man. i love the japanese.

[timfromtexas]

haha i was thinking the same thing.. not knowing what they are saying they seem to be fumbling around.. i wish they had shown a little more about what it does rather than play live at the end.. i think it looks neat but i hope it has a good sequencer.. it appears to have one but if its complicated like the micron... ehhhhh

[wax inspektor]

...it has PITCH...

[hurlingdervish]

...it has PITCH...

lol

so does a casio keyboard

i would actually like to see the functions that make this thing better than a casio keyboard

like adjustable loop points down to the millisecond

^

but fo real... that thing looks interesting. Even though I hate playing drums on keys but thats prolly jus me...

i like the look...kinda old school looking. i want to know all it can do. it might have to be picked up. i have been thinking roland/akai needs to make a lil keyboard sampler. like make the mpk sampler for akai. but korg has beat them to it. and the pitch did sound good. hmmmmm?

[timfromtexas]

Maybe a pad controller could be hooked up? That might be Ill chords and melody on keys and drums on pads... It has a software deal too.. I wish more info was out the translations suck ass and have little info..

[reignbear]

damn, i have high hopes for this thing. I've been thinking lately about how I'd kill for something like an EPS in a microkorg form factor (ever since i sold my EPS because it was too big). I'm with Hurling though about the adjustable loop points, the loop point modulation on the EPS is one of my favorite things ever...come on korg!!! make this thing dope!!!

im 100 percent sure they would allow midi

or else it wouldn't be korg

damn everyone check out the new WAVE DRUM....im speechless on it

its like the roland handsonic but realistic...if that thing is midi assignable ill never touch a drum pad again

[jbl]

i can't watch it cuz it's set to private. whatever...

but i did find this

jesus, that case looks like its been sitting forgotten in a warehouse for 25 years.. WTF were they smoking

Yes.. it has playable pitch.. yes.. a casio does too.. But hey look the SP still doesnt

In terms of features/specs, this should actually pretty interesting.. but that interface.. jesus!!

[V-F!]

Might be cool if it has some great effects and advanced features like auto slice. Looks kind of like a casio sk 2001 or some shit. I'm in the market for a new sampler, but until I see the specs I would rather have an esx-1.

[hurlingdervish]

is it possible that this might be japanese only?

is there even mention of US/EU/AU release?

lots of electonic gear comes out in Japan that never reaches the states, and this thing seems mighty niche imo

this thing however...
