General
The Electribe MX, a high-quality workstation/sampler for music producers and DJs, was first introduced in 2003. The successor of that fantastic piece of gear is the Electribe 2 Music Production Station, an equally high-grade device that is not just great for beginners, but will also delight more experienced sampler and sequencer users.
Korg Electribe 2
The redesigned Electribe boasts a number of technological features that have been derived from other Korg products, such as the KingKORG, the kaossilator, the kaoss pad and the taktile. Equipped with 200 preset patterns, it's a great device for exploring music genres like house, techno and the like. A high-grade synth engine enables you to creatively manipulate and generate sounds, and there are over 409 oscillator waveforms available, using technology like analogue modelling and PCM. The analogue modelling synth engine allows you to choose from a wide range of basic to more complex waveforms, such as dual, unison, sync, ring modulation and cross modulation. The PCM sound engine provides you with drum sounds, but also offers a selection of multi-samples for keys - the result of a collaboration with Sample Magic, Prime Loops and Loopmasters.
Velocity-sensitive pads
Sixteen velocity-sensitive pads (with LED lights) allow you to intuitively create patterns - not only can you hear your progress, you can see it too! Use the pads as a keyboard to record in real-time, or adjust the pitch and rhythm step by step. The Step Jump function, which has been borrowed from the Volca series, allows you to use the patterns you've created in an alternate form, while the Last Step function enables you to vary the length of each part. By assigning drum sounds to the 16 pads, you can turn the Electribe 2 into a drum machine - you'll be able to create complex rhythm patterns without any effort.
Additional features
The Electribe 2 boasts offers many great functions, a number of which are particularly suitable for live performances. Take the built-in master effects module with vinyl break effects, for instance, or the Seq Reverse and Odd Stepper features, that change the playback order of the sequencer so you can discover new beat patterns. To ensure that you have everything you need both on stage and in the studio, the Music Production Station is equipped with MIDI IN/OUT as well as Sync IN/OUT. A USB connector and a card slot for SD and SDHC cards provide storage options and allow for communication with your computer. MIDI cables, a Lite version of Ableton Live 9 (including a license) and a power adapter are included. Would you like to be able to use the Electribe 2 on the go? Six AA batteries will keep the Korg Music Production Station powered for up to five hours.
Tips or comments about this product- Please note: use only the included MIDI adapter cables to set up a MIDI connection.

Prior to the update there were some minor clicks on re-triggering long notes / delays and effects were not carrying over on pattern change. Now everything is vastly improved along with additional improvements in the XY pad. The already great product now feels professional and solid in its build, great sound quality and extremely addictive workflow. I just decided to expand the fun factor by pairing with Volca Keys to complement my portable hardware setup. Both are designed for each other!
100% great buy!

Geweldige machine, als beginner eenvoudig te leren.
Er bestaat een grote community rondom de electribe en op het Korg forum zijn legio tips, trucs en tutorials te vinden over deze machine.
Let op!
Alle eclectribes hebben een uniek serienummer.
De eerdere modellen kunnen geupdate worden naar versie 1.03, waarbij een paar grote bugs worden verholpen (waaronder de veelbesproken overgang naar een nieuw pattern, welke niet vloeiend ging in veel gevallen.)
De versie die ik heb ontvangen had reeds versie 1.06 geinstalleerd staan (met een serienummer van boven de 4200). Let dus goed op voordat je de electribe update.
Van alle bugs waar melding van wordt gemaakt op electribe fora heb ik geen hinder ondervonden.
Het apparaat is heerlijk in de bediening, gemakkelijk in het ontdekken en creeren van vette sounds & beats.
Hiermee kan je ongegeneerd de trein instappen en door produceren tijdens de reis.
Ik heb op de gok de;
http://www.bax-shop.nl/dj-controller-flightcase/reloop-mixage-case-flightcase
flightcase besteld in de hoop dat de electribe er in te passen was.
Met het stukje extra foam dat erbij zat is hij mooi strak in deze case te passen, waarbij je laptop bovenop het uitgeschoven kan staan.
Leuk als je hierop de gratis versie van Ableton (deze zit bij het electribe pakket) draait. Alles lekker in 1 koffer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FYI:
De Zoom R16 past ook perfect in deze flightcase.
In de ruimte die hier dan onder overblijft past de elctribe helaas niet, oook niet als je deze 90 graden draait. ^_^
Een MacBook pro past niet bovenop de ingeschoven uitschuifbare lade wanneer je de deksel op de case monteerd (bent u er nog ;).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oja, de electribe, een wondermachine die je net, en snel genoeg, de gewenste vrijheid geeft in het vertalen van een deuntje naar een virtuele sound.
Na een paar uur kan je als beginner al veel uit de machine krijgen.
Momenteel zijn er redelijk wat filmpjes op youtube beschikbaar van enige kwaliteit.
Zoek op "Mistabishi" of "Korg launch webinar" om een paar goede indrukken op te doen.
Game on!
Korg Electribe 2 in Red and Blue
Tuesday 26 July 2016 By LizanneThe Korg Electribes belong to a series that was launched way back in 1999. Since then, these machines have become increasingly popular, and it's no wonder why: they're true all-rounders! Now, Korg has introduced two new editions of the Electribe 2 in feisty red and royal blue!
