- Small correction. EG means envelope instead of Equaliser 😊 it basically manipulates the sustain of the sound. *Thanks to the heads up.
Korg Electribe MX or EMX-1 is in my opinion one of the BEST Synthesizers/ Drumcomputers out there. It might be an oldy but certainly, one to add to your collection. With this piece of gear you are ready to complete a full track in no time. It got a sequencer for drums and synths, effects, modulations, eq, compressing options, 2 tubes to pump up your output, live set possibilities, and midi in/ out and through. I've been using this for a while, and it was one of my first pieces of gear, and I am hooked. I always add it to my live set, and I will make some more tutorials with it.
I could talk about it for ever and ever and ever, but better to dive into this tutorial and go for it!! Enjoy.
*as there is so much to talk about, I kept it by the basics for now x

Around 2010 I picked up 2xEMX-1, 2xESX-1 an MC-303 from a guy clearing out 'a load of old music junk' for £400..
That was a good day.
Whuuut haha! Thats like a dream day.
Oh God....
Daaaaamn! That is crazy!
I bought one of these in 2004 then traded it for a MPC which I regret. I just now ordered another one 20 years later! So hyped to get it!
Got one of these when they came out. Glad to see people still using them 👍
Right on point, just got mine a couple weeks ago! Can't wait for the 2nd part, thank you!
Yeaaay nice one!! Are you happy with it? I made a little correction in the info box xx
@@nstruiwigh absolument loving it :)
Thank you. This simple tutorial has given me such a clearer understanding of this little powerhouse. I’ve watched a few different guides- but this stands out as the best I’ve come across so far. Super excited to get home and to get playing.
Owh thank you so much x happy you liked it
The electribe is so much fun that when I play live shows I use it to allow people to interact with the music using the machine
its the best!!
That's a dope concept
Got recommended this video then a few weeks later a used esx-1 showed up at my local music store. Sooo I own one of these now lol.
ohhhh wow, I am so happy to hear that. YEWWW
I love this machine, I have a Korg Electribe ESX-1, already several years that I work on this machine
Love the 90s aesthetics, reminds me of my sony minidisc
HA YES
Got the original ER-1, it’s the most underrated drum machine ever. Great video !
Part 2 please :)
I love my emx 1 :) thanks for making a video about it.
nice tutorial! I just bought an MX and this was super helpful.
Ah thank you!! good to hear!
love the emx1, fun video
Thank you so much xx
Beautifull ❤ u and your korg instrument
my favorite one. i love it
Awesome tutorial! I got a korg sx-1 myself, similar to the korg mx. both are a very solid, all in one music production synthesizer! :))
Ahhh that's so amazing. How cool. What do you like about it the most?
@@nstruiwigh The instrument is just really straight to the point. Fun with all the knobs and buttons, for drum and synth part, as shown in youe video. Also the effects chain, is amazing! :))
Thanks for sharing this tutorial Nadio, it was a great help! Would you consider doing a video of you making a track from scratch on just the emx-1? There is no videos like this on youtube and i think alot of people would really appreciate it!
I'm actually planning this video now!! :) too much love for the electribes haha x
This is great I'm bidding for one on Ebay. Please keep them coming I want to learn all about this gem.
haha! it is amazing hey.
@@nstruiwigh
It is very addictive.
Thanks for this. There aren't to many of these videos.
I have the same opinion as you on this fantastic EMX-1 👍🏻
Great video, great machine! The different numbers for the roll function mean hits per step btw.
thank you!! Ive been playing with that. It is too fun haha
Gotta say picked mine up today for a measerly £225 ,not a scratch on it and its so much more fun and intuitive than my Electribes ,and the sounds are pretty hot .Cant fault it .Built like a Panzer .
You’ve got yourself an awesome deal there, since they normally sell for around £450-550 quid on eBay
@@Libertycapuk indeed, I couldn’t understand the girl wishing to sell it , but she said she hadn’t ever used it much so wanted a quick sell . Had to drive up to Keighley from Manchester,though , but nice rural ride into Yorkshire.
Part mute + shift + any button in drum part or synth part will mute the whole drum/synth part.
I have emx and esx since 2008:)
Wow no way!! Are you making tracks with it?
