Korg Electribe S ES-1
The Korg ES-1 Electribe S Rhythm Production Sampler is a sampler that doesn't simply play back a recorded sound - it lets you aggressively process the samples to create your own signature sound. Play any sound or phrase in and use the pitch, filter, and effects knobs to drastically alter the sample. Chop a sampled phrase or sound into pieces with the Electribe S Time Slice function. Time Slice detects the attacks of each part within a loop (e.g., bass drum, snare, and hi-hat), so that these parts can be massaged separately. You can also use the knobs to modify the tone of a phrase processed by Time Slice, creating complex patterns from a simple loop or phrase.

User Reviews of the Korg Electribe S ES-1
- Submitted by sclr from Portland, OR (220 points) on Feb 21, 2008
- i had this sampler before getting the korg esx and before i went totally laptop. i made lots of gabber beats noise etc. it is probably the best sampler i have ever had. its quick and easy to use and sequence on and the pitch setting is very analog like, very useful for crazy sound manipulation. i really miss this thing and someday i'll get another one.
- Good Points: quick to use. easy to use. lots of manipulation on the fly. effects are pretty good.
- Bad Points: limiting. no chromatic playback of samples only a knob and step by step pitch settings.
- Price Paid: US$300.00
