    I love this thing, it's an underrated gem! I have both MK1 and MK2, they are quite different in sound! For the MK2 I think Korg wanted to get rid of the aliasing in MK1 and it sounds too "perfect". In fact I prefer the aliased sound of the MK1

    I had one back in the early 2000's. Was a little fun box with really unusual sounds. My only con was the quality of the knobs. They always felt extremely wobbly...
    But I loved that unit.

    • @midierror
      @midierror Месяц назад

      They are wobbly but they still do the trick - sometimes changing them back to original setting is a bit of a fiddle... but otherwise they operate as new!

    I’m on my third one upgraded with Electribe Shaman firmware which makes knobs transmit CCs. Absolute killer sequencer for Atlas 2. I use the Ring Mod button to enable hot swapping of samples. Super fast way to build beats with the versatility of multiple outs in the daw. I have a TR-8S too, but this one is faster to use and I’m keeping it!

    I have owned the Electribe2 for about 7 years, it is a wonderful groove box full of high quality samples that can be manipulated to precisely fit a composition of any genre. I would ask Korg on your next new design of the Electribe to add to the cost and offer at least 4 outputs of high quality DACs and preamps to make this great little instrument professional usable. Without post processing from multiple outputs I can't use all the features, just the stereo output of maybe the high hats and snare, can't run the full kit and 16 parts using the low quality internal effects.

    • @sonicstate
      @sonicstate  Месяц назад

      Yeah... multiple outputs is always better. It is possible to mod some drum machines to achieve this (eg. TR-505) but we've not seen it done on the ER-1

      Thanks for the fascinating lesson about political correctness 😄
      I have no problem with any gender or any personal taste of anyone. It does distract me when gender coercion is being pushed into my face on a 61-key keyboard. I watch people play, their sexual preferences taste doesn't interest me and I prefer not to be informed about it in a an explicit and deliberate way. Thats all.
