The Korg Electribe ER-1
When you’re laying down your next big groove, you need the phattest, most aggressive analog synth sounds possible. You need to call on the ‘Tribe. Korg’s new Electribe series uses the ultimate in analog modelling to give you the richest, most versatile analog-style sounds out there. And with unlimited realtime control of every sound parameter, you know your sound will be just that — yours.
Program your own custom analog-style beat sounds by tweaking the Electribe ER-1’s knobsTailor your own four percussion synthesizer parts, play in two audio inputs, or use the Electribe ER-1’s four PCM cymbal/hi-hat soundsInput two external audio sources and use the Electribe ER-1’s synth parameters to process the soundInput sequences into the Electribe ER-1 and hear your results in realtime as you play the stepsRecord Oscillator, amp or effect parameter knob movements in realtime using the “Motion sequence” functionStore a total of 256 (64 x 4 banks) phrases or other patterns plus 16 songs consisting of multiple patterns, so all your beats are with youSync the Electribe ER-1 to other MIDI devices using tap tempo or MIDI clock, or tap in the beat and sync to a turntable or other non-MIDI sound sourcesComes with Low boost and delay effectsControl the Electribe ER-1 from an external sequencer or keyboard and it becomes a MIDI expansion tone generatorWith over 35 years of rhythm programming expertise, Korg has created the ultimate analog beat machine. Simply by tweaking the knobs on the Electribe ER-1, you have unlimited control over all the elements that make up the sounds – like pitch, modulation depth, waveform shape and much more. Drop these sounds into the built-in sequencer and you’ve got unique rhythms with your own creative signature. And with the Electribe ER-1, you can hear every change you make as it happens, allowing you to mold the groove on the fly
Create powerful analog beats
The approach to sound is what sets the Electribe ER-1 apart from all other drum machines and groove boxes around. It gets its power from four of the analog modelling tone generators featured on Korg’s Prophecy and Z1, two synths that are highly acclaimed for their analog sounds. It’s like having four modelling synths in one unit, so you can create four completely different kinds of rhythm sounds and use them simultaneously for the ultimate in tonal flexibility. In addition, the Electribe ER-1 has four PCM sounds – crash, open hi-hat, closed hi-hat and clap – that you can use for every beat as needed.
The revival of the audio input
With the resurrection of the analog input function found on Korg’s classic MS-20 analog patching synth, you can plug in two additional external signals and use them as audio sources. You can gate the sound from the external inputs to play in sync with the timing of the rhythms you create. And, you can even tweak these sounds with some of the Electribe ER-1’s knobs to create experimental rhythm patterns never before heard.
Step and Realtime input
The built-in step sequencer’s 16 pad keys make it easy for you to produce rhythms from the sounds you create. Each pad keys lights up so you can easily see what rhythm a part is programmed to play. Plus, you can play in beats in real-time using the 12 trigger pads. Four of the pads are assignable to any analog modelling sound you come up with, two are reserved for controlling sounds accessed through the audio input, and the other four permanently control the indispensable PCM sounds. So you can tailor your own custom “kits” to fit each musical situation.
Motion Sequence remembers know movements
To add even more life to your patterns you can record the realtime movement of any of the Electribe ER-1’s oscillator, amp or effect parameters as a Motion Sequence. This lets you change your sounds as your groove progresses in a way that more traditional drum machines just can’t match! Plus, every sound or rhythm you create can be stored as a pattern that includes your knob movements. And you can save up to 256 1 to 4-bar patterns in internal memory.
External control
The Electribe ER-1 can also be controlled from an external sequencer, keyboard, or sampler to function as an analog sound rhythm tone generator, or set up to control or be controlled by other hardware or computer-based sequencers.
