Value For Money : Poor
All features are on the Korg website or on the Net.
It has MIDI, however, conventional headphone jack ... what.

The sounds are editable yes.

The sequencer has no groove sequencer Roland, but it does its job, there is frankly worse.

UTILIZATION

Everything is at hand, the use is quite easy, even for a beginner.
The manual is quite well designed, some have more need than others if it is their first Groovebox for example.

The arpeggiator on the other hand is a joke. It's just a sort of "Beat Repeat" and an arpeggiator nothing worthy of the name.

SOUNDS

The drum sounds are really satisfactory for some, some kick sound good.

Synth for its part is more debatable: while there are many possible combinations, but the sound is far from being crazy or unique, it is sometimes a little dirty, and their history of lamps "to give her a more hot sound "made me smile a little, well ... I do not talk about effects, otherwise I will become aggressive. :)

It was one of my first machine, I kept a few months, because I thought we were quickly made the rounds, I sold it, and it lacks nothing in my set-up.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for three months.
It was my first groovebox.

I agree with some reviews that define the EMX-1 as a machine that makes dance punk dog, as well as in babos sarrouel in gout. Nothing derogatory in it, it also happened to me to go chug to get an idea of ​​what it was, and that several times. I have nothing against these people, some will think I put them in a box, maybe yes, but they either do not hesitate to put people in boxes, and that is normal, it is human. Brief. I digress.

In chug, the couple often EMX-1 and ESX-1 + Korg KP3 with sounds heard thousands of times, a very high BPM is rediscovered, very too often.
Character is not my cam at all, and sound level, I feel that this machine is only good for that, to make the Hardtek / Tribe / Psycore / Hardcore / Goa a little dirty, and we have already heard all these filthy "kick" grimey who "BoingBoing" 160 BPM. Even if I make Techno (qu'Underground Resistance is my witness in = D) I do not do this kind of Techno, and I can not seem decidedly to love this machine and its sounds.

It is not worth much used today, the price is interesting. Neuve against, 400 bullets for it, it is too expensive, and it is simply theft, pigeonnage.

I will not repeat that choice with experience.

This is a machine that has done me laugh, but now, it lacks a bit of personality, and its sounds are very stereotypical, very focused on a certain kind of music, and that's a shame. But do not tell me that composed of tubes, is not messing around either. As the place on the "podium" machines, this is a bit exaggerated. To each his own is true, but still ...

Jibé.
