So, I've been working like crazy this summer, saving up for a laptop, but now it turns out my dad is going to get me a laptop so I have a e-load of cash to spend ;) well.. not exactly, most of it is going to the bank, hehe :)
But I was thninking of getting a Korg Electribe EM-1, it's on sale at my local music store, I don't have any hardware and I figured this is a good start. I really like the interface so maybe I can improve my drum programmnig skills :) (btw. I got a Delta 44 and a Midi I/O Port on my PC, running Cubase SX)
I want to use the electribe as a midi sequencer for my VST drum samplers. Is it possible to play a pattern on the electribe, connect the midi-out on to my PC and make it play samples in a VST sampler (Such as Battery)??
If I set it to keyboard mode, so that the 16 trigger buttons play notes like a keyboard, can I hook up to an external synth and use the Electribe as a *keyboard* ?? :)
and Finally, can I output knob movement in real-time to Midi? Like use the knobs on the electribe to control VST plugins?
Please help me, and fast, cause the sale at the music store ends in 3 days :) |

If it has MIDI out and has that "keyboard mode" you mention later on, then yes.

Same deal as above

Same deal, if the knobs will also act as MIDI controllers then yes. |

| So can anybody tell me for sure whether or not the knobs can send midi messages? |

| Why not just check the specs yourself? |

I know that the EMX-1 can send midi data from knobs, but I haven't found anything about the EM-1, so I can't be 100% certain :( And I don't spend money unless I know what I get for it :)
Can anyone confirm that the EM-1 can send *live* MIDI data from knobs, like the EMX-1 ??? |

I just know from the previous range of electribes that it had an own midi code so nothing like cc 74 = cutoff, you just had to record realtime.. so I really doubt it will serve as midi controller. It was never meant to do this anyway. Why not buy a keyboard with some midi faders & buttons.. ? You'll get much further than an electribe for this purpose. ( it has a huge sound) |
