1. Introduction

tortion for sharp and powerful analog synth

sounds. For totally far-out sounds, we’ve added

BPF+ (Band Pass Filter Plus) with adjustable peak-

ing, plus you can use other parameters in conjunc-

tion with modulation from the LFO or EG.

1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the ELECTRIBE MX

(subsequently referred to as the “EMX-1”).

The EMX-1 Music Production Station can be used

by anyone - from beginner to professional - to cre-

ate stunningly original music.

207 drum waves for immediate use in your dance music

The EMX-1 features 207 built-in drum waves that

have been pre-processed to sound their best in your

music, immediately.

The panel knobs and keys allow you to edit sounds

intuitively and easily, and to create rhythms and

phrase patterns without the need to use any other

equipment. The EMX-1 is the ideal tool for the mu-

sician, DJ, sound creator, or desktop-music user

who wants an easy way to add originality to their

music. It's also an ideal compliment to any of the

other models in the ELECTRIBE series.

Analog synthesizer-style ease of editing

The front panel provides knobs and switches for

important sound parameters, allowing you to edit

sounds in realtime while you perform, and letting

you create sounds in the same way as on an analog

synthesizer.

Three simultaneous stereo effects processors

The EMX-1 provides three stereo effect processors,

each featuring 16 cutting-edge effect types. You can

use the Chain function to modify the way in which

the effects are connected to each other.

Main features

The ideal tool for producing dance and many other types

of music

192 internal patterns programmed for many genres of

dance music

The EMX-1 provides nine drum parts and five

synth parts. Since song arrangement editing is uni-

fied with the sound editing for each part, song pro-

duction is quick and easy.

The EMX-1 can hold 256 patterns in memory. Each

one lets you store a sound and sequence (of up to

128 steps) for each part. When shipped, 192 of the

internal patterns are pre-programmed specifically

for dance music and other modern music styles.

“MMT (Multiple Modeling Technology)” tone generator

system

The synth engine of the EMX-1 features Korg’s lat-

64 songs

est technology — MMT (Multiple Modeling Tech-

nology). This system builds on the know-how that

was developed for the DSP technology used in the

Z1, MS2000, and Electribe series to create a wide

range of timbral variations with a few simple op-

erations.

A sequence of patterns, mute data, and knob move-

ments can be saved as a “song” in each of the 64

song memories.

Intuitive pattern programming

The sixteen step keys on the front panel allow you

to enter data into pattern quickly, easily and intu-

itively. Of course, you can also use realtime record-

ing or step recording.

The oscillator section provides a total of sixteen

different synthesis models that include not only

standard analog synthesizer models such as Wave-

form, Sync, Cross Mod, and Ring Mod; but also new

types not previously available, such as a Chord type

that can produce a full chord from a single note, a

Unison type that lets you detune the pitch of up to

six oscillators to create an extremely thick sound,

and a Waveshape type that mixes two oscillators

and then modulates the result to generate complex

waveforms.

Motion sequencing

The EMX-1’s Motion Sequence feature lets you

record and loop knob movements and switch op-

erations, letting you create time-varying changes

in the tone during playback.

Newly-developed VALVE FORCE vacuum tube circuit

The EMX-1 features Korg’s newly-developed

VALVE FORCE technology, a completely analog

circuit that contains two actual vacuum tubes and

can be used as a mastering effect to enhance the

overall sound level. It delivers a rich, warm, and

clearly-defined sound that cannot be replicated by

digital technology alone. Use the TUBE GAIN knob

The carefully selected parameters of the filter and

modulation sections boast a greatly improved

range, speed, and sound quality. In addition to four

filter types that can dramatically vary the sound

generated from the oscillator, the new Drive con-

trol can create the distinctive sound of analog dis-

to adjust the level of the EMX-1’s output signal

being sent through the vacuum tubes, controlling

the smooth distortion and rich overtone structure

that vacuum tubes add to the sound. Even at lower

volume levels, you can adjust the TUBE GAIN to

enjoy great tube-quality sound in any situation.

Saving your data on the EMX-1

The patterns and songs you edit and create on the

EMX-1 will be lost (the patterns and songs will re-

turn to their un-edited state) if you select a new

pattern or song, or turn off the power before sav-

ing your changes.

If you want to save a pattern or song that you cre-

ated or edited, or changes you made to global data,

you must perform the Write operation.

