Hey guys, I have not found any topic about the freshly anounced new Electribes yet, so I started this. I am sooo happy that Korg announced those great looking new devices, its simply brilliant. I hope they dont screw it up.

Here http://www.korg.com/us/products/dj/electribe/ are all information avaiable at that time.

What are you thinking? What do you expect the pricing to be like? I mean, the only drawback of the EMX were the samples and the lack of polyphony, and now we have all these things. I am so excited.

Looking at the back panel, what's with the non-standard MIDI ports!?

Looke like it might need a special cable or converters.

That will be painful if for some reason (loss or breakage), you can't get hold of one at a gig.

still would have been better to just use standard midi, even if it meant a higher price for a larger board. What if you lose the adapter? I don't even think they sell these things.

Besides that, my other gripe is the sequencer - I wish it was the traditional horizontal row instead of separating it into two. But there may be a reason behind it. I just hope it isn't another space saving decision.

Other than that, I'd like some more info on this before making up my mind as to whether or not I want one.

Well done Korg!
Just seen the prices as I was trawling the net for more info....£329 UK & $400 USA!
Just a tad less than I would have guessed.. looking good!

This news has grabbed my attention. I sold all the tribes i had & i figured they would never give us a new one. I always loved my esx1 but the HISS ! from those tubes or outputs drove me bonkers...... Just when i've spent all my cash too, the irony of it ! Still, i'll check these out for future reference, could be a window back into beat making for me. Cool

I've been told November in the US is the expected date, but something could always go wrong with that.

The new electribe uses the engine from the king korg, as a KK owner, the synth sounds as a whole should be better several times over.
