Manufacturer's Description for Korg EA1 Electribe-A Analog Modeling Synthesizer

"Make no mistake, the Electribe-A is an expressive and, at times, extreme instrument."Ö Keyboard Magazine, Aug '99

Tribal Tone
It's a box full of dance magic designed for the electronic shaman — Korg's Electribe A! Korg has reached back through the mists of time to conjure up the great spirits of analog synthesis — classics like the Mini Korg 700, the PS Series, and the MS Series.

The Electribe-A contains 2 of the analog-modeling tone generators made famous on Korg's Prophecy and Z1 synthesizers. So you can generate the warm, fat tone and rich distortion that make analog sounds stand out. Dedicated knobs for each parameter allow you to quickly tweak your sounds until you've programmed the perfect patch. Then sequence the slammin' sounds you've created with the 16-pad-key step sequencer. DJs and electronic musicians of all levels will find that the creation of aggressive analog grooves has never been easier!

Audio Injection
Take sound creation a step further with the Electribe-A's killer Audio Input feature. First seen on Korg's classic MS20 analog patching synthesizer, this capability lets you use external audio signals as a sound source that can be synced to the rhythms you create on the Electribe-A. Plus, you can use the Electribe-A's filters and effects to process these sounds and mold your own unique sonic creations! Never worry again about sounding like anyone else, because the sound sources you can choose are limitless — try imputing CDs, turntables, guitars, other synths, vocals, or even a shortwave radio.

Mad Motion
While you tweak the knobs, the Electribe-A's Motion Sequence function records the real-time changes you make in volume, filters, and effects and saves them in the sequence! Use this function to give your songs incredible expressiveness.

Super-Connective
The Electribe-A can also be controlled from an external sequencer, keyboard, or sampler to function as an analog sound tone generator, or set up to control or be controlled by other hardware or computer-based sequencers, so no matter what your set up, you've got the hook-ups! zZounds is an authorized dealer of Korg products.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "Unlocking its true potential requires work, but its well worth it !!"

Sound: Regardless of its hardware limitations, this thing has a seemingly infinite sea of sounds that require incatrate computer control to unlock (software sequencer). Feature: It could really use more levels of distortion (like virus) and an LFO Quality: The knobs seem pretty standard and are solid. But still has an overall feel of low qualityness. Value: 200 would seem better fit Manufacturer Support: Tried forever to get sysex specs... had to reverse engineer w/ midiox Overall: I have found a few "ranges" of superb sound that is extremly close to that found in professionl quality beats.

Style of Music: trance

"waste of money, waste of time"

Sound: the sound is pretty bad. I doesn't sound like a real analog synth...it sounds like a cheap casio keyboard sent through some delay and distortion and then looped Feature: it actually has a lot of features, but good luck figuring them out. Korg boasts you can plug your guitar or CD player through its effects, but that "feature" is a complete joke. You can do a bunch of stuff via MIDI, the best of which is hooking it up to other electribes or any MIDI keyboard. You can also up/download new patches via the internet, etc, etc. Quality: I don't know what's inside (because it sounds terrible), but externally the unit is solid and could probably take a few knocks Value: buying a new one of these would be a huge waste of money.
