 |

I can't believe that the new electribe sampler only has a maximum of 270 seconds of sampling time in mono.
Surely the new sampling Electribe for 2015 should have more sample memory capacity than the previous model?

Seriously?! 15 seconds?...This new Electribe Sampler allows you to use any of the 16 parts any way you want...either for beat parts, sample parts, slice parts or as keyboard parts ...a features of choice that was never allowed in the ESX and someone is complaining about a sample memory loss of 15 seconds? WOW!!!!!!

Sure, everything else about the new Electribes look great to me. Still, to me there's no excuse not to have increased the sampling time significantly with the new Electribe sampler being released in 2015. I just don't see why that aspect has to stay limited and many others would have expected a much larger sampling capacity.

| Yeah, that is a strange move from Korg. It might be a deal breaker for me. |

The fact that it has even less sample memory than the older model from a decade ago just doesn't make sense to me. It's not about the difference of 15 seconds. I just don't see why that aspect has to stay limited and many others would have expected a much larger sampling capacity. Even worse, the new electribe sampler runs at 48khz so it will actually eat up memory quicker than the ESX which is at 44.1khz. |
270 seconds is 270 seconds. If the samplerate was 96KHz and they said you got 270 seconds it would still be 270 seconds. So perhaps the memory size is actually the same and this is where the missing 15 seconds went? |

| A new Electribe sampler from Korg in 2015 should have had increased sampling capacity. |

| Yes- I was hoping for much longer as well- in order that phrase samples could also be incorporated- the now elderly boss sp 505 had one hour high quality sampling time. An MPC is what- half an hour? |

12bit and mono too. |
But Machinedrum never pretended to be a "sampler". It's meant to be a drum machine mainly with sample import being merely an afterthought. |

Geez, a bunch of math wizards here.
44/48 = 11/12 = 0.914
270/285 = 18/19 = 0.94
I'm sure it's just the difference in sample rates, the actual RAM size is probably identical.
Yes, there's not more RAM but there's not less, either.

I need at least 24 hours of sample time at 24 bit/192khz to be creative. Anything less is a limitation, and I can't sleep knowing I'm being held back from my full potential.
Korg is hoarding RAM. The only question is: when do we storm the HQ and demand the fruits of Moore's Law? |

| I really hope you can stream samples from the card like the Octatrack and SP404. And yes it is a shame they did not upgrade the memory. |

It is a bit wierd. I mean my almost 10 year old MPC1000 has 128mb ram. I constantly used to run out of space on my ESX1. I could really do with say 5 times more memory. Maybe a paid upgrade option for the ESX2?

One thing they actually could do is allow you to upgrade the sampling RAM yourself with a DIMM card. The Roland MC-909 and MC-808 both had this option. When I had the MC-808, it only came with a measly 4MB of sampling RAM, but you could swap out the DIMM card to expand it up to 516MB.
