The Korg electribe series can precisely construct and modify patterns whilst playing intuitively and spontaneously generating new sound variations. A decade after the launch of the Electribe SX we now have a new electribe sampler - with even more ease of use and fun for beginners and experienced users alike. The electribe sampler can be found whenever there is a need for speed – be it for live performance or music production.
The newly developed electribe sampler uses the latest technologies of the KingKORG, kaossilator, kaoss pad, tactile and other popular KORG products. Its internal memory can record 250 patterns and already contains contemporary presets heard in the dance and electronic music scenes. One of the outstanding innovations is the polyphonic playback, which is indispensable for music styles with complex chord sequences such as house music.
With the 16 front pads you can intuitively create patterns and listen to the sounds at the same time. To record phrases in real-time the pads can be used as a keyboard. With Step Recording you can enter pitch and note values step by step. When performing, the patterns created with the "step jump" function (typical of the Volca series) can be called up as desired, or the "last step" can be changed to vary the length of each part. The "Motion Sequence" function is used to record its control and key actions to use as a sounder element in the created pattern. During creation of complex rhythms, assign a drum part to each of the 16 parts and 16 pads. This new feature is also applicable to synths.

Korg electribeI think the main advange of the new Electribe is its portability, you can power it from batteries and take with you wherever you want.
The groovebox is compact but sturdy with plenty of knobs and buttons, it doent feel cheap and I like playing with it.
It might not be the most advanced synth engine, yet 16 parts and plenty of oscillator and filter types with effects allows you to be as creative as you want.
Therere several weak points, and Id say that limited computing power is the main one: if you create a pattern with lots of effects and movement going on it can limit polyphony drastically.
Other than that its a shame you cant change drum samples. Built-in samples are very good, but it could be much more flexible device. Anyway Korg decided to have separated sampler model for that.
Also theres no song mode as in previous Electribes.
Still its a great a device for the money and you can write complete tracks using only this Electribe.
Please make sure you installed the latest OS update, because therere quite a few important improvements.
Also included manual is very brief and doesnt cover all functions, so I would recommend to watch several video tutorials first.
