[@chaoswires2734]

Great sound design, great production, and that calm groove + reverb - mmmm... Yeah.

[@matsewunderlich]

Thank you 😊

If Korg rebooted this groove box, I would get it in a heartbeat!

[@matsewunderlich]

👍🍀

[@paweldun]

this machines are great to make deep and dub. this video inspires me. thanks.

[@matsewunderlich]

😊 yes thats true, I work in a complete different way on a track with this limited but so inspiring machine

[@marc3d]

i thought the red is only 4 sampling?

[@paweldun]

yes, the blue one i for modelling

[@cthulholmhastur5317]

😁 Such a chill vibe. Also, there's something about the low end of the ESX that's just so ...fat. Great stuff! Liked and subscribed.

[@carbilicon]

Nice one. That's the magic box right there.

[@matsewunderlich]

thanks 😊 - the ESX-1 is a nice machine

[@electrock]

B E A U T I F U L !

[@matsewunderlich]

Thank you 😊

[@jordanzish]

Nice. I'm thinking of starting to put up some jams myself. Not nearly enough ESX-1 content on KZbin. Considering the love for the previous Electribes I don't know why the budget groovebox world hasn't latched onto the ESX-1 yet.

[@jordanzish]

This is really good by the way.

[@matsewunderlich]

Thanks 🍀

[@DeliriumElectric]

People are latching on, as prices have nearly doubled in the last 3 yrs

[@tomaszwazinski2908]

I wish i could do the same with my E2. Great work.

[@matsewunderlich]

🍀 just try some basic beats and use for special sounds one of the external Outputs with a massive cool Effect (pedal or VST...) this is a huge difference for creativity and better sound

[@duburbian3574]

Great Jam🖤

[@matsewunderlich]

Thanks 🍀

[@SpaceK3]

Beautiful:)))

[@matsewunderlich]

Thanks 😊

[@weazleymusic8300]

Awsome jam ! would you consider sharing these ESX files ? i could pay bucks for that

[@matsewunderlich]

Hi! I will do some samples for the ESX-1 with my Analog and Vintage Equipment.... but I need some more time to create these... I think I will make a video when there are the first results 🍀

[@Plopplop1000]

Look up Edrenalize Korg Esx 1 kit. It’s like 20 bucks for the whole kit with patterns etc included.

[@АлексейЧелябинск-к6в]

Вообще нормально! COOL!

[@matsewunderlich]

Thanks 🍀

so doooope!! need

[@PolLight3000]

Hi Matthias, hmmm, welche Taste nehmen wir denn heute?🤔😅 Ja, den Kommentar hatte ich schon mal, aber ich konnte auch jetzt nicht anders. Ich glaube weiterhin nicht, dass ich mir all die Funktionen und die aus den Kombinationen resultierenden Möglichkeiten und Effekte merken könnte.🤯😁 Egal: Niiiicccce.😎🎛🎶 Ist immer wieder schön, dem Meister beim "Spielen" zuzuschauen und natürlich zuzuhören.🤗🤩👏🏻 Ich wünsche Dir ein schönes und kreatives Wochenende (das angedrohte Wetter ist ja ideal, um sich ausgiebig z.B. der Musik zu widmen)! LG von der nassen und kalten Südbaar - Ralf🖖🏻🍀

[@matsewunderlich]

Danke Dir vielmals Ralf, ja es hat etwas entspannendes von Zeit zur Zeit mal was ohne großen Bildschirm zu machen :) Die Ideen kommen beim Probieren und es ist dann ein ganz anderer Workflow im Vergleich zu der Gewöhnlichen Arbeitsweise mit Software. Ich mixe immer das Beste aus beiden 🍀 - Liebe Grüße zurück 🎹

[@PolLight3000]

@@matsewunderlich Das glaube ich gern. Ich habe ja noch ein mittlerweile 34 Jahre altes Yamaha Keyboard mit einer kleinen Synthesizer-Funktion, da kombiniere ich (wenn ich mich mal dran setze) auch mehr auf "gut Glück"; das "Problem" nur, ich komme immer wieder auf wenige Lieblingseinstellungen zurück und bin mir gar nicht sicher, ob ich die ohnehin gar nicht mal so großen Möglichkeiten überhaupt ausschöpfe... So nebenbei, was hier gerade so hochtrabend klingt, ich habe in all den Jahren nie gelernt, Musik zu machen bzw. in diesem Fall Keyboard zu spielen. Weder hat das Lernen Noten zu lesen funktioniert, noch reicht wortwörtlich meine Fingerfertigkeit aus (v.a. die linke Hand...) - das wird auch nichts mehr in diesem Leben.

