Electribe ER MK2

[Reyman]

Hi Guys!

I'm looking for a great (maybe analog) drum machine, but I
don't know which one it should be:

- Stylus RMX ok, digital live
- Boss DR3
- Electribe R MK2 (my favourite one concerning analog machines)

I wan't to make electro music (...)

I bought the Electribe R MK2 to test it
and maybe it will arrive next week.

But what do you think?
Is this Electribe R MK2 totally cool ?

Thx !

My equipment:
PSR 9000 (Yamaha), PSR 230 (Yamaha, my first keyboard ),
Access Virus KC, Kawai K3m (what do you think of this shit ? ),
Akai S2000 and Yamaha MG16/6FX (Software: Cubase SL 3.0)

Not such a big one :/

The Electribe is a fun little box... not too awesome soundwise. Easy to program, but no pattern-writes during playback (nasty!).

With some tweakage the 4 synth parts can be really fun, though. Had some troubles doing full L/R separation of drums, which was a shame, as that would have equalled two discrete (mono) outs.

Only MIDI controllable by note-on/off's and NRPN's, which sucks when using Ableton Live.

Heard some good stuff about the RM1x, seems a better option, but at least 2x as expensive. The MD is supposed to be kick ass, as well, but costs loads of hard cash.

Good luck!
