OH my Dear lord.,,.. you are my savior ..... I have had the gitter issue for so damn long and for some reason have never been able to find out what the issue was.. you just made not only my day but my music creations will all love you for ever!!!!!!!!... Thank you so much for this video. your awesome
Awesome, glad to help! Next, check this trick out.. It's my ESX video, but works on EMX as well. Thanks for watching! th-cam.com/video/bPV3VZZhTOI/w-d-xo.html
Such an underrated machine! Puts Drumbrute and all the rest to shame. I bought a used EM1-X a few months ago (works perfect - no “jitter” issues) and I just need to dive in and learn it! I keep thinking I need a stand-alone drum machine, like a Drumbrute Impact or something similar, and the whole time I’ve had this amazing piece of equipment sitting here... Thank you for opening my eyes and ears to the possibilities of this incredible machine. Happy holidays!
Hello.. It really is very useful. Also, sending the three synth parts to outputs 3/4 (or vice versa) gives you two machines in a single box. Also, check out my Shift+Pattern video. In it I use the ESX, but the trick works on the EMX as well. Thanks for watching!
Just bought my second one , not planning on selling it this time. I can sequence my volca fm,deepmind 12,kawai k1 or other synths ,make 2-8 bars of melody and rhythm extremely fast, and even use it as an effects processor w audio in (can’t do that w the deepmind 12 unfortunately)so yeah definitely worth revisiting. Thanks for the tips
Hello.. I agree that as a monophonic sequencer it truly excels. You can sit with it alone on the couch and record pattern after pattern, then MIDI up your external gear and scroll through your patches until you find heat. Also, check out my video on Shift+Pattern.. It's with an ESX, but it works for the EMX as well, and will revolutionize your performances. Also.. Thanks for watching! :) Link: th-cam.com/video/bPV3VZZhTOI/w-d-xo.html
Glad you pointed out one of the biggest issues with the encoder knob and how to fix it. HOWEVER! I’m also angry because now people know this and they aren’t selling for as cheap now when that’s the main problem. ;)
Haha, thank you. Maybe the price has gone up, but actually it's kind of only getting back up to where it was in the early days, after a lull in value. The very first one I purchased, in April 2004, cost me almost $700! Thank you for watching. :)
I got over the issue of choosing between the Blue or the Red versions by buying both :D Great tips man... I am going to try those techniques out on a DnB track..
Best trick I know is setting up audio in on a synth and running the drums out your secondary outputs to the input. You lose a synth track, but open all kinds of doors for your percussion.
I’ m on my 2nd EMX & i’m back to this video. Some real souvenirs here. The LFO & FX interact on the EMX & make something that you are not gonna find anywhere else . . . . . . this vid shows that beautifully. I just don’t get why you sold this EMX instead of keeping it. SNOWMETAL EMX DRUMS
Hello.. Hey, thank you for the kind words! I enjoy working with the EMX, for sure, but I have so much gear, there are other pieces I go to for on-stage synth work. One of the main setbacks for me, regarding the EMX, is the sound of the tubes. I'd rather they left them off. Also, the ESX has a staggering amount of possibilities, so I've always preferred working with it instead of the EMX. Thank you for watching! :) PS.. This is a very powerful performance hack, and works for the EMX: th-cam.com/video/bPV3VZZhTOI/w-d-xo.html
@@lbrown7164 .. Yes, I understand that. I bought and MPC Live and I also, to this day, have the most groundbreaking tutorials for the ES2. Still, the Live is more of a DAW-replacement and not a live-performance sampler, as there just isn't that much accessible control options. Also, the ES2 fails deeply compared to the ESX in many respects, and I've documented these shortcomings in many a video. Here are two of my comparison vids, and one video of me using the two of them together: th-cam.com/video/eQzE-zuWwWU/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/G9PkbUKTmBo/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/4LSasI4At_s/w-d-xo.html
You know what, I really appreciate that. Unfortunately, I sold this unit years ago. However, I'm now more of a collector and not so much an equipment dealer, and I'm actually in the market for another. To keep. Thank you for watching! :)
The bypass mod is a game changer. A friend and I started work on a false "tube" that screws into the existing sockets, but is actually a limiter/maximizer. You would still mix in the signal via TUBE GAIN, and the threshold and attack/release knobs will go where the current tube-window is. Thanks for watching!
everytime i see people do stuff with the emx-1 it sounds so cool like this video - awesome! but when i see people using the new electribes, i never see creatively powerful stuff like this - but the specs on the "2"'s should be better right? you could basically do all of this same stuff no?
Hello.. The things I do in this video can certainly be done on the E2, but not all of the greatness of the EMX is found on the newer units. Still, some of the newer specs are better. For instance, you can have up to 16 synth parts, as you get to choose what a track does. I have a really great ES2 playlist on my channel, with some very unusual sounds and techniques. Thank you for watching!
Jitter is indeed because of magnetic fields, unfortunatly tho, a paper or plastic shield doesnt affect magnetisism... Gonna look out for the ground points you talked about in the hope of fixing mine 100%
Hello.. You may be right about the hit, but the jitter is certainly from the two circuit boards being too close without a divider, and the proximity of the power supply unit. I've repaired a dozen of the E_X units now, and this one was sold to someone I know. It's still repaired to this day. Thank you for watching! :)
Hi, I have a emx1 but the partmute pad isn't working as a mute, I think that it is set in the step rec mode, someone knows how can I quit the steprec mode? I just want the partmute button work as a mute. I have this machine since last year and it has always worked well. But yesterday partmute button just stoped working. Can someone help me please? Thanks, greetings from Colombia
i had the jitter for years with mine, and the trick with putting something between the boards didn't work. what did work was to re-seed the ribbon connections - i disconnected the ribbon and pushed it back in firmly - there was also a hard kink in the ribbon which i smoothed out a bit. never had the problem with jitter since!
Hello.. Sorry for the delayed response. Your comment may actually come in handy, since I have a friend who is having jitter, with no solution. Thanks for watching. :)
Excited! Always awesome to get some new ideas to try out on the EMX-1. Thanks!!
Hello.. I'm glad you found it useful!
Awesome liveperformance. Huge kicks indeed.
Man, I just realized, I saw your EMX video few years ago! It's awesome!
Nice, thank you for watching!
Damn bro. you make the EMX glitch as much or more then a Digitakt or octatrak... awesome work
Hello.. Awesome words; thank you! Thanks also for watching. :)

