Mista Bishi on the forthcoming Electribe Sampler. Some of this is FAT! :nod:

"it's the sound of 250 patterns being played one after the other in one take.

A live version would last longer as the patterns would be played around with, but the track is one take with no improv. It took just over two weeks to programme, writing on it every evening after work."

Me too. :nod:

The shop said it'll be the end of June... I can't wait! :mrgreen:
Really? Mine said June 3rd. But its a TBA, so it might be at the end of the month. I haven't seen anything from Korg yet saying anything about its release.

There's a lack of info at the minute regarding the detailed features and release date etc. It's expected anywhere between now and mid August over here. :popcorn:

I was the same... I stocked up on rechargeable batteries, memory card, card reader etc. The more I looked into it the more clunky the OS looks though, especially coming from the OP-1 and JJOS.

I'll mothball the batteries and other stuff in the hope that Korg develop the features and workflow, but OS version 1.0 isn't for me. Hopefully you get on with it ok Ill. :smoker:

Coz, you were right. I had big hopes for this but I had mine for a month and returned it back in October. Big turn off for me was lack of control over quantize. Its automatic and cannot be changed or turned off, you practically stuck at 96ppn. Now if I could change the ppn to 960 then I would be cool if quantize was on or not. Second, I was hoping to use it like a tape recorder like I have been doing with all my other samplers of resampling pieces of a sequence to pads, but this was frustrating being confined to the Parts. Just can't be done.

Other than that, its a fun machine just like the other Electribe samplers. Saves your knob movements too which wow'd the shit out of me. Final verdict is that there is nothing here that I have already in my arsenal. Buy it if you looking for something on the go, it runs on batteries like the 500. Unfortunately, this will not replace my 500 :mrgreen:

Roland gonna change the game I hear next week at NAMM. Lets see, its a new groovebox, SP or MV don't know, but its gonna go nuts.

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what's in store from Roland. :nod: :smoker:
