Unless they hired some super amazing programmers or a new hardware revision the ES2 will suck as much as the E2, maybe even more since you loose the filters and oscillators.
Such a pity Korg isn't fixing any issues and letting early adapters sit and wait hoping they one day get a device that works as it should. I've seen prices drop and still no proper communication from Korg. It;s also sad people are defending Korg.
As if Korg can not test a device properly before releasing it. When you take this kind of crap from companies they will do it again next time. Just be sure you don't become a beta tester or buy the next Korg paperweight. |

Thats wrong. Finished event recordings are playback only -- without any interaction. Beside of turning the main volume knob  |
u can mute, chance osc, modulate ext...in event playback, u just cant record them over. |

Thanks for that info. I haven't been able to test one out in person, so I've been reluctant to purchase one without some solid facts about what the Event Recorder can or can't do. There's been little info about it and no review has really gone into the details.
Not being to re-record the Event playback file is fine for me, I just need to be able to use it to record a long chain of patterns and still be able to manually tweak the sounds using the front panel knobs live when I play back the Event file later on. It's what I used to do with my MC-505, but it's currently needing repairs.
If someone else whom actually owns the unit is reading this and can confirm this is true, that would be great.

Looks to me like you can
Change oscillators
Play with the filter
Play with Modulation section and amp eg section
Play with effects although this seems a bit buggy, working on some parts and not others.
Trigger parts and play with the keyboard
You can't
Mute
Erase
Sequence
Step jump
For me it doesn't offer enough control for live work, but that's just my workflow.

Well, that's somewhat of a relief. Thanks for testing some of that. I don't know why some of the other people here are trying to say otherwise. 
Yeah, I figured some of the sequencer functions couldn't be used while playing back the Event files. The manual vaguely hints at this, but doesn't go into anything specific. I perform music similar to how Kraftwerk functions live now, basically just vocals and simple keyboard parts while doing sound tweaking on pre-sequenced patterns of music, so it's good to know that all the front panel knobs will still be usable when playing back the file.
Thanks again!

I think Korg needs to REALLY update the manual in regards to this function (event recorder)

Should have stopped that sentence after the word Manual....
Or maybe referred to it as user leaflet!!?