You can always restore all songs and patterns to

the factory settings if desired (☞p.89 “Restoring the

factory settings”).

Process external audio sources

You can connect an audio source to the audio in

jack, and process that sound using the internal fil-

ter and on-board effects.

Two-channel individual output jacks

In addition to the L/MONO and R main stereo

audio outputs, you can route any combination of

parts to the two independent audio outputs.

About the vacuum tubes

Do not attempt to remove, replace or change the

tubes in the EMX-1. The tubes are not a user ser-

viceable part.

Auto BPM detection

The EMX-1 can automatically detect the tempo of

an audio source connected to the audio in jack, and

apply that tempo to the current pattern. Of course,

you can also use tap tempo to input the tempo, or

synchronize to an external MIDI clock.

What is

VALVE FORCE is KORG’s proprietary vacuum

tube audio technology. The VALVE FORCE sys-

tem provides the smooth distortion and rich

overtone structure that is uniquely characteris-

tic of analog tube circuitry. By providing the

tube circuit with its own gain control, the

VALVE FORCE system delivers excellent tonal

quality in any situation.

SmartMedia™ slot

Patterns and songs you create on the EMX-1 can be

saved on SmartMedia™.

Arpeggiator

Use the ribbon controller and slider for intuitive

and hands-on control of automatically generated

arpeggios.

What is

? (Multi Modeling Technology)

KORG’s new cutting-edge MMT (Multi Mod-

eling Technology) engine is based on the vast

knowledge aquired from years of DSP devel-

opment — development that created the Proph-

ecy, Z1, MS2000, OASYS PCI and Electribe se-

ries. This technology provides amazingly ad-

vanced sound possibilities while maintaing the

simple operation that has been the hallmark of

the Electribe series.

Display

The large back-lit LCD keeps you informed of the

operating status and provides other information.

Pattern writing on-the fly

If you unexpectedly come up with a cool pattern

or riff while playing patterns, you can write and

save the pattern without stopping your perfor-

mance.

you can use the TAP key to match the tempo, and then press the RESET

key at the beginning of each phrase to synchronize your performance

without using MIDI.

Pattern A.01

About the timing of changing patterns

If you change patterns during playback, the currently-playing pat-

tern will finish playing first, and then the newly selected pattern

will begin to play. The name of the pattern waiting to be played next

will blink in the display until the change occurs.

If you change patterns during playback, you may hear noise or un-

wanted sounds at the transition due to the ef fect or delay settings, or

in some cases the effect sound may drop out.

If the patterns before and after the change use the same ef fect but

with dif ferent settings, the result will sound the same as if you had

turned those knobs.

Setting the playback tempo

TEMPO ................................................................ 20.0...300.0

Using the dial to set the tempo.

1. Press the PATTERN key (lit).

2. Use the [ ]/[ ] cursor keys until the display indicates “Tempo.”

3. Turn the dial to adjust the tempo.

4. If you want to save this tempo setting, write it into memory. (☞p.64

Saving a pattern )

The tempo of the pattern will return to its original setting if you select

another pattern without writing the new tempo .

Playing the sound of a part

What is a Part?

A “part” is the smallest unit within a pattern. Each part contains a

sound, a rhythm or phrase pattern, effect on/off settings, and mo-

tion sequence data.

For each individual part, you can edit the sound, store a rhythm or

phrase pattern, and store motion sequence data (☞p.29 “Editing

sounds”).

The EMX-1 uses three types of parts, for a total of sixteen parts.

Assigning the output of each part

OUTPUT BUS ............................................................. L/R, 3/4

For each part, you can route the sound to the line out jacks (L/

MONO, R) or to the individual out jacks (3, 4).

1. Press the PART EDIT key (it will light).

2. Use the [ ]/[ ] cursor keys to select “OutBus” in the parameter

display. The “ ” symbols at the bottom of the screen indicate the

output destination of each part.

3. Press the part key for the part that you want to set, and turn the dial

to select either L/R (lit) or 3/4 (dark).

When you execute the Clear Pattern operation, OUTPUT BUS will

be set to “L/R” for all parts.

Adding distortion to increase the impact

of the sound

TUBE GAIN ............................................................................

This adjusts the level at which the output signal from the line out

jacks will be passed through the vacuum tubes. Even if you turn

down the master control, you can use the TUBE GAIN knob to ad-

just the amount of distortion.

This strengthens the distortion produced by the vacuum tube.

