There’s also a “motion sequence” function that lets you record knob and button operations and use them in the pattern that you create. Either drums or synths can now be assigned to each of the 16 pads. For example you could create complex rhythms by assigning drums to all of the 16 parts.
Intuitive Beat-Making
The “touch scale” function lets anyone perform without wrong notes, just by moving a finger across the touch pad. The trigger pads make it easy for anyone to create phrases intuitively and can also be used for drum input. Settings allow you to switch velocity on/off.
The internal memory lets you save 250 patterns, including preset patterns which are perfect for today’s dance music scene. There’s also support for the polyphonic playback that’s indispensable for styles that include complex chord progressions, such as House music.
Hybrid Synth Engine
In addition to a sampler sound engine that lets you use your own unique and original samples, there are also several types of analog modelling sound engines that are great for creating synth basses and pad sounds. There can be up to a total of 999 preset and user samples and a maximum of 270 seconds of sampling time (calculated as monaural) can be used. The unit is shipped with numerous drum, rhythm/phrase loops, and hit samples (collaborations with Sample Magic, Loopmasters, Prime Loops) included.
Advanced Use of Samples
The “Time Slice” function detects attacks within the phrase and slices it appropriately, allowing you to play the phrase at the desired tempo without significantly affecting the sound. Sounds within a sliced part can also be used separately by assigning them to steps or parts. You can even apply an effect to a sample and then resample it while using the knobs to vary the pitch or modulation.
Effects and Groove
The Korg Electribe Sampler provides effects such as compression and overdrive for each part, giving you uncompromising control over the nuances of individual sounds that differ subtly between genres. The groove function can be specified for each part, letting you apply a groove to your phrase simply by selecting a template.
Live Performance
The master effects of the Korg Electribe Sampler can be controlled from the touch pad, and they include not only spatial-type effects that shape the overall acoustics but they also include effects that apply aggressively musical transformations such as the “Vinyl Break” effect inherited from the Kaoss pad series, and the newly developed “Seq Reverse” and “Odd Stepper” that change the playback order of the sequencer. These are extremely effective for live performance. Insert effects can be assigned for individual parts, opening up even more complex sound-design possibilities.
Ableton Live
KORG has collaborated with Ableton to offer a new music production workflow that combines the best of hardware and software. The Electribe Sampler can internally save and export patterns in Ableton Live format. Individual patterns and parts are saved as scenes and clips in an Ableton Live Set. Use Live’s powerful Session and Arrangement workflows to edit and refine your ideas, perform or record new parts, arrange your ideas, and mix your song.
