Elektron Musical Instruments

Hi to all,

I've been a bit quiet lately due to a new job, busy, busy, busy .....
But today I bought a Korg ESX-1 to sit next to my MM and MD.
I've owned an ES-1 and loved it so I had to have this one too.
It's a perfect company (maybe elektron will come up with a sampler?) and it
makes making music a breeze.(all three)

To let you hear what I came up with after an hour playing with this trio I'v
uploaded a Jam.
It's called ESX1 jam (duh....) and it can be found in my Sound File selector
here:

Enjoy, Ronald.

PS. I hope the link will hold because I'm way over my upload limit :-)

Hey Ronald,

I too own the esx1 the MM and the MD. I agree that it
sits perfect alongside the elektron gear. :) The stuff
you can do with these products is endless.

I just got mine in yesterday and love everything about
it but I noticed that the Joystick felt kinda loose.
It was loose cause it wasn't glued on very well. You
think some super glue will do the trick ;)

if you're talking about the top being loose on the pin, then yes super
glue will help. that's what Elektron's tech recommended I use when mine
came off.

enjoy your MnM!
Joe

yes it was the top part, thanks Joe! :)  I love this
machine! :D

I have to try out that esx.  Been interested in getting a sampler. 
What sound or sounds was from the esx, roonan?  I'd like to know how
you load and store samples on it.

Great new tune by the way.  The best I heard from you yet.

If you listen carefully you can hear wich is from what.
The ESX has a bit of a dirty, somewhat thicker sound due to the Tubes and
the output stage.
The MM and MD are very clean and precise (wich I like) and are more upfront
in the stereo image.
This combination brings more depth to the image so to speak.
In this Jam only some of the percussion was from the ESX but the
possibilities are endless ........... ;-)
The most obvious parts are unmuted at 1:23, 1:35, 2:22.
From 5:16 I start to twist some ESX knobs.
It's very good in dynamic left to right, back to front, dry/wet kind of
things with the motion record (24 in one pattern!)
Very similair as pattern locks for those who do not now the E-tribes.
In fact the love for the motion seq. in the ES-1 made me buy the MD with his
parameter locks.

Ronald.

PS. When I'm selected I'm up for a Live contest, style Downtempo, 26th of
March for Diesel in Amsterdam.
I'm thinking of an totall improvised set in the same feel as this jam, will
it be good enough?
(Of course you fool ;-)

Hi,
i am just curious about esx sampling features too. I heard it is not 
that good when using own samples - but i heard this when esx was just 
released...so there are maybe further updates now ?

"(maybe elektron will come up with a sampler?)" says Ron.

actually i proposed that idea here about a month  ago or so, but 
everybody shot me down =(

seems they allw anted a stand-alone sequencer instead...

i'd love for Elektron to make a sampling drum machine simmilar to an 
es/esx, mpc, asr-x.. because i dont like the japanese companies, and 
it seems their the only ones making them (btw Ensoniq may say their 
american, but their just Japanese in disguise..)

maybe i should try making a Poll about what product people would like 
to see Elektron make next..

hey 
i want to sell the Elektron Sidstation like NEW for 550,-EURO from Berlin
Germany.
