After my last post about the korg pad kontrol i seem to be addicted to searching for korg hardware and i came across the KORG Electribe MX i actually nearly bought this last year but never got around to the whole going to the shop thing. Anyway heres a small vid of the KORG Electribe MX its not to good a quality but the idea it there and you will see what i mean by the possibilitys it could create.

So now after watching that video i started to think that maybe i should now get one. I also found a review of the product on the internet so i will share that with you to.

The presets sound good for the genres they are emulating, but useless for the genres of music I produce. They show off what the Electribe can do and how much can go on at once. Mainly, the presets were made and put on the Electribe to get it sold for the “wow” factor. I did not buy it because of the presets, I bought it because of the weird, noisy, loud stuff it could do once I started tweaking it.
Editing patches is pretty easy and straightforward. For the more advanced stuff such as step sequencing and motion sequencing and what not, a lot of buttons and knobs have to be used and a lot of submenus have to be accessed and that takes a bit of practice to get the hang of. But, most of the commonly used parameters are easy to access and straightforward. Making synth parts and modulating them is very easy, as well as manipulating effects and so forth.
The manual covers everything you need to know, right down to advanced MIDI programming and controlling. The manual is as straightforward as the unit itself.

I hope this info has been helpfull.

Ok, so i was just playing about on youtube and i came across this video of the korg Pad Kontrol, ive seen it around but never like this. I just cant stop watching the dam video so i figured i have it here to show you all.

Im gonna go on the hunt for some more info about the player and hopefully fill you in a bit on what it is.

So,
The all-new padKONTROL joins Korg’s expanding line-up of MIDI studio controllers. Adding another dimension beyond traditional keyboard control, the padKONTROL is the most expressive and versatile pad controller ever!

In addition to accessing drum sounds and samples, the padKONTROL can also control soft synths and effects, trigger loops and video clips, and even act as transport controls for DAW software programs. Combining an assignable X-Y touchpad that also provides for natural-sounding flams and rolls, sixteen great-feeling illuminated trigger pads, assignable knobs and a footpedal input, the padKONTROL provides unsurpassed evocative control.

I have just bought the Behringer BCD 3000 for djing on the radio and i have to say its the best thing i have bought in a while
