I picked up a second hand Korg EM-1 for $240 (they usually cost $400 for a brand new one) and I'm stoked. I was messing around with some of the preset patterns and then added a few of my own touches, and made a 'complete' song.
korg em1 demo (1min32sec)
Everything was done on the drum machine, synths and structure and everything. I love it.

thank you sir's. I'd say it takes around 2 days to learn how to use like 90% of the functions. Theres still a bit more that I haven't touched in the manual, but it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out.

ive played around with a korg electribe drum machine, not sure if its exactly yours (i think it was green)
those things are a lot more fun than software drum machines.. so much more intuitive, it feels just like playing with a toy

definately, its just a relief to make music without sitting in front of a monitor. It uses a lot more of your brain power too, trying to remember all those patterns, numbers, and things you've sequenced.

yeah i was thinking about seriously looking into one of those (or the next generation ones) but no one around here has one, and they dont sell them in many stores in australia. I hear the electribe sampler is really impressive.
i also hear they are really really handy for live performance.
enjoy yourself!

i have an electribe es-1. the sampler one. putting the samples in is a pain.
i don't even use the sequencer on it either, i hooked a yamaha rx-11 up to it.
then again i don't use them often either.

Hey there,
Yeah, that piece does work. Tell me, what did you use for the keyboard sound? Thats what I really lack. Sounds like sort of a wurly + delay + phaser + possible slight ring modulation.

according to the korg manual, its a preset called "E.Piano Chord Set" So it sounds pretty much as you hear it in the song, only the one on the track has a delay on it, which may produce a slight "wurly+phaser". However the bare sound is a chord of piano keys that seem like they have the high end reduced, giving it a warm, bassy feel.

btw, Hi. Its always cool to have new people stop in here and chat. If you're interested in hearing new stuff, I run a virtual record label here that features some of my friends (that i know in real life and online), they make a little bit of everything, jazz/rock/idm/experimental etc... some rolled all into one.

I have to say though, the only thing I wish this thing could do, is be able to have fx for each individual sound...
The way it works now is: Global delay, that effects everything (however this is not considered an effect, which is nice, although you cant have it effect a single sound, it applies to the whole pattern)
Then the effects themselves, which is a good variety, from distortion, ring mod, and reverb, to compressor, decimator and distortion.
However, you can only pick one of the fx, set the amounts/variables, and then choose what sounds you apply it too. If you try to change it, it changes all the sounds you applied to that effect.
So to conclude: this thing would be perfect if each sound had its own fx channel as opposed to sharing a single fx channel with all the other channels that have effects enabled.
