dude those korg things are totally sexy bits of kit. some really awesome drumsounds in them, for sure.

you can totally produce pro stuff that way; been done many, many times. you can either just record what your program or, if you have a midi interface, use it in real-time w/ your sequencer. a bit more involved but definitely something to play around with.

you can also build up a pretty wicked sample bank by recording the electribe's sounds, tweaking 'em, and building kits in a software sampler or reason.

if it sounds good and people play it out-- it's pro. if all you use is a speak and spell and a playstation... if people like it and play it, it's pro. dont worry about the tools... the end product is all that matters.

the end product is all that matters

i got the er-1 at home and always thought about that too. concerning professional sounding beats i would say that it is possible. at least with the er-1 you could create your own drum sounds as well as monstrous basslines. nevertheless i haven't yet managed to try the software/hardware-combination... i know no big help...

don't like synth??!

LOL

yeah i know two wikkid wikkid KORG-rockers...

one of them is
myspace/metric
or
myspace/thunderheist

I also have the original ER-1. It's a lovely bit of kit for Electro sounding beats. A great for blips and zaps.

Pro is such a bloody subjective word, anyway.

ive got the electribe MX and the SX.

both are fucking dope. Ive been doing a lot of my basses with the MX lately... and gawdDAMN it fucking kills!

the MX is pretty limited (i wouldnt make a whole track on it... cant really make decent sounding atmospherics) but for mono synth sounds, it cant be beat.

highly reccomended.

I have the EA-1 synth. I use this synth all the time. Bass, leads and the occasional 303 emulation.

Very fun little toy. Yep indeedee.

oh, the trick, like any external piece of kit... is to run it thru a desk..

standard.
