Everything you need to manipulate fresh new sounds and create exciting dance music The Electribe MX surpasses its siblings with even more extreme sounds and instant usability. Sound parameters can be edited in realtime simply by using the knobs and switches located on the front panel, letting you create sounds just as you would on an analog synthesizer.The Electribe MX provides everything needed to create sophisticated dance music - nine drum parts, five synth parts, plus accent parts that let you add dynamic accents to the drum and synth parts (for a total of 16 parts). The built-in VALVE FORCE vacuum tube circuitry lets you finesse your tone to create the ultimate club sound.

Cutting-edge MMT synthesis engine The Electribe MX features KORG's new cutting-edge MMT (Multi Modeling Technology) engine. The Synth Oscillator provides sixteen different oscillator algorithms including not only powerful analog synthesis models, but sophisticated additive, PCM, combination and formant models as well. Other functions include 'Chord Oscillator' which lets you produce the sound of chords with just a single note, 'Unison Oscillator' which detunes the pitch of as many as six oscillators to generate incredibly fat sounds, and 'Wave Shape' which mixes two oscillators and then applies modulation to create complex waveforms. 207 drum PCM sounds and 76 synth PCM sounds are built-in and ready for immediate use, and range from powerful kick and snare beats through amazingly unique organic sounds.

In addition to four multi-mode resonant filters, there's a 'Drive' parameter that produces the distinctive overdrive of analog circuitry, creating powerful analog synth sounds. 'BPF+' (Band Pass Filter Plus) with adjustable peaking as well as combinations of LFO and EG modulation allow you to create wonderfully bizarre sounds.

Twin vacuum tubes VALVE FORCE deliver powerful sound The VALVE FORCE circuitry in the Electribe MX contains two vacuum tubes that can be used as a mastering effect to add new power to your sound. The tube gain knob adjusts the level at which the output signal is passed through the vacuum tubes, letting you create dynamic sounds with the distinctive tonal quality that only tubes deliver. This is not simple 'distortion', but rather a natural effect that enhances the tonal changes in your music.

Three stereo effects to radically change your sound The highly acclaimed effects from previous models of the Electribe series have been further enhanced to provide three multi-effect units (with16 types of effect per unit) for simultaneous use. The wide variety of effects includes a cool Talking Modulator, and a Grain Shifter that lets you freeze an instant of the sound and adjust the loop interval to the tempo. Sounds can be routed independently to the three effects, or you can use the Chain function to link effects together, opening up further sonic possibilities.

Numerous patterns optimized for all types of dance music The factory settings include 192 patterns ideal for all genres of today's dance music and beyond. Each pattern can save the sound settings and sequence data (maximum 128 steps) for each part, and 256 patterns can be stored in the internal memory. Pattern chaining is fast and flexible.