[@boardbax]

[@berakdata]

FAT sounds, nice jam!

[@matsewunderlich]

Thank you 🍀

[@Naapeajaea]

Those lovely big reverb tails coming from out 3-4 ??

[@matsewunderlich]

Yes, exactly I use the external outputs for a long reverb - in this case I used the Valhalla Supermassive In the monitor Input from Logic. I am looking for a cool Vintage Reverb like Alesis Midiverb for a mobile live set… the effect return is possible to put it inside the esx with the external audio input. 🤔🍀

[@flavatech5938]

GREAT USE OF THE BEST GROVE BOX EVER MADE ..!!! Love it ! Sounds amazing too ! Did u use any VST plugins when recording to computer

[@matsewunderlich]

Thanks - yes - (you can find it in the description :) - I use the individual outputs to add Valhalla supermassive and a little EQ on the other outputs.

[@elasticyoga6843]

Fetter Groove! 😎👍

[@matsewunderlich]

Danke Dir 🍀 - es geht doch nichts über Hardware .... das kennst Du doch :)

[@antoineg2804]

Well done matthias, very tight mix ! would you mind explain me a bit more about your setup pls ? out 3&4 to your audio interface (with vst reverb) and what's about the other elements like drums, perc etc.. I can see MIDI cables too ? thanks

[@matsewunderlich]

Hi, I work with Logic ProX, my Audio Interface is the Zoom R-16 (8Analog Inputs), so I use a Stereo Input for the "Dry" Sounds like Basslines and Drums, output 3 is signed as a Mono Output, the same with Output 4. I Like to use a large Reverb on the Output 4 and a Vst Delay on the Output 3. another part in my setup is a fast Vst Noise Gate on the ESX Inputs. A little Eq for the Bass Frequencies of the Stereo Out - that´s all. Yes - I use the MIDI Functions of the ESX, sometimes I use the ESX as a Sound Expander, sometimes only for the MIDI Sync. with MIDI Clock. For all Midi Equipment I have the Emagic AMT-8 with USB (20 Years old, but it works good). My other Equipment (Hardware) , Roland JD-990, Roland D-110, Yamaha TX-81z, Waldorf MICRO-Q, Roland XP-80, Kawai K1R, Korg ESX-1, Korg X5DR. I play all with a Alesis QX49 Keyboard. In this Video is the only Instrument in use the ESX-1. Only the Delay and Reverb Effect was used in Logic in the Monitor Configuration, - real Time. I still have a vintage CASIO Keyboard (CT-370) without MIDI and the IPad with some nice Synth Apps. 😃

[@vznquest]

sounding mint

[@matsewunderlich]

Thanks 😃

[@xoio]

Excellent! Was this created using just built in sounds and FX or custom samples as well?

[@matsewunderlich]

There are some selfmade samples in my ESX-1 the remainig samples are from the Beautiful sample pack from electronicsounds. The Sound for this Session was created with the use of the individual outputs of the ESX1. For the chord sounds I used the valhalla supermassive reverb- one of my favorite Effect PlugIn 😊

[@toktok3796]

richtig richtig gut was du aus dem Teil rausholst!! Sind alle zu hörenden Klänge einzig und allein aus der Korg Electribe ESX-1 kommend? keine externen Klangquellen?

[@matsewunderlich]

Ja, alle Sounds kommen aus der ESX-1, Die Einzelausgänge machen hier allerdings den Vorteil gegenüber der Electribe 2 , so hab ich einen Teil der Sounds wie Chords und Noise Effects via Einzelausgang durch den Valhalla Supermassive Effekt laufen lassen. Demnächst kommt noch etwas Ambient mit der ESX-1 diesmal zusammen mit dem Ipad.

[@toktok3796]

@@matsewunderlich danke für die Einblicke! Freue mich auf weiteren Input :-)

[@manucontrovento]

wow

[@theblowupdollsmusic]

Such a warm and very glued together sound. It sounds so effortless compared to computer daws.

[@matsewunderlich]

Thank you - the sound of the EXS is very "analog" but a lot of this sound is formed by Valhalla Supermassive - my my favorite EFX Plug in - absolutely beautiful sound

[@wmp3920]

Amazing jam !!! I think here is external fx processor on 3-4 output ?

[@matsewunderlich]

You are right - I use the (free!) Valhalla Supermassive Effect in Logic Pro x in the Audio Interface Input for ESX 3+4 Outputs

[@swo8on]

What if the difference beetween this one and the blue one?

