Either way, using the 16-key pattern keys as with the older models would again be a step down compared to the app. In hardware, this would either require buttons or an actual 37-key keyboard. For me, the mostly dedicated pots on the ESX/EMX were what made the machines so intuitive.Īlso, take the sequencer: at 5 minutes into the video, you can see that they incorporate a virtual 3-octave keyboard. Unlike a PCM synth, the wavetable allows you to repeatedly play. Certainly a simple OLED like the one on the hydrasynth could suffice but then people would be wondering why they're paying $$$ for a piece of hardware with a worse UI/UX than the app.īut if they'd use a bigger screen like the Waldorf Iridium, they'd lose space that could be used for dedicated buttons/pots, so the device would become rather big or they'd be forced to repurpose buttons/pots depending on context. ELECTRIBE Wave has a sound wavetable featuring sounds widely used in the latest music creation. In hardware, you'd need a ton of buttons and pots, something that Korg seems unwilling to spend money on, as the e2 models showed.Īlso, just taking the wavetable synth portion of the app shows that the waveforms require a display of some sort. Watching the video I realized that making this functionality available in hardware would be quite an effort compared to simply building an app for the iPad. ELECTRIBE Wave has a sound wavetable featuring sounds widely used in the latest music creation. iElectribe: an app for the iPhone Electribe Wave: an app for the iPad. I'm probably late to the party but I just found out about the Korg Electribe Wave: Electribe is a group of electronic musical instruments by Korg.
