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.
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 10 parts, then use the step sequencer
to create rhythm patterns. The step sequencer's 16 pads divide a measure
(or 2 measures) into 16 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.
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 11 types of effects, that can be switched on/off for each part.
The 11 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 16 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 Electribe's 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 16 pad keys to program rhythm patterns
and break beats.