Hey, this is an old comment I seem to have missed. Anyway, I appreciate you!

it shows us how much there is still to learn with this instrument;) Thank you again for all these sharing 💪💪💪

No problem.. I'm glad you got something out of it. Thanks for watching!
Great tips, thanks man!
Thanks for watching. :)

Great tips man... I am going to try those techniques out on a DnB track..
Nice, I know the ESX/EMX combination is very formidable! I'm glad you found my information useful. Thank you for watching! :)
you are a master of that machine, I have an EMX and look forward to trying these tricks...well done!
Hello.. Thank you, I appreciate the encouragement. :) Do you also have an ESX? I'm uploading a fresh tutorial and demo today.
Best trick I know is setting up audio in on a synth and running the drums out your secondary outputs to the input. You lose a synth track, but open all kinds of doors for your percussion.
Hello.. That's a pretty powerful trick! When I get another EMX next I'll give it a shot. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching. :)
That's wild... I gotta try this. Creative bro!!
I need that electribe, brother!
Hello.. I just replied to you in Messenger. :)
I’ m on my 2nd EMX & i’m back to this video. Some real souvenirs here.
The LFO & FX interact on the EMX & make something that you are not gonna find anywhere else . . . . . . this vid shows that beautifully.

just did the tube bypass mod on the emx1 and it’s given it new life. started to hate the hiss and tube distortion
The bypass mod is a game changer. A friend and I started work on a false "tube" that screws into the existing sockets, but is actually a limiter/maximizer. You would still mix in the signal via TUBE GAIN, and the threshold and attack/release knobs will go where the current tube-window is. Thanks for watching!

Hello.. I have quite a few Insta accounts, for multiple businesses etc., but I rarely use it. Try @SnowMetalMusic or @EmergingBiology
@@danieklerr hey Bro, just added your snow metal insta there. Check out my last video to see how I used your technique... Keep up the good work 💪🤖🧠
Wtf did you do to that box at the end? Very well done mate!
Thank you so much!
I hate to say it but with a ding that size it probably took a pretty hard hit and that may have something to do with the Jitter problem that it has
