Korg Electribe MX

Bobon

I was at a gig a few weeks ago and saw a band called 'Channel One'. The singer had what I can only describe as a box-shaped instrument in front of him. (As you can tell from my lack of terminology, I'm knew to the electronic scene, apologies :rolleyes: ). Anyway I liked really enjoyed their performance and presumed that the extra drum tracks and generally that extra sound was coming from some sort of synth/sequencer/drum track.

So in the last few days, i've been to music maker looking at different synths. I came across a Korg Electribe MX. When I asked the guy working there about the synth, he started ramblin on and I basically just nodded and pretended I knew what he was on about. But as you guessed, I don't have a clue..

What I want to know is, can/do you hook a keyboard up to the synths. Do they have drum sounds programmed in or would you get that separate and can you record onto them. Thanks

The Electribe is a drum synth sequencer thing-a-majig. It creates all the drum sounds i.e. kick, snare, effects etc in the box, so it is a synth kind of. I don't know much of the specifics but I assume you use a MIDI controller rather that a keyboard (although I'd say you could) to control the sounds. You can program in the patterns you want at the bottom there.
