Korg Electribe 2 Sampler Music Production Station (Ltd Edition Metallic Red)

The metallic red Electribe 2 brings back the legendary spirit of the classic Electribe SX with modern sampling technology and vibrant illuminated LEDs that pulse with your creativity. This latest iteration in the electribe series combines the intuitive operation that made the original famous with cutting-edge technology borrowed from popular KORG instruments including the KingKORG, kaossilator, kaoss pad, and taktile. Built for both live performance and music production, the Electribe 2 handles the demanding pace of modern electronic music creation with ease.

The unit's internal memory stores up to 250 patterns, including preset patterns tailored for today's dance music landscape, while supporting the polyphonic playback essential for complex chord progressions found in House music and similar genres. The 16 front-mounted pads serve as your primary interface for intuitive pattern creation, allowing you to hear and see sounds as you build your compositions. These pads function as both a keyboard for real-time phrase recording and a step sequencer for precise note-by-note programming.

Performance features include the "step jump" function inherited from the volca series and adjustable "last step" settings that let you vary the length of each part during live play. The "motion sequence" function captures your knob and button movements, incorporating them into your patterns for dynamic automation. Each of the 16 parts can be assigned either drums or synths, giving you the flexibility to create intricate rhythmic patterns by dedicating all parts to percussion if desired.

The familiar "touch scale" function from the kaossilator ensures mistake-free performances by constraining notes to musical scales as you move your finger across the touch pad. Combined with the intuitive trigger pads adapted from the taktile, phrase creation becomes accessible to musicians of all skill levels, while velocity switching options provide additional control over drum input and expression.
