[@VestedUTuber]

I mean, it's something that's technically possible with modular gear by patching an LFO into the tempo input of a sequencer that already has a swing mode. It's only a matter of time before someone decides to implement it in a non-modular machine.

this is the best gear review channel anywhere. he takes instruments that MANY people have panned or outright discarded, and proves time and again that it isnt the tool its the musician... if I was a manufacturer, thats exactly who I would want reviewing or maybe even help designing my products. there are a LOT of gear review youtube channels out there, some with a LOT more views and subscribers, but NONE of them have very good music. or even any music at all....

[@BigCrashTrackLoop]

Well said. Some of them looks really slick, well produced, but they clearly haven't researched the gadgets they're reviewing, often regurgitating the intro section from the manual, or even guessing at functionality. You can tell Florian takes his time to dig into each machine. He's often mentioned features/bugs that only experienced users would know by trial and error (definitely for some of the machines I've got!)

[@uniqueflowsnake]

[@ambrosiajam8008]

I love how this episode is basically Florian talking about how much he wants Roland to take the jump and give him a sponsorship with full creative freedom and showing his GAS for the P6 😎🤓

[@roryjineffect]

I almost sold mine, one of my first hardware synths that I bought. The editor software that recently came up light really has me excited.

[@Bezz_Jeens]

Finally! One of my absolute favorites on the channel. Your early EA-1 video was my gateway to the channel, because I had one at the time and it was so fun to hear your take on it. Now I also have the ER-1 and ES-1 and I love them both, but you just do not see anyone talk about the ES-1. Even when people are looking for old school samplers for a crunchy feel, it never comes up, and there's very, very little KZbin content on them. Although I don't want the prices to go up, I'm glad to see at least SOMEONE talking about them and having a go at making some music with them. Even if that person is talking smack.....

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you so much!!!

[@kaitlyn__L]

For real, most hardware samplers just don't "click" with me. But this one looks quite compelling 👀 I'm sure it's not just because of the turquoise...

[@RobinRimbaudScanner]

[@AudioPilz]

Happy to hear that!!! Thanks!!!

[@mblyster649]

😂 4:39 There is a fix… lift off the plastic knob completely, insert “cut up” pieces of tubing/hose that will fill the space between the chassis casing and the metal rod protruding.. put plastic knob back on and BANG! no more wobbly knob.. it’s a little squeaky and chaffy, but gets the job done.. thanks to the person that came up with this idea (read it on a forum years ago).

[@astralhousefly]

If anyone has any more info on this, I've been plagued with encoder wobble with my ER-1.

[@mblyster649]

If the korg knobs are similar to the Roland mc-505’s (in my case) ?..this method works great to fix the wobble. the tube/hose i bought from home depot.. either the type that you would find on a talk box, water pump, or a retractable kitchen sink hose etc.. remove plastic knob, measure depth from bottom off gaping hole to the top. cut tubing to that length, insert the cut piece into hole. it shouldn’t protrude. replace knob. * you’ll know diameter of hose you’ll need once knob is off 🕳.

[@josephmartin8169]

Haha, something I own finally showed up! Vaguely proud.

[@AudioPilz]

Nice!!!

[@chriswareham]

Ooh, this one's going to hurt. I love the ES-1 - an almost perfect balance of features and a surprisingly good interface. The resampling is such a great feature, sculpt a sound with effects and motion automation, then resample it to free up the effects.

[@AudioPilz]

Agreed!!!

two of them here- wore the first one out. they really should/could have made the delay into an effects pedal of its own- the way it interacts with midi sync is fabulous, & they dropped it on the later models, the one with the glass in it..... I used mine as a master clock, because of the giant tap-tempo that I needed to hit to follow a real drummer. excellent box. sleeper.

[@cooptrol]

I got my ES1 MKII in 2009 to go along my ER1 and EA1, stubbornly ignoring the laptop-controller live set era of those years. I even used it to play live gigs standalone, parameter-recording the melodies. A year later I got an ESX so they all went to other hands, of course regretting that later. I was an Electriber from 2000 to 2016 when I switched to Elektron.

Impeccable timing! I took delivery of my ES-1 mkII just 3 days ago. Unfortunately it's a "For Parts or Not Working" eBay bargain, so it'll be a couple of weeks waiting for replacement components from AliExpress before I can fix it, but after watching this I'm even more excited to get it paired with my ER-1 (another resurrected from the dead eBay bargain) for some super-sloppy timing retro bangers 😜

[@redseaflora8497]

Went from a volca sample to this box and feels way nicer to use a human sized interface. Resampling is possible but a little clunky. You can emulate an sp404 style unquantized workflow but you run out of memory very quickly. The pieces of sliced samples can be pitched and played with the pads and then resampled, allowing you to chop up samples nicely. I often will find nice sample chops and then just resample into ableton to actually make a song. You can set each track to a different midi note easily also and use it to sequence other gear, and then resample into the box while applying the fx as well. So many cool tricks you can do that tutorials on youtube don't touch. There's a cool tutorial on yt about just using resampling and fx to make your own drum sounds just via resampling. Song mode is easy to use and useless all the same.
