Recycology is such a boomer. He wanted me to let everyone know that.

strange how taste work : the EMX is so pretty into its blue dress ! the most beautiful !

the EMX-1 deserved way more love, greatest machine i ever owned

Great video. I was on tour in 2001 and came across the ER-1 in a music store in Portland. I drove everyone nuts for the rest of the tour. I think I may have to find another one. Terrific explanation of the machines- I hope #Korg kicks you something!

Thanks for the history on these 😎👍

Nice video. I've used the X series Electribes for years. Solid.

I own a 2004´Electribe ESX-1 and this unit is very cool to create new stuff with own samples. 2 years ago I purchased the Electribe Wave for my iPad - this is cool too 👍

Awesome video, I’ve done a bunch with electribe!

I think Yamaha Dx200 / An200 / Su200 deserve an honorable mention. I had MC303/505 (now I own its keyboard version JX305) and used all the Electribes products but still use DX200 + EA1 + ER1 to this day What I like about EA1 - Instantly sequence two mono step sequences into outboard or daw. It’s especially great for auditioning patches on Virus TI or other Va ER1: Instantly sequence drum patterns. It’s especially great to record drum outboard into RM1x or instant drum XOX patterns into DAW. I enjoy sequencing drum parts into mothfXF using ER1 sequencer. dX200 - I live mangling DX / FM sound modulation, really cool op/carrier combinations with envelope / LFO modulation. great 1 bar sequencing with realtime step rate/recerse/ cut-time/ double-time on both baseline/synth part and drums. I live recording midi performance with the realtime midi effects / cut/double time/ retiring /drum roll forward backwards effect into 32+ bars into daw or outboard. An200: same as above but with live va engine sound Sp202 and su200: great ~30 second sampling and loops with lofi built in effects. Great for making great lofi tones and loops

Thank you for the information ! !

Loved your video! I just bought a EMX for 475 cad and am having tons of fun on it!

I really liked the EA-1. It's best feature was using the audio in as a midi clocked audio gate. I used to play distorted guitar power chords thru it for Shamen Move Any Mountain style riffs.

I watched this all the way through waiting for you to get to MY model of Electribe EMX 1, and you said it was ugly : ( I'm going to cry in the corner

to this day since 1990's i can help but have an electribe in my set up. it just dos'nt feel right without one

whipped out my EA-1 and it's a ton of fun, because of the limitations but also because of it's hands-on ease of use. I also have the EMX, which is a beast, and just thinking about it makes me smile, though I am criminally not using it enough. I did get the volca FM because I wanted an FM synth, and it serves it's purpose, but yeah, the volcas are no electribes, I don't think they were intended to be that. Was (still am) on the fence about getting a new electribe blue, since it's polyphonic and it base sound design pretty good, but arguably lacks the charm and workflow of the original things.. It would be more from a collection perspective anyway. I do see a comment about the Elektron model:samples - I have the model:cycles and concur, these devices are VERY electribe-ey. In the end, as far as grooveboxes go, I think the EM-1 hit the nail on the head MOST in terms of value for budget back in the day and that original workflow just can't be beat.

great overview, thanks! EMX blue was a blast for me, still love it.

I totally enjoyed that. I loved the original electribe series. They where all so well designed and very playable, We had such high hopes for the E2 but it was a huge let down. In comparison to the originals, the E2's are a downgrade. Then Korg continued to dropped the ball when they released the Volcas. It felt like a slap in the face to the dedicated electribe users, We needed an upgrade not cheap toys.

Heh, good video. I wanted to know the differences between these various Electribes and this was perfect.

What korg added on the emx/esx are actual tubes, but maybe it's only worth mentioning when you make gabba or hardtek

literally needed a video explaining the difference of each ones ‼️‼️‼️

I have an ER1 which I still use. The EA1 is a killer piece of kit as well. Great vid !

The ER-1 is my first machine - bought it second-hand around 2004, and always stuck to it. Solid as heck too.

EM-1 and ES-1

Ha! My old EA-1 in the thumbnail.

model samples is like an es1 on bath salts it is what the electribe 2 should of been.

My favorite ones are the EM-1 and the ES-1. The EM-1 is my baby. Man that machine was my first ever beat machine ever and I absolutely love it so much!!! ❤ I love the presets on that machine so much as well!!!!

Korg, bring back the e-m1 tribe with modern updates. That was the best one they made. :)

Iv used them a few times but never owned one my friend has one I might see if he's selling it .. I was gonna buy the newest one that samples but was not sure if it chopped samples or if it was only for one shots so or loops so I got the novation circuit rhythm instead I still plan on getting the electribe two..but I think the MPC is the way to go

I’m sorry but I hate the modern electribe sampler sounds dead and it has a clunky work flow, at least the old esx has an amazing tube boost love the sound

The EA 1 is the most underrated piece of kit ever! Thx

I guess they tried to make esx and emx to look more "metal" in the heydays of indie music. Didn't age too well. Still very capable and fun devices

I have an em1 and an emx still jamming with a roland sp808 250 ex. ....

I miss my ESX it was fun to work with.

That was interesting (I dated a drummer for 11 years).. 'I don't want to make music, I just want to make cute little noises..'.. 😋

Esx is basically the green and red one combined and emx is blue and black one

Heads up, its MARK 2/3 3ct, not MACH (or mak, mack ect)

Yamaha's "walkstations" were released before Roland's "grooveboxes".

Ha I have that avenue d record and an es1... never put it together that’s where the sample was from

10:30 mark. I’m listening to this in my car.

I had a choice between a Roland mc-303 and a Korg er-1 at the music store back in 2000. Unfortunately I chose the mc-303.

2:58 ahahahaha good fuckn video dude

great info. i own an er 1 , vocla drum, and a vocla fm. Volcas are great concepts but the execution makes it counter intuitive. Musicians need quarter inch outputs. LOL. ER 1 is a workhorse for sure.

Lol this guy sounds drunk and high at the same time

EA-1

hate the emx looks too. people actually like the way it looks.b

dude you fucked up at emx, one of the best looking boxes ever, i turned off shortly after. No sound examples. Poor
