Korg ER1 Electribe-R Rhythm Machine

Analog Resurrection
The Korg Electribe-R analog beat machine is like a science fiction story come to life. That's because Korg has gone back in time, taken the best parts of its old analog rhythm machines, and created a new monster of beats. It's perfect for DJ's and electronic musicians at every level. If you are looking for the phattest old-school beats combined with futuristic features and control, step into the Korg La-BOR-atory and meet the Tribe!

Beating Once Again
It is the heart of the Electribe-R that sets it apart from all other groove boxes and rhythm machinesÖ4 analog tone generators plucked from the throbbing innards of Korg's classic Prophecy and Z1 synths. Four modeling synths in one unit means you can create 4 completely different types of sounds and use them simultaneously.

Step to It
Putting your monster sounds in motion is no problem. The built-in step sequencer has 16 light-up pad keys, so you can easily see what going down. Plus, there are 12 trigger pads so you can play in real time. Store up to 256 phrases or other patterns, plus 16 multi-pattern songs!

Morph 'n' Mutate
Every parameter of the Electribe-R is knob controllable. You can mutate the drum sounds and effects and store the new sounds as a custom kit. Drop your new sounds into a sequence and let them roll. But it doesn't end thereÖyou can control all parameters in real time and the Electribe's Motion Sequence will even remember how you tweaked the knobs! Now your sounds will morph and mutate… read more while the sequence playsÖa feature traditional drum machines can't match.

Mating Machines
Another old-school function Korg has resurrected is the audio input found on the classic M20 patching synth. Plug in 2 different audio sources (CD player, turntable, synths, bass, guitar, whatever) and gate the sounds to play in sync with the rhythms you create! You can even tweak those new sounds with the Electribe-R's knobs to create totally original sounds. The Electribe itself can also be controlled by, or used as a sound module for, an external sequencer. There's also a Tap Rhythm feature so you can sync up the tribe to non-MIDI devices. read less
