Audio Input For More Sound Flexibility

In addition to the two sounds you can program using the ELECTRIBE·A's internal tone generators, you can take sound creation a step further with the external Audio Input. First found on Korg's classic MS-20 analog patching synthesizer, this capability lets you use external audio signals as a sound source that can be synced to the rhythms you create on the ELECTRIBE·A. Plus, you can use the ELECTRIBE·A's filters and effects to process these sounds and mold your own unique sonic creations.

For a demo - including mp3 files - of using the audio inputs on the EA-1 and ER-1, check out: Tips and Tricks: Audio Inputs by James Bernard.

Input By Step Or In Real Time

The built-in step sequencer with 16 pad keys makes it easy for you to program patterns from the sounds you create. Each pad keys lights up so you can easily see what rhythm a part is programmed to play. The pad keys can also be played as a pitched keyboard in either step or real time.

Tweak Your Sounds With The "MOTION SEQUENCE" Function

Volume dynamics and filter frequencies of the sounds or patterns you create can be modified using the knobs. You can record these changes into the sequencer precisely as you make them. Use this capability to create continuous shifts in the sounds or to gradually apply an effect, creating phrases that include tonal changes. Phrases you create can be stored as a pattern that includes a chosen knob movement, and up to 256 1 to 4-bar patterns can be stored in internal memory.

Control It From An External Source

The ELECTRIBE·A can also be controlled from an external sequencer, keyboard, or sampler to function as an analog sound tone generator, or set up to control or be controlled by other hardware or computer-based sequencers.
