Bad Gear x Korg Electribe EMX-1

Welcome to Bad Gear, show about world’s most-hated audio tools. Senior synth citizens might get impression that technical evolution is going backwards: mass market returned to dark ages of analog, there’s obvious disconnect between traditional manufacturers and their customers and sampling hardware is slowly reapproaching tech specs of 1991. Today we are going to talk about Korg EMX-1. This 2003 Electribe is considered to be gold standard for groovebox design by many - and gimmicky hotchpotch of cheap-sounding late dance sounds for more or less everyone else.
