Korg Electribe MX Synthesizer & Drum Machine With SD

The Korg Electribe MX-1 SD Music Production Station with SD card slot. Refreshed and reborn with up-to-date patterns and convenient SD card data storage, the Korg Electribe MX remains an indispensable instrument for dance and electronic music, and are loved by creative artists around the world.

The Electribe MX loved by musical creators around the world have been reborn! Retaining the inimitable, intuitive style that made the Electribe stand tall against other dance and electronic music gear, they now support SD card data storage and feature programs for today's dance and electronic music scene; patterns available for immediate use.

An SD card slot is now provided, so the pattern and song data you create on the Electribe can be quickly saved to an SD card. Now you can easily manage your data on the Electribe MX itself, without the need for an external computer! SDHC cards up to 32GB are supported, so you can stockpile plenty of sounds. Data compatibility with earlier models is maintained, so data you created on the original Electribe MX can be played back without change.

New preset data has been carefully selected from the latest sounds and patterns produced by creative artists from around the world who love the Electribe MX. Ninja Tune/Big Dada artists Emika and the Antipop Consortium are contributors, as well as U.K. MySpace artist Shrikednb (Tom Thorpe); plus YouTube stars Denkitribe, mryat and Scribej. Simply listening to these new patterns will nourish your desire to create cutting-edge music.

The Electribe MX features Korg's acclaimed MMT (Multiple Modeling Technology) as its sound generation system, creating a wide range of sound variations using simple operations. There are a total of 16 waveforms to choose from.

PCM sample data is also provided as a sound generation system. With 76 types of synth PCM sounds and 207 types of drum PCM samples, you start creating rhythms immediately.

Two 12AX7 vacuum tubes can be used to add more power to your sound. The tube gain knob controls the level of the output signal passing through the vacuum tubes, letting you create dynamic sounds with the distinctive tonal quality that only tubes deliver. The result is a fat, warm sound that cannot be achieved using digital technology.

Three stereo effects processors are available simultaneously to provide radical changes to the tone. A total of 16 effect types are available. Sounds can be routed independently to the three effects, or you can use the Chain function to link effects together, opening up further sonic possibilities.

The Electribe's 16 step keys allow for easy, intuitive song production. Realtime recording lets you record phrases as you perform, and step recording lets you use the keys to input timing, pitch and duration one note at a time. Since you can specify the last step of a pattern, it's easy to make instant changes to the feel or length of the song.

The Motion Sequence records realtime knob tweaks and plays them back as part of the pattern. You can loop sounds with time-varying changes, creating original performance effects even in a live situation. Two types of motion sequence are provided; one for effects and one for musical parts, and each can also be edited for at the individual step level. You can record up to 24 motion sequences for use in a single pattern, allowing you to control virtually every sound parameter.

The factory settings include 192 patterns ideal for all genres of today’s dance and electronic music and beyond. Each pattern can save the sound settings and sequence data (maximum 128 steps) for each part, and 256 patterns can be stored in the internal memory. You can also create and save your own original pattern sets.

The Auto BPM function automatically detects the tempo from any rhythmic source connected to the audio in jacks, and applies that tempo to the pattern. Of course you can also use Tap Tempo to set the tempo, or sync up to an external MIDI Clock.