Raising the TUBE GAIN knob excessively may damage your exter -

nal speaker system. Please use caution.

This has no effect on the sound that is sent from the individual out

jacks (3, 4).

Using the arpeggiator

Performing with the arpeggiator

To arpeggiate a drum part

1. Select the drum part that you want to play.

2. When you touch the ribbon controller, the selected part will begin

playing automatically. The timing of the repeated notes will vary

depending on the location you touch. The speed of the repetition

will depend on the specified tempo.

If ARP CONTROL (☞p.75) is set to “Revers,” the slider will vary the

timing of the notes.

To arpeggiate a synth part

1. Select the synth part that you want to play.

2. Use the step keys to specify the pitches that you want to arpeggiate.

For example if you want to arpeggiate C–E–G, hold down the C key

and press the E and G keys.

3. When you touch the ribbon controller, the sound of the selected part

will play automatically. The gate time will change depending on

where the ribbon is touched. The speed will depend on the tempo.

The notes played by the arpeggiator will be retriggered each time

you (release and then) touch the ribbon controller. If you hold down

the SHIFT key, the arpeggiator will not retrigger when you release

and then touch the ribbon controller.

4. Operate the slider to change the pitch within the scale specified by

“ARPEGGIO SCALE.”

If you want, you can exchange the functions of the ribbon controller

and the slider. (☞p.75 “Exchanging the arpeggiator functions”)

Specifying the center note

When using the arpeggiator with a synth part, you can specify the

note that will correspond to the center of the slider (i.e., the “center

note”). This setting is also saved when you save the pattern.

1. Press the Pattern mode key.

2. Select one of the synth parts, and turn on the keyboard function.

3. Use the [ ][ ] select keys to specify the pitch range, and press the

step key that you want to be the center note (press only one key).

4. Save the pattern.

4. Pattern mode

Editing sounds

For each drum part, you can select a drum sound wave, or sample. For each synth

part, you can select a synth oscillator model.

You can then edit the sound of each part using the oscillator, level, and pan knobs,

and the effect and amp EG keys.

Sounds can be edited even while the pattern is playing. You can also use an ex-

ternal MIDI device to control the values of each knob (☞p.79 “ MIDI mode”).

If you want to keep the sound that you modified, save it in the current pattern

by pressing the WRITE/RENAME key (☞p.64 “Saving a pattern”).

The available knobs will differ depending on the part. If you find it

difficult to edit the sound because a motion sequence is affecting a

knob, you can turn motion sequence off while editing (☞p.58 “Mo-

tion sequence”).

LEVEL .......................................................................... 0...127

Sets the output level. Turning the knob toward the right will increase

the level.

AMP EG .........................................................................

Switches the operation of the amp EQ. Each time you press this key,

the envelope type will alternate between (the volume will gradu-

ally decay over the time specified by EG TIME) and

will stop after the time specified by EG TIME).

(the sound

ROLL ...........................................................................On, Off

This enables (on) or disables (off) the Roll effect for each part.

The roll interval is determined by the tempo of the pattern, the Roll

Type, and the Swing setting (☞p.25 “Setting the Roll Type”).

If you hold down a part key when Roll is turned on, a roll will play

for as long as you hold down the key.

FX SELECT ......................................................... FX1, FX2, FX3

Here you can select which effect processor will be applied to the

part. The effect will switch each time you press the key. If the effect

send (FX SEND) is on, the selected effect will be applied. This does

not apply to parts whose output bus is set to 3/4. (☞p.26 “Assign-

ing the output of each part”)

FX SEND .....................................................................On, Off

This specifies whether the selected effect will be applied. The set-

ting will alternate on (lit) and off (dark) each time you press the key.

The FX SELECT setting selects the effects processor. This does not

apply to parts whose output bus is set to 3/4.

Modulation

These are the parameters that create time-varying change, such as

LFO and EG.

SPEED ......................................................................... 0...127

Adjusts the speed of modulation. If BPM SYNC is on, modulation

will synchronize to the tempo. The value will correspond to note

values of 8/1–1/64.

DEPTH ...................................................................... -63...+63

Adjusts the depth of modulation.

TYPE...................................................

Selects the type of modulation.

With settings other than EG, the modulation will vary cyclically. With

the EG setting, the effect will start at maximum and then decay

smoothly.

