Electribe is the name given to a group of electronic musical instruments by Korg. Nearly a decade on from their initial release, Korg has once again refreshed their enduringly popular Electribe range. The ES-1 and EM-1 each received major updates three years after their introduction and the EMX-1 and ESX-1 really brought the Electribe concept to its logical conclusion as fully featured all-in-one production environments. The EMX (blue) focused on Korg’s MMT (multiple modelling technology) synthesis approach, whereas the ESX (red) is the sample specialist. Both units offered a single box solution for Dance music production, with drum and synth features, arpeggiator, a good selection of real-time effects and the all-important ‘Valve Force’ tube gain.
