| Sample and go!
The ELECTRIBE·S is a new type of sampler that doesn't simply play back a recorded sound - it lets you aggressively process the samples to create your own signature sound. Play any sound or phrase in and use the pitch, filter and effects knobs to drastically alter the sample.
Slice loops with Time Slice
Chop a sampled phrase or sound into
pieces with the ELECTRIBE·S' Time Slice function.
Time Slice detects the attacks of each part within a loop
(e.g., bass drum, snare, and hi-hat), so that these parts
can be massaged separately. You can also use the knobs to
modify the tone of a phrase processed by Time Slice, creating
complex patterns from a simple loop or phrase.
Realtime resampling
With the resampling function, you can
apply effects to a previously-recorded sample and then resample
the result. You can even resample while modifying parameters
such as pitch in realtime, and create even more new sounds
with absolutely no deterioration in audio quality.
Instant rhythm creation
Assign sampled sounds to up to ten
parts, then use the step sequencer to create rhythm patterns.
The step sequencer's sixteen pads divide a measure (or two
measures) into sixteen parts. You decide where you want
each sound to play by touching the desired keypads to create
a pattern. And with the touch of a button you can add rolls
or reverse playback for each part, so you can easily create
highly complex rhythms that used to take ages to program
in.
Add and change effects with the Motion Sequence function
You're in complete control of sound
alteration. With the Motion Sequence function, every tweak
of a knob can be recorded as part of the rhythm pattern.
Alter your tone at will on each part using one of the following
parameters: pitch, filter, level, or pan. Then, with the
Motion Sequence assign effect on/off, roll, and reverse
playback for each part (all three can be recorded per part).
Plus you can apply an Effect Motion Sequence (a motion sequence
for effect parameters) and a Delay Motion Sequence to the
entire pattern.
Radical sample processing
In addition to a master delay effect,
you get a built-in effects processor with eleven types of
effects, that can be switched on/off for each part. The
eleven types include basic effects such as Reverb and Flanger/Chorus,
as well as unique effects like Decimator, Isolator, and
Resonant Filter. Effect parameters can be edited using the
knobs, and knob movements can be used as part of the rhythm
pattern in the form of a Motion Sequence. The sound processed
by the effects can also be sampled again. The internal memory
of the ELECTRIBE·S can hold 128 user patterns. Combine
up to 256 patterns/steps to create a song, which can be
stored in one of sixteen internal song memories.
Store your data with Smart Media
The ELECTRIBE·S provides a Smart
Media slot for storing data. 3.3 V Smart Media ranging from
4 MB to 64 MB can be used to store your own sampled sounds,
patterns and songs. The ELECTRIBE·S can also load
AIFF and WAV files via Smart Media, allowing you to take
advantage of sampled data stored on your computer.
The word is in
The ELECTRIBES kick ass. Their thick,
meaty analog sounds are making their own unique contribution
to global mayhem. But we're not done with our radical donation
to the rhythmic revolution. Introducing the ELECTRIBE·S,
a sampler with a sound that is as fat and gritty as ever.
And in true ELECTRIBE fashion, the ELECTRIBE·S is
packed with tweakable knobs for extreme sound editing, and
sixteen pad keys to program rhythm patterns and break beats.
