Have you tried rubbing the copper portion of the SM card with a cloth? I've noticed from time to time that fingerprint smudges and dust can collect on the surface of the copper part of the card, thus causing the card to become unreadable/inoperable. Giving it a good clean 9 times out of 10 ...

So 'song mode' got axed? Hmm. Kind of disappointing to be truthful. Yes, it is. But to be fair, Song mode just put patterns into an order. Nothing more, nothing less. It didn't save mute/solo or anything else. I have to disagree with the bolded statement. The ESX and EMX are totally capable of ...

Agreed - but thats on a 2000XL - 10 years ago.... MPC1000 with JJOS-2 can do all of the above. The effects are now included and yes they can be very much automated. You can assign the sliders to control - pitch ,filter sweeps, LFO. You can stick a 120 gig hard drive in, load up whole chromatically ...

i have an MPC1000, 2000XL, ESX-1 and an SP404 Everything your describing you want to do you can do on an MPC very very easily - its the hip hop machine. Sounds to me you want a reason not to get an MPC. The MPC is built for sampling,slicing and playing chops. The MPC sequencer is rock solid. Its ...

Actually the ESX is more than 'enough' for whats required to do your typical hiphop production with. I have the MPC 2k and have toyed around a bit with the 1000 and the 500. And I have to say that the ESX allows for way more experimentation with the actual sounds (sound design) and its a beat makers ...

Actually on the first ES-1 the 'wah' effect is replaced on the MK2 model with a 'modulated delay' effect instead. Other than that and the metal casing. Those are the only differences between the two.

I remember that preset and remember going "what the hell"!?!?
It could have something to do with the BPM (which affects the roll) and the Time signature used for that pattern that it's on.
Not sure though.....

I use Electribe ES-1 to make hip hop tracks. I created remake of Pete Rock beat, Big Daddy Kane beat, etc. with Electribe ES-1. I sample my vinyls with my laptop, loosely chop the samples, and transfer the WAV samples via xd card and xd card / smartmedia card adapter. http://www.youtube.com ...

Thats a good idea

You know I actually played around with the stock presets for about 2 weeks before wiping the entire memory and saving everything to a 32MB card, and loading my own sounds. In all honesty though their are some decent sounds amongst the stock presets..a few of the rim shots and a few of the single ...

Thanks for listening!

What is the bandwidth of the BPF???

I was just pondering this very same question the other day

Just curious. But I thought that 1 "full" ESX file takes up 24 MB's of room. Atleast that's what the manual says.

Just checking!

You know what, I've noticed the same thing. Although that said, I've also noticed that if you push the slider (or the ribbon if in reverse mode) towards the higher pitched notes you'll hear the minor differences between the scales. Otherwise yeah their doesnt appear to be any noticeable differences ...
