How To Reset Korg Electribe ESX-1 SD & EMX-1 SD

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.

According to several user reviews of Korg Electribe ESX-1 SD & EMX-1 SD, some users have praised it for the Minor updates to the Electribe range; New SD card slot for pattern and sample storage; Updated presets and samples. But some users also have complained for the questionable value compared to modern DAWs; A few missed opportunities in terms of tweaks and updates.

  • I bought a used korg esx-1 from eBay, apparently the original owner erased all the original data, patterns, songs ECT. So I tried the factory reset, & had no luck restoring original information, still says no samples or names to patterns....how can I restore content when bought new? Any help would be appreciated thanks Jeremy.

      • Hi, i am having the same problem. did you figure it out.
        i just got a couple of 23mb smd cards from re pc, was hoping to download factory sample and see if that works.