If the modulation type is “

”, triggering will not reset the phase

of the modulation. For other types, the phase of modulation will be

reset at each trigger.

DEST ............................................................ PITCH, AMP, PAN

Selects which parameter will receive the modulation effect.

BPM SYNC ..................................................................On, Off

When you turn this function on, the speed of the modulation effect

will be synchronized to the tempo. If this is lit (on), modulation will

be synchronized with the tempo.

Although you can independently edit the sounds of drum parts 6A

and 6B, and 7A and 7B, these sounds cannot be played simulta-

neously.

If the sound does not change when you turn a knob or switch a key,

it may be that the knob or key is not valid for the part you are editing,

or that a motion sequence (☞p.58 “Motion sequence”) is operating.

Editing the sound of a synth part

Synth oscillator

SYNTH OSCILLATOR TYPE .......................................................

Turn the OSCILLATOR TYPE knob to select the synth oscillator type.

You can choose from sixteen oscillator algorithms that include typi-

cal analog synthesizer waveforms and much, much more.

For details on each oscillator type, refer to the Oscillator Type List

(☞p.34).

Some combinations of oscillator pitch, WAVE, OSC EDIT 1, and OSC

EDIT 2 settings may produce noise.

WAVE ......................................................................... 1...(76)

This specifies the wave that will be assigned to the synth part. The

synth waves you can choose here will depend on the synth oscilla-

tor type (SYNTH OSCILLATOR TYPE) you selected.

1. Press the PART EDIT key (it will light).

2. Press the [ ] cursor key until the display shows “(wave name).”

(At the same time, the “WAVE” indicator will light in the lower right

of the display.)

3. Press the key for the synth part you wish to edit (the key will light).

The name of the wave assigned to that key will appear in the dis-

play.

4. Turn the KEYBOARD key on, and turn the dial to select a wave while

you press the step keys to hear the selected wave. The waves that

you can select will depend on the SYNTH OSCILLATOR type.

OSC EDIT1 .............................................................................

Adjusts a single pre-selected parameter for each oscillator type.

OSC EDIT2 .............................................................................

Adjusts a single pre-selected parameter for each oscillator type.

Some combinations of oscillator pitch, WAVE, OSC EDIT 1, and OSC

EDIT 2 settings may produce noise.

Synth filter

These controls are used to modify the tone and distort the wave-

form produced by the oscillator.

CUTOFF ...................................................................... 0...127

Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the filter. The result will depend on

the filter type that is selected.

For some settings, the sound may be distorted, or nearly inaudible.

EG INT ..................................................................... -63...+63

Specifies the depth and direction by which the EG (envelope gen-

erator) will vary the cutoff frequency. The EG will start the moment

the trigger turns on (or the moment you press the step key). If you

set the knob to the center position, it will have no effect.

If the gate time length of a step extends beyond the timing of the

next step, the EG will not be retriggered by the next step.

RESONANCE .............................................................. 0...127

Adds a distinctive character to the sound by boosting the region

near the cutoff frequency. By raising the resonance and then moving

the cutoff frequency knob or adjusting EG INT or EG TIME, you can

create the classic resonant filter sweep sound that is characteristic of

analog synthesizers.

If the resonance is excessively high, the sound may be distorted

depending on the cutoff frequency or on the pitch you play.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

DRIVE.......................................................................... 0...127

This is a new circuit that controls the amount of distortion intro-

duced by the filter. By adjusting this in conjunction with the cutoff

frequency and resonance of the synth filter to intentionally create

distortion, you can generate overtones that were not present in the

original waveform.

TYPE............................................................LPF, HPF, BPF, BPF+

Selects the type of filter.

LPF (Low Pass Filter): Cuts the high-frequency region, making the sound

more mellow.

HPF (High Pass Filter): Cuts the low-frequency region, making the sound

sharper.

BPF (Band Pass Filter): Outputs only the region in the area of the cutoff

frequency.

BPF+ (Band Pass Filter Plus): Adds the output of the band pass filter to

the original waveform.

Part Common parameters

EG TIME ...................................................................... 0...127

Specifies the decay time of the EG.

In order for this setting to have an effect, the AMP EG needs to be

set to “ ” and the filter EG INT needs to have a value other than 0.

GLIDE .......................................................................... 0...127

“Glide” (also called portamento) is a function that smoothly changes

the pitch from one legato note to the next without re-triggering the

note. Glide will also occur when the gate time of one note extends

past the note-on timing of the next note.