[@matsewunderlich]

The blue one is a Synthesizer , the red one is a sampler 😎

[@andradsound]

Hi! How to link this machine with a DJM900NXS2 mixer?

[@matsewunderlich]

Hi, the DJM900NXS2 mixer comes with 4 stereo Line inputs. If you like to use the ESX-1 - just use the stereo mix output and go to one of the stereo line inputs of the DJM900NXS2. You need chinch jacks for the DJ Mixer and 6,3mm jack plug for the ESX-1😊

[@andradsound]

@@matsewunderlich Thank you so much!!

[@andradsound]

@@matsewunderlich Also are you familiar with the EMX1? Because I'm between both...

[@SilverKnobsHMDT]

Only 2 keyboard part - does it mean you can provide f.e. one bassline and one lead or sth? Thats all?

[@matsewunderlich]

yes - this is the limit of the ESX-1, the 2 Keyboard Parts are Monophonic - so it is perfect for Basslines or Lead Sequence sounds. But you can use any Drum Part for your samples - so I use here a Drum Part Sample for a Chord Sound

[@SilverKnobsHMDT]

@@matsewunderlich OK thanks for information! I'm planning to purchase one of these. Very nice dub though! Please let me know what do you think about my dub sets - on EMX :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIbQc2ydoZuEiKs I really love that KORG machine. Truly wunderful. Although it has its limits too.

[@xsixinfantryx]

Im torn between this one and the MX (blue one). I play guitar and drums, but new to this. My brother has the MX and i just really like sitting down and playing with it, putting stuff together. Not sure which to get. Whats the difference between the two?

[@matsewunderlich]

Hi - the blue (EMX) ist the one with the synthesizer engine, the red one (ESX) is the sampler. If you like to be creative withe own samples - the ESX will be the best choice. The New Electribe 2 sampler is red too, cool to play and edit, way better Effects than the old series but no Individual Outputs, and thats the cool thing to the old box :)

[@djkanyon]

Having Electribe 2 i can see that them tube-powered Tribes were so much better in terms of sound. Somehow Korg lost "it"...

[@matsewunderlich]

maybe the newer "2nd" generation is not so powerful, but to get the full sound I used the main output (with tubes) and the individual outputs, and this is the real deal with older hardware - Individual outputs are so cool ! You can isolate bass from drums and for example one output for the chord samples with a massive effect ( I used valhalla supermassive) 🙂

[@djkanyon]

@@matsewunderlich yup!i completely forgot about that! thanks man, sub from me!

[@GarrettMorrisdrummer]

Are these sounds inside the korg out of box? Or are they sampled into the korg? Thanks

[@matsewunderlich]

yes I used own samples too - load into the ESX-1 via Smart Media Card. The long reverb I created wit the Individual out Valhalla Supermassive, the Kick Drum is routed on a mono Individual Out and I used some EQ, but all sounds are from the ESX-1 🍀

[@matsewunderlich]

when I produce samples for the ESX-1 I uses mono Sample and 22,5 KHz this works very well

[@GarrettMorrisdrummer]

Dope, thanks man!

[@DJZofPCB]

any advice on replacement pads?

[@matsewunderlich]

sorry - I think you should check all channels with Electribe Live Videos - my ESX-1 was built 2004, and I don´t use it very often.... maybe 200 hours in the whole time :) it is nearly in a new condition...

[@DJZofPCB]

@@matsewunderlich thats ok im just wondering what you would do to replace your pads if you needed, due to age and responsiveness, most of what ive read, the pads loose their responsiveness over time, and im sure use, you said 200 hours thats not alot. i was just wondering.

[@ferguswaveforms]

From my experience the losing sensitivity in old gear is just dirty contacts. If you carefully dismantle and clean use contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol you should be all good. Just make sure you have all your screws carefully stored 😂

[@MrJackal43]

Noice! ❤

[@oupahens9219]

How does it compare to Arturia's Hybrid Spark 2.

[@matsewunderlich]

sorry I never had a Arturia Spark 2

[@tomaspompei6033]

all the sounds come from the esx 1? or you sample something?

[@matsewunderlich]

Hi, all the sounds come from ESX-1 - only some effects were added with the individual outputs (ESX Output 3 + 4) - Kick Drum is mono - output 3 = Dry and some EQ, Dub chord is mono too, output 4 - via Valhalla Supermassive = Stereo. I use some own samples and the ADRENALIZE Sound Set ... very nice 👍kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIbChqmgmdtphNU
