New Electribe...New Product.

Post by HencheMann »

I think the concept has one more breath left. Must have: Metal chassis, Kaoss effects, USB, Assignablity, True Polyphony...and ditch the damn tubes!

...maybe would be cooler as just a stripped down, bare knuckled synth.

Please, stop with all the presets and song templates.

I like the toobz! They're fun to look at, even if they take valuable real estate. I also like cranking them way up from time to time.

What???

The tubes are an important part of the machine IMO.

i guess you are joking, those crappy tube are only there for bad distortion, starving at 12-15 volts unlike real tubes that needs WAY more than that to sound cool, plu sthay take real estate and generate abusive heath, please ditch those useless tubes korg (4 years with my ESX, i NEVER turned that knob after the initial test

Nothing wrong with distortion depending on the music style, but I replaced my tubes with JJ's and they are smoooove.

so... that would be the RADIAS then. :roll:



some have claimed they're very similar machines... I have one (and no electribe, although i'm looking for one). I just wish it had pattern sequencing like the electribes - instead each program is stuck with its own seq pattern.

I'm glad NAMM starts tommorow, then this topic can either be put to rest or everyone can stop arguing over stuff :P

Seriously though, If a new one is announced, I reckon:

Kaoss effects (Maybe built in pad?!), USB connectivity, sampling built in (So only one unit) and maybe a vocoder?!?!
