[@xisotopex]

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!)

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.

[@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...

[@collapsingruins]

@@kaitlyn__L Recording them directly into the ES1 is fine, but porting them with the SM card... I don't recommend it. You have to feed it into a special compression file so that the electrive can read the file, and then it sounds totally weird. The es1 is a good thing if you don't want to quickly spend 1000€ on the ESX (which also gets problems with the tubes). And for sound shaping, there are tons of pedals you can route the electribe's sounds through. I've had the S mkII for years. Would never get rid of it again. It's so easy to use and a lot of fun.

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.

[@AudioPilz]

Looooooove that delay!

[@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.

😂 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 🕳.

[@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.

[@AudioPilz]

I bought an ER1 new and it was awesome. It dropped in value to almost worthless and is now back to the price I bought it for (not including inflation..). The main advantage of the ES1 etc is that they can be used live, I would not want to use the Aria in a club in the dark as the buttons are so tiny and its hard to read and remember what the buttons do. The major advantage of the Aria P6 is that samples can be played chromatically, ie you can sample a choir and play a tune with it, like 80s samplers, this is awesome and was a feature missing from a lot of cheap samplers.

i got my p6 in the mail a few days ago but was waiting for the weekend to dive in/see if ends up on my saturday morning ritual of watching bad gear. never used a non-SK sampler, so very excited to break the p6 in by sampling a fart and "entertaining" my partner for hours, as is tradition

Nice, you already have one!

You forgot to mention its sequencer and that it can sequence other gear. These machines has amazing swing and can sequence 9 miditracks at the same time. I use it only to sequence my Vermona Drm1 mkiii. The Vermona has 2 hihat generators and both have one short and one long trig. witch has its own midichannels. 4 channels for the hihats alone, but it sounds really smooth. So use it as a sequencer guys 🥳

Thank you for the heads up

I would love to see the MPC5000 coming up, I know many MPC passed the review but the 5000 has some mysteries going on...

[@AudioPilz]

Great suggestion, thanks!!!

I always feel like getting a TB-3 when I watch your vids. Also, enh! Great vid as always.

I’ve used on a number of tracks. Got mine around the time it came out. To me the sound of the ES-1 has a lot of punch. The ER-1 sounds amazing though and arguable more useful overall if you want TR-style drum sounds. Regardless, Korg makes great gear that’s usually a good value. The limitations were a bit frustrating 20 years ago but now there are so many options out there, they’re kind of fun if you aren’t limited to just this machine :)

Love the ES-1

@@AudioPilz 🙌 please do the Nord Modular (G1) next. You just need a Mac running OS 9 (I shiess you not!) or an unsupported modern version of the editor, or I guess a PC running Win 98? for actually editing patches. An advanced degree in electrical engineering might help too. But…it is worth it. Spoiler: it’s not actually “bad gear” but “great concept good sounds amazing gear that Clavia abandoned too early”. Seriously you can make any sound with this thing, apart from real sampling, there are so many patches that you do t need to bother (and thereby making a glorified Nord Lead) AND YOU CAN PLUG IN A MIC TO THE EXT INPUTS AND IT DOES VOCODER.

Oh hey! One of the other kids brought this to show the music teacher in my last year of high school, and I've been trying to figure out what device it was since I got into electronic music as an adult. I recognize it from the brushed metal front panel and translucent rubber buttons. It seemed neat as hell at the time, even though I didn't know a damn thing. Guess I was right by accident!
