This is the first tune I've written on a 'groovebox' in a long, long time. I recently got a Korg EMX-1, and have been having loads of fun writing using nothing but hardware again for a change. While I did some arranging in Live 7, everything else is straight from the EMX with no additional sequencing or processing (efx, EQ, etc). Anyway, enjoy the downtempo:

Thanks, I have to say I was really surprised at the quality of the drums in the EMX. They hold their own quite well, even considering it's been out some time now. Too bad you can't run them through the filter section though Sad

wow! I like. That sitar sound is unusual. I haven't heard on any other emx songs posted. The open hat sound is nice too. Most of the other emx songs i've checked out, I didn't like the hat sounds at all. Congas sound good too.

I'm impressed.

But then I'd lose the synth parts in the process, no? Since the synth parts would be taken up with the drums then?

PS: I think you have to upload that track to the elektron forum as well (they ussually avoid the electribes as the plague... Wink

...I have both tribes and elektron boxes and I really happy with all of them...no conflicts at all, just music and fun

My JJ EC83s's arrived yesterday actually. I plan on swapping them in tonight, and recording some before and after examples in case any one I'd curious about the difference it makes.

u made it in song mode right?

Tarekith · Posted: Tue May 20, 2008 2:44 pm Post subject:

No, it's just a pattern, which I arranged in Ableton Live. I create the pattern first as if I was going to play it live, so it's more or less completely finished except for the song structure. I record 8 bar loops for the drums into Live, while the synths are done more or less in one pass as I tweak the parameters to give it more variety.
