Well I haven't blog in while. I even forgot if I ever did mention that I will catch up to some of what I missed to blog. This is like a therapy to me.. and for some fuckers that don't like that, can kiss my shit. Well I have some sort of rant blogger that I keep as a journal to express my self but I ain't even sure if that's secure. I be walking in the street or driving around and some fuckers that you don't know will suddenly hate you like they know you. Terrible.. Those iPhone guys really messed it up. Great product but not secured, even a janitor who just arrived from a shanty town from the Philippines can crack into it. Devices like trojan spy whatever those are.
Anyways….
Oh man.. so much stuff going on in the world. And it ain't so pretty...
Some has their victory from the Tunisian Fruit Seller who kickstarted the Arab Upsiring.. now to Syria. But with a questionable results.. I always want to experience to see Egypt someday. I am no Arab, these news just kept bumping into me. I don't mean to be hypocrite either, it just seems to me that more and more people are forgetting to know the difference between the right things, business, and immoral to mortality. Shortcuts will only lead to shorter lives. A lot of stuff don't make any sense too. Suicide rates among american veterans are committing suicide every single day. Whose gonna back as up now. Whose gonna go and give some effort to at least help syrian civilians move to a secure location as a refugee.. while the rebels can stay to fight for their own democracy.. Babies are being killed man.. little girls are being raped in the same room with their parents by their own military forces. I don't even know if that makes any sense to just go on and take instagram photos of what I ate yesterday. Our own democracy isn't even working right…
Tom Cruise is getting payed close to 80 million per movie? And the dude got like 80 movie contracts under his belt with Katie Holme's face on his belt buckle.. what!?!? And maybe one of his movie will be about an American Sergeant who just came home from Iraq and became a hero.. titled "Heroes Don't Die Man". I am no socialist, but where the hell did that money came from.. I though we owe money to China.. lol.
So thats that. And for sure, I will bump into them more.
Alright.. now to my main topic..
I just purchased this one instrument from eBay sent from Mexico. Had it last week. Still new. Bought it half the original price.
The Korg Electribe ES-1. It's a Drum Machine, Sequencer, and Sampler.. with Effects. Powerful little machine. This is just a test session for the knobs.. I still have to make some time to read the manual for other things.
As far of industrial sounds I'm doing here.. or some of it's techno rave dance clubs sounds, are not my style as a whole. But I will manipulate it, then cut some of it and use it to my new coming tracks.. Perhaps an Album. I have older tracks done but I will not add any of them. Maybe just two tracks. There's gonna be a several ethnic instrument samples I be adding to the tracks.. I'll be working on them soon whenever there are times. I've always been a fan of Middle Eastern Instruments like the Duduk and their Drums.. As well as East-Indian Tablas and Sitars.. even their Vocals. It's been done before.. except it's how I am going to design it. I don't know man.. Middle Easterns always has these cool looking customs, heritage, food, and music, although I may not agree to some of their certain beliefs and politics..
Here is the box from Mexico.
Typical Popcorn from eBay.
The guy who sold me this says it's Brand New. The Box doesn't look brand new. Nothing Brand New in eBay for the least price. Specially half the sale price. But I gave it a try… it's eBay, it should be a lot more legit by now… well my answer is right here. Not Brand New.
More signs of not a brand new product here.
Now that I opened it. It does has that Brand New smell to it. It's probably was new, and was stored somewhere.. then moved a lot. All is here. The Manual and even the warranty papers.
Inside that box on the side, is the AC adapter.
Came with these soft cover sheet… now that's Brand New.
Wow.. it is a lot compact than I thought. The main case is steel maybe aluminum. And the outer case is tough plastic. Pretty light but sturdy for it's weight. All the buttons and knobs are in place.
Here is the rear. It didn't come with the SmartMedia Card, for importing and exporting projects as well as to save them externally. Specially adding samples and loops you fixed up from your computer. It cost around 36 bucks from Amazon.com.
Here is a Session Test I did on the Third of July. The Effect Knobs and Delays.. etc.
Again, this is not my type of musical style…..
I also got this from eBay. The rare Korg Electribe ER-1 MKII. Not from the same seller. It's used… no AC adapter, no manuals, just the delivery box, popcorn, and a plastic wrap around the unit (spooky wrap). I will make a session video later when I have the time. Lucky to purchase this cheaper than it's already cheaper sale price.