As you raise this value, it will take longer to arrive at the new pitch.

The pattern tempo determines the time from when the next note is

played until that pitch is reached.

The Glide effect is defeated if the ROLL key is on (lit).

PAN ......................................................................... L63...R63

LEVEL .......................................................................... 0...127

AMP EG .........................................................................

Switches the operation of the amp EG. The setting will change each

time you press the key.

Note on

Note off

The sound will decay to silence over the specified “EG

TIME.”

The EG will not cause the volume to decay.

ROLL ...........................................................................On, Off

SYNTH TUNE............................................................ -50...+50

If you want to adjust the pitch of a specific synth part, such as when

you are using two or more synth parts as layers, use this parameter

to adjust the pitch in units of one cent. Normally you will leave this

set at +00 (A=440 Hz).

If you want to adjust the tuning of the entire EMX-1, use the Global

mode parameter Master Tune instead of this.

Adjusting the OSC EDIT1 value will

modify the waveform as shown in the il-

that are produced. At a setting of 0 the

waveform will be a basic sine wave.

WAVE FORM

(Wave form)

OSC EDIT1: Waveform ..................................0...127

This continuously modifies the shape of the wave-

form. The waveform shape will change in the same

way for oscillator 1 and oscillator 2.

This oscillator type provides two oscillators whose waveform

you can modify continuously. OSC EDIT2 adjusts the pitch of

oscillator 2 (i.e., the pitch difference relative to oscillator 1), letting

you create detuned sounds or octave-doubled sounds.

OSC EDIT2: OSC2Ptch .............................. -63...+63

This adjusts the pitch of oscillator 2. A value of ±63 cre-

ates a pitch difference of ±2 octaves, and a value of 47

creates a pitch difference of ±1 octave. For values in the

region of 0, only the sound of oscillator 1 will be output.

Saw:

A sawtooth wave is the most widely used

waveform on an analog synthesizer. It is

suitable for creating a wide range of

sounds including synth basses and synth

leads. Adjusting the OSC EDIT1 value will

modify the waveform as shown in the il-

lustration below. At a setting of 0 the

waveform will be a standard sawtooth

wave, and at a setting of 127 it will be a

square wave.

DUAL OSC

(Dual oscillator)

This oscillator type provides two oscillators that output basic

waveforms. You can choose the combination of waveforms for

the two oscillators.

Pulse:

A pulse waveform produces a tone that is

often heard in electronic music. OSC

EDIT1 adjusts the pulse width. At a set-

ting of 0 the waveform will be a basic

square wave, and as you increase the set-

ting the pulse width will decrease, pro-

ducing a more clavi-like tone. At a setting

of 127 the pulse width will be 0, meaning

that there will be no sound. By selecting a

triangle wave as the modulation type and

applying modulation to OSC EDIT 1, you

can produce a PWM (Pulse Width Modu-

lation) effect, giving depth to the sound.

A triangle wave has a stronger fundamen-

tal and fewer overtones than a sawtooth

wave or pulse wave. It is suitable for mel-

low bass or arpeggiated sounds. Adjust-

ing the OSC EDIT1 value will modify the

waveform as shown in the illustration

below. At a setting of 0 the waveform will

be a basic triangle wave, and at a setting

of 127 it will be a triangle wave of one oc-

tave and a fifth higher.

Adjusts the pitch of oscillator 2. A value of ±63 creates a

pitch difference of ±2 octaves, and a value of 47 creates a

pitch difference of ±1 octave. With a value of 0, the pitch

will be the same as the pitch of oscillator 1.

Sin:

A sine wave contains only the fundamen-

making the sound thicker.

CHORD OSC

(Chord oscillator)

This oscillator type provides four oscillators that can output basic

waveforms. Using this, you can produce a chord of the form

specified by the OSC EDIT1 setting by playing just a single note.

Even at a Detune value of 0, the pitch of the os-

cillators will not be perfectly identical.

ADDITIVE OSC

(Additive oscillator) FORMANT OSC

(Formant oscillator)

The additive oscillator creates a waveform by adding three

oscillators. This is a good way to make organ or bell sounds.

The formant oscillator type can produce a sound reminiscent

of a human voice. By moving the formant width (OSC EDIT1)

you can change between different vowels.

downward in pitch.

