KORG ES-1 MK2 SAMPLER / SEQUENCER / GROOVEBOX
Classic Korg sampler and sequencer from the Electribe series
This unit is in perfect working condition from what I can tell. I bought it from a reputable ebay store in Japan, which assured me it was in perfect condition. I haven’t used it as much as I intended to (it’s been stored away from dust), but I had a good go on it last night and everything worked exactly as it should have
Cosmetically it looks great and almost perfect – just a few tiny marks, as pictured
Includes an 8mb SmartMedia card, but no power adapter. These can be bought cheap
No original box, but will be packaged carefully in the (perfectly good) box it was shipped to me in from Japan
Old school vibe. Very easy, fun and satisfying to use. Nice crunchy flavour to the sample quality and fx. Very good swing. Can also be used to sequence other hardware I understand
Some good videos demonstrating it. First one in particular will give a good understanding of it:

According to vintagesynth, it was used by Nine Inch Nails, The Crystal Method, A Guy Called Gerald, Mouse On Mars, Dead Silence, Praxis, The Prodigy, Crystal Distortion, Freddy Fresh, and the Chemical Brothers. I’ve also seen that Thomas Melchior has the mk1 still knocking around his studio – https://mixmag.net/feature/thomas-melchior-invites-us-into-his-studio
I’m really torn about letting this one go, but it isn’t what I need right now
