The New Electribes

[Olivander12]

So changing from 1 4bar pattern to another, providing the same insert FX are the same (possibly will be for he most part) then we'll be okay? But dramatic changes in FX could prove gappy.

Doesn't sound too devastating. Manageable.

This is how I understood it as well.

For example, you have reverb as a master fx, which is turned on for all 16 parts. In the next pattern, the master fx, which is applied to all parts as well, is a delay. If this is the case, there will be a gap.

This is exactly what I am seeing. You learn this rather quickly when you are performing with a Kaossiltor Pro and you use other Kaoss units like the Quad or the KP3 to effect your KO Pro.

Anyone heard any clues as to part editing ? Just wondering which parameters we get over drum one shots.
My fave knob on the esx was the start point, great for quick trimming of kicks but also for tons of other stuff. That one little parameter made the esx for me. I could keep a bank of 4 kicks in there all the time & always was able to make them sound different every time, something the emx never had.

I think there is the edit knob which changes pre-set values. In Mistabishi's presentation, it added distortion to a kick. I am afraid there won't be such a thing as "start/end/lenth" on the electribe.

It figures with the pcm sounds. Same on the emx1. We get pitch control though.

I think the amp envelope control will affect drum hits on the synth version and samples on the sampler one. Trim a bass drum down from a boom to a click, that sort of thing.

[Glitchcraft]

I use the ESX to crank the pitch way down on samples and sift through the sample for artifacts.

Going by your name and this part of your text- you may like the Bastl Instruments- have you seen them?

Yes my friend has one its cool. My favorite sampler that I have used/own is the Gotharman Lil Deformer 2 that thing is years beyond anything else. Its a granular synth too. Kind of like the Phonogene on steroids. The effects and delays on it are the best I have ever heard and you can use it to sequence and use tons of parameters to your modular. Then you can run CV into it to every parameter in the box it's a seriously powerful machine like no other. Still use my ESX though...

Korg UK have just tweeted me back with...

"we r aiming for mid Dec release for Electribe"

They said mid December for Volca Sample too.

I agree, & on the new synth vers' since we can allocate any sound to any part now it would make sense. Nice to think there's some edit values to to be had on drum parts. I still say though that the start point knob on the esx1 is a winner for quick edits. You can trim the sample from the front-backward & it bailed me out of many harsh sounding samples, i could get that click or thump easily with that pot & some filtering. I'd love to see that same parameter on the synth model or at least a similar take on it. Perhaps ot will be hidden in one of the shift functions....Perhaps.

[robosardine]

I was hoping for an on screen wave editor on the new sampler for trimming-It does not look likely though?..... but surely they would at least have thought about it- I wonder how the trimming will be done.

[roblabs]

I'm sure Korg has thought about that, especially considering what other companies like Traktor are doing. Still, just because they've thought of the possibility and it'd be a great idea doesn't mean they'll use it. Its more likely they'll save it for the next product in line = $$$

That's why Electribe Sampler is delayed...Soundtower hasn't put enough bugs into the editor yet.

It's japanese but as seen in another forum google translator works guite well. OSC, modulation, fx, filter and patternlist at the end.

Things I learned from JP PDF:

You can store a total of 100 event recordings.

Voices modes are Mono 1, Mono 2, Poly 1, Poly 2. The 2 versions differentiate envelope retriggering behavior (single/legato vs multi). Poly modes are both 4-voice paraphonic - retriggering EGs, etc.

Drum PCMs look like a healthy serving of styles, all tunable. There are more claps than the EMX, but crash cymbal enthusiasts will still find the options lacking. (those long decays eat up PCM time I guess.)

15 vocal samples, useful to people who make factory demos and not too many others. There is a "doh" - we'll see if it's a d'oh. There's also a Vox pad, and Vox strings - mellotron samples from Microkorg XL range?

Audio In is an oscillator source - looks like it will run through the synth engine and not just the effects. Nice!

Ton of modulation templates - enough to cover most needs I'd bet.

17 Filters (if you count "off" as a filter type:
Off
Electribe 24db Low, High, Bandpass
MS-20 Low, High, Bandpass
Moog Lowpass (only 1 flavor of this filter is listed)
Prophet 5 Low, High, Bandpass
Oberheim Low, High, Bandpass
TB-303 Low, High, Bandpass

Swing goes from negative 50 to positive 50

Nice work, thanks for that.