OSC EDIT2: OSC3Harm ..................... 00.25...32.00

Specifies the pitch of oscillator 3 as a harmonic multiple

of oscillator 1.

NOISE OSC

(Noise oscillator)

The noise oscillator contains an internal noise generator and

filters, allowing you to create a variety of noise sounds. Since

the filters resonate to oscillation, you can also use this to cre-

ate pitched sounds.

COMB OSC

(Comb oscillator)

This oscillator type contains an internal comb filter, and modifies

a basic waveform by passing it through the comb filter to change

the tone. By using the LFO to modulate the frequency (OSC EDIT2)

of the comb filter, you can create the same result as a flanger

effect.

discontinuous at the transition between chords. If

you adjust the Transpose (☞p.24) or song mode

Note Offset (☞p.68) settings, the chord or octave

may be different from what you heard while creat-

ing the pattern.

PCM OSC+COMB

(PCM oscillator + comb filter)

This oscillator type lets you use one of the 76 PCM (sampled)

waveforms as an oscillator. The wide variety of waveforms in-

cludes acoustic instruments and chords. The sound is then output

through a comb filter.

AUDIO IN+COMB

Comb Pitch

Effects

Using the effects

The EMX-1 contains three separate effect processors. For each pattern, you can

use up to any three of the sixteen effect types. The sound of each part can be sent

to any one of the effect processors. You can also change the way in which the three

effects are connected to each other, and in this way apply more than one effect to

a part.

To apply an effect

1. Either begin playback, or if you are editing a synth part, turn the

KEYBOARD key on (lit) so that you can play the sound.

2. Press a drum or synth part key to select the part to which you want

to apply an effect.

3. In the edit section / part common area, press the FX SELECT key to

select the effect processor that you want to use. Press the FX SEND

key (lit) to send the sound of that part to the selected effect proces-

sor.

4. In the edit section, press the effect FX CHAIN key to select how the

effects will be connected.

You can turn effects on/off individually for each part. However if two

or more parts are being sent to the same effect, you cannot change

the effect type or effect parameter values individually for each part.

To edit an effect

EDIT SELECT ...........................................................................

Press this key to select the effect that you want to edit.

EFFECT TYPE ...........................................................................

Use this knob to assign one of the 16 effect types to the currently

selected effect processor.

effect type.

FX EDIT2.................................................................................

Adjusts the character of the effect. The result will depend on the

effect type.

FX CHAIN ..............................................................................

Specifies how the effects are connected. Each time you press this,

the connection will change; connections whose indicator is lit will

be active.

1. In the edit section, press the effect EDIT SELECT key to select which

effect processor you want to edit.

2. In the edit section, use the effect type selector to select the desired

effect type.

3. Use the effect knobs and keys to edit the effect. The original value

icon will light to indicate that knob positions and key settings are

the same as in the unedited effect.

If you want to save the pattern with the effect edits you made here,

press the WRITE/RENAME key (☞p.64 “Saving a pattern”).

The function of the knobs will differ depending on the effect type

(☞p.43 “Effect parameters”).

Depending on the tempo setting, some long delay

times may not be available. In this case, the delay

time will be halved, and may be halved again if

necessary.

The feedback sound may disappear if you turn the

TIME knob or change the BPM while producing

sound.

Depending on the tempo setting, some short de-

lay times may not be available. In this case, the

delay time will be doubled, and may be doubled

again if necessary.

GRAIN SHIFTER

(Grain shifter)

This effect samples an extremely brief portion of the sound at

a certain interval, and repeatedly plays back this brief sample.

It is effective when applied to a constantly-changing source such

as Audio In.

If you lower the time value too far, the sound may

distort (clip).

FX EDIT1: Speed............................................1...127

Specifies the sampling interval and the sampling time.

The sampling interval is synchronized to the number of

steps in the sequencer. When the BPM changes, the length

per step will also change, so the sampling interval will

change together with this.

PHASER

(Phaser)

The following table shows how the sampling interval cor-

responds with the speed value.

This effect creates a sense of modulation by cyclically varying

the phase of the sound and mixing this phase-shifted sound with

the original sound.

SPEED

the right will give the sound a stronger sense of modula-

tion.

8/3

If the depth setting is too high, distortion may oc-

cur for some input sounds.