@@nstruiwigh sometimes
oh man... i keep watching like 3 minutes and learning something new. then fiddling around with it for an hour and coming back to the video to figure out what i have to do next. this thing is so nice for live interaction. I want to try syncing this with my TD-3, Volca Sample, or Pocket Operators. I'm picking this up faster than i thought but whoever i bought it from LOADED it with songs, and patterns, which is fine because im figuring out more of the live aspect right now but i guess im going to need an SD card because i'm not sure i can fit anything else on and I would hate to delete something that's golden that i could actually tweak myself.
haha its the best!!
...waiting! 🙂
Wahoooo
Thanksssss
I support anyone with an EMX.
I've had mine for many years and never really figured out how to program it. Still fun.
Also that pink rock. hen i was 12 and my friend came over to play computer games, his dad sent him a bunch of those rocks to put in front of the crt-screen, to protect him from the radiation. :D
YES! haha wow
Rly interesting, I love Korg products, watch my equipment
Ahhh yeah such a sick brand hey. Thnk you for watching mate!!
Part 2?
Hi, do you maybe know how I define each midi channel separately? All midi are marked on channel 10
Question: How can copy and multiply parts that i've been created? Because when i doubled the lenght it remains empty space..
7:17 to Mute all ..hold mute shift and press drums or synth ;)
Pretty cool, I own a couple of those guys as well (the red ones ), and yeah me too, I cant do with out them! Tho lately one of them has been acting up and keys are not responding anymore (very sad ) Would you know anything about things like this? cheers! :)
Haha ahh yeah. Thats so cool. What do you like about them so much? And yes I do know... So basically you have to open up the whole maschine... Get the keys out, and reglue them with a special glue. I have one that needs to be fixed as well. I have the red one too. But I rather let someone fix it 😂 xx
@@nstruiwigh Thank you Nadia :) why I love them? wow, probably just like you, the possibilities and intuitively of it, makes for a very very special piece of equipment. I have the RmK2 too, lovely little soldier if you ask me, always ready always reliable, and you have total control over your creativity, since all "sample" can be tweaked to your liking, so technically making it Your own sounds. I find that quiet appealing. :) Thank you for the cleaning tip. What kind of special glue do I need, is there like a brand that you are familiar with? :)
@@habin1662 Just DON'T use the electroconductive spray (Graphit33) that some people suggest. It works very fine at first, but through time it dries up and loses its grip + very tiny pieces start to fall off of it, which means it loses its contact again and you will have to put it on again and also these tiny pieces of electroconductive material can spread into the machine and cause problems. First just try to clean the contacts where pads are touching the buttons on the circuit. They can be dusty underneath and that can cause them to stop responding. It's easy to take EMX apart if you follow online video instructions :) good luck!
One of mine was a bit sketchy on the mute and some of the sequencer pads, and I just took it apart and used contact cleaner on them with a soft (lint free) cloth.
Works like a charm.
As said, the Graphit33 can cause more issues than it solves. Can be useful on scratchy faders or pots, but not on pads.
@@markoluk3970 Thank you guys So so much for that insightful tip, I would have probably bought that one lol, thanks for saving me from a "Certain dead" :D
what tubes did you put in?
No part 2... ? 😕
how do you load single wav files ?
So basically, it will be easier with the ESX which is a sampler
Where is part two? Thanks! PS don’t you find that this is good mostly for monotonous bass (which has its dark charm too..)? I find it uncomfortable for putting harmony suggestions or even more melodious beats.
It is still coming haha, I just have been smashed with a lot of work. It is sooo good for bass, but I also love it for a full track creation.
How are you enjoying the new mixer?
It's suuuuch a cool mixer. However... I still record it as stereo out 😂😂 instead of seperate lanes
@@nstruiwigh Same here! Generally I jam away and record a video using OBS - so I just pull a stereo mix into OBS. I have so much fun with just hardware that I am reluctant to turn on the computer for multitracking most of the time.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
😃🤩👽⚡👌
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
YEwwww
EG means "envelope generator" not equalizer.. nice overview 👍
Yeah I know! wrongly said :) thanks anyway!! xx
why doesnt korg just re release this
The current Electribes are a complete joke compared to these ones imo. What the hell was Korg thinking when they "updated" these boxes for crying out loud.
Part 2?
It is still coming for sure! sorry I have been so busy xx
