    Nice. I love my ES-1. I rarely use it with full loops though. Mostly use it as an experimental drum machine, making use of the motion sequencing.

    Love the old television. You do look and sound like a musician, I also have a es1 that I'm still learning to use so I thank you for the tutorial. Much respect.
  • Thanks for this! I just got an ES-1 after wanting one for like… 2 decades almost? And I’m just lost. This gave me a good foundation to start. Thanks again!!

    Enjoyed learning about the ES-1! And the groove is cool 😎
  • One of my favourite bits of equipment it's so versatile,,,,,effects work good in the mix playing guitar into the audio in 👍
  • someone just gifted me the ES1. Ive been holding off trying anything original with it. Im not tech. I wanted to start by sampling 'organic' sounds via mic..like youve done.. and learn from there so thanks for this basic video...very straight forward..Since its pre owned...I have no idea if the patterns I have are factory presets , how many, or done by the previous owner(s)...where can i find a listening sample of the factory presets ? specifically 42 lol

    I got an ESX1 I really love it, I wanted an Electribe since the first one. I been thinking about a Roland box to use with an ipad. Not sure Im gonna like it, but only one way to find out. Would you buy the MC101 over the 707 if you had it to do over? I really want the SP sequencer. Even been thinking of the TR8s…. but only if it was way cheaper than the 707 cuz the 707 ohoh the other one too the MVWhatever…, ohhhh my brain hurts🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

    Coincidentally I've dusted off my ES - mkII just this last month and wondering why I bothered getting the Sample 2. My first sampler was the Akai S612. Samplers should be simple to tweak like the ES. I heard lately that if you're going to get into Synths don't bother with hardware unless you're getting an analog synth or a Sampler. I kind of agree.

    Can you help I've got a blank pattern on the es1 ,everything set up to work , i follow all instructions I've seen on you tube and it still refuses to sample. Do you think the unit is probably faulty .I've had it over a week now and can externally sample .at at all . ?

    Ciao scusate se non scrivo in inglese ma almeno riesco a spiegarmi ho una korg es 1 il modello verde e qualcuno saprebbe spiegarmi come fare una nuova traccia per iniziare poi con i pattern ? Grazie in anticipo ciaooo

    Never had an es1 but er1 yes itd be cool if korg could bring this back but in a meat and potatoes form like these old boxes. The model samples is more closer to a es1 than the electribe 2 i love the 2 sound quality but workflow is a nightmare