4/3

If you set the speed setting at 0, the LFO will stop

at that position (phase). The position (phase) at

which the LFO stops is not written into the pat-

tern/song data. In addition, the state (phase) of

the LFO is reset when you switch to this effect

from a different effect type.This means that a pat-

tern/song for which you selected this effect, set

the speed to 0, and wrote the settings into memory

may sound differently the next time you select the

pattern/song.

9/10 ... 1/10 (in 21 steps)

Even if the sampling interval is in the same re-

gion, increasing the SPEED value will shorten the

sampling time.

If the speed is set to a low value and this effect is

played back continuously for an extended time, the

high-frequency portion of the playback will gradu-

ally diminish, causing the tone to become softer.

FX EDIT2: Balance .........................................0...127

Adjusts the balance of the effect sound and direct sound.

Turning the knob toward the right will increase the effect

sound and decrease the direct sound.

RING MOD

(Ring modulator)

This effect modulates the sound to give it a metallic character

or turn it into a special-effect.

If the speed setting is low, the sampling interval

will be long, meaning that if you play the keyboard

etc. manually at a moment in which sampling is

not being performed, you will not hear any sound.

FX EDIT1: OSCFreq. ......................................0...127

Specifies the frequency used to apply modulation. Turn-

ing the knob toward the right raises the frequency.

FX EDIT2: Balance .........................................0...127

Adjusts the balance between the effect sound and direct

sound. Turning the knob toward the right increases the

effect sound and decreases the direct sound.

CHO/FLG

(Chorus/flanger)

Chorus and flanger are effects that modulate the pitch of a slightly-

delayed sound and add this to the original sound to create a

swirling sensation or a sense of spaciousness.

FX EDIT1: Speed............................................0...127

Adjusts the speed of the chorus/flanger LFO. Turning the

knob toward the right will speed up the LFO.

TALKING MOD

(Talking modulator)

This effect adds vowel formants to the input sound.

FX EDIT1: Formant .........................................0...127

Specifies the formant.

FX EDIT2: Depth ............................................0...127

Adjusts the depth of the chorus/flanger effect. Turning

the knob toward the right will change the effect from cho-

rus to flanger.

As you turn the knob clockwise from 0 to 127, the formant

will change smoothly between [a]-[e]-[i]-[o]-[u].

FX EDIT2: Offset .......................................... -63...63

If the depth setting is too high, distortion may oc-

cur for some input sounds.

Specifies the pitch of the formant frequency.

If you set the speed setting at 0, the LFO will stop

at that position (phase). The position (phase) at

which the LFO stops is not written into the pat-

PITCH SHIFTER

(Pitch shifter)

of a higher bit depth.

This effect modifies the pitch.

If the input volume is very low, there may be no

audio output at all.

FX EDIT1: Pitch .................................. -2400...+2400

Specifies the amount of pitch change in units of cents.

When the knob is in the center position, the pitch of the

input sound will not be changed. Turning the knob to-

ward the left will lower the pitch, and toward the right

will raise the pitch. The range is ±2 octaves.

(Equalizer)

This equalizer boosts/cuts the low and high-frequency regions

of the sound.

FX EDIT1: LowGain ...................................... -63...63

The volume of the low-frequency region will be cut when

the knob is turned toward the left, flat when the knob is

in the center position, and boosted when the knob is turned

toward the right.

FX EDIT2: Balance .........................................0...127

Adjusts the balance between the effect sound and direct

sound. Turning the knob toward the right increases the

effect sound and decreases the direct sound.

FX EDIT2: HighGain .................................... -63...63

The volume of the high-frequency region will be cut when

the knob is turned toward the left, flat when the knob is

in the center position, and boosted when the knob is turned

toward the right.

COMPRESSOR

(Compressor)

A compressor boosts low-level sounds and reduces high-level

sounds, decreasing variations in volume and making the sound

more consistent. This compressor automatically detects the levels

of the L and R input signals, and responds to the louder of the

two.

For some input sounds, high gain settings may

cause distortion.

FX EDIT1: Sens ..............................................0...127

(Sensitivity)

LPF

(Low Pass Filter)

Adjusts the sensitivity of the compressor.

This is a low pass filter with resonance.

FX EDIT2: Attack............................................0...127

Adjusts the speed at which the compressor begins to ap-

ply. Turning the knob toward the right will slow down

the attack.

FX EDIT1: Cutoff ............................................0...127

Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the low pass filter. Turn-

ing the knob toward the right will raise the cutoff fre-

quency.

