Korg Electribe A (EA-1)

Functions

The EA-1 has many functions, such as the ability to build analog-style sounds by using its waveform, filter, effect knobs.[2]

It is possible to create two-part sequenced phrases using the two analog modelling tone generators. External audio sources can also be input, and processed with its resonant filter or effects knobs, and then synched to a sequence. The oscillator can be modulated using Ring modulation, Sync, or Decimator.

The EA-1 can store a total of 256 (64 x 4 banks) phrases or patterns plus 16 songs consisting of multiple patterns.[3]

The EA-1 can be synchronised to other MIDI devices using tap tempo or MIDI clock, or by tapping in the beat and synchronising to a turntable or other non-MIDI sound sources.[4] The Tempo delay, chorus/flanger, and distortion effects can also be used to manipulate sounds and patterns. The EA-1 can be controlled from an external sequencer and used as a MIDI expansion tone generator.

gollark: You can actually *click* the name of a peripheral and it's automagically put on your clipboard.
gollark: So, if you rightclick a modem, it tells you the name of peripherals on it, yes?
gollark: Also, minor but probably important QoL thing: please make it so that you can click the license key to copy it to clipboards like you can with peripheral names.
gollark: It's more a thing of random BIOS additions and making compatibility with potatOS more annoying.
gollark: I like the websocket chatbox idea, but please don't add the event conversion thing as yet another background coroutine.