FX EDIT2: Resonance .....................................0...127

Boosts the region of the cutoff frequency, giving the sound

a distinctive character. Turning the knob toward the right

will increase the resonance.

DISTORTION

(Distortion)

This effect drastically boosts the level to create distortion, pro-

ducing a richer overtone structure.

High resonance settings may cause distortion de-

pending on the cutoff frequency and the input

sound.

FX EDIT1: Gain .............................................0...127

Adjusts the degree of distortion. Turning the knob toward

the right will produce more intense distortion.

FX EDIT2: Level ..............................................0...127

Editing sequence data

Here’s how to edit patterns that you have recorded or patterns that are saved in

memory.

If you want to keep the changes you made to a pattern, you must

perform the Write/Rename operation before you select another pat-

tern or turn off the power.

Editing a phrase pattern (Note Edit)

When using Step Recording, you record the trigger and note number simultaneously,

but cannot set the gate time in detail. If you want to be more precise, you can readjust

the trigger or note number, and adjust the gate time. A phrase pattern for a synth

part consists of the following three items of data. You can adjust each of these three

items for each step.

Trigger: whether the part will sound at this step

Note number: the pitch that will be sounded

Gate time: the duration that will be sounded

Selecting the step you want to edit

First you will select the step that you want to edit. The step to which

your editing will apply is called the “target step.”

STEP REC ............................................................... 1.01...8.16

1. Press the STEP REC key (it will light).

Press the [ ] cursor key until the parameter display reads “Step

Rec.” The value display will show the target step.

2. Turn the dial to select the target step.

If the KEYBOARD key is off at this time, the step key that corre-

sponds to the target step will blink.

If the pattern length is 2 or greater, you can hold down the SHIFT key

and turn the dial to advance by one unit of length.

As an alternative to using the dial, you can also select the target step

in the following ways.

— Hold down the SHIFT key and press a select key to move for-

ward or backward one step at a time.

— When the KEYBOARD key is off, you can press a step key to

select the step that corresponds to that key.

If the pattern length is 2 or greater, you can use the select keys to switch

the select LEDs (red) and move the target step in units of one length.

The maximum number of steps will depend on the length, beat, and

last step setting.

When the KEYBOARD key is on, the step keys will not indicate the

target step.

Editing the trigger locations (the location of the notes)

1. Press the PATTERN key or PART EDIT key (it will light).

2. Press the synth part key that you want to edit. (The key will light.)

3. Turn the KEYBOARD key off (dark).

5. The step keys will indicate the trigger locations for the phrase pat-

tern of the part you selected.

6. Press the step key for the location whose note number you want to

edit (the key will blink).

7. Turn the dial to change the note number for that step. Alternatively,

you can turn the KEYBOARD key on, and press a step key to specify

the desired note number. If you then want to specify a different tar-

get step for editing, turn the KEYBOARD key off temporarily.

While the display indicates “Note No.,” pressing the step keys will

not switch triggers on/off.

Even if you edit the note number of a step whose trigger is off, it will

not sound until you turn the trigger on.

If you want to transpose a part, use the Shift Note function. (☞p.55

“

Transposing the pitch of a synth phrase part”)

Editing the gate time

GATE TIME .......................................................... 0.25...128.0

1. Press the STEP EDIT key (it will light).

2. Use the [ ][ ] cursor keys to select “GateTime” in the display.

3. Press the synth part key that you want to edit. (The key will light.)

4. Turn the KEYBOARD key off (dark).

5. The step keys will indicate the trigger locations for the phrase pat-

tern of the part you selected.

6. Press the step key for the location whose gate time you want to edit

(the key will blink).

7. Turn the dial to change the gate time for that step. The value shown

in the display is the gate time length in units of a step. For example,

a gate time setting of “1.0” means that the gate time will be exactly

as long as one step.

If the gate time length extends into the timing of the next note, the

next note will be played legato; the oscillator, EG, and modulation

will not be retriggered.

While the display indicates the gate time, pressing the step keys will

not switch triggers on/off.

Even if you edit the gate time of a step whose trigger is off, it will not

sound until you turn the trigger on.

Specifying the length and time signature

of a pattern

Here’s how the Length, Beat (time signature), and Last Step are related.

On the EMX-1, the total number of measures (or bars) in a pattern is called the

“length.” The number of steps (or beats) in one of these measures is designated

as the “last step.” The type of note that is counted as a step is called the “beat.”

If you select “8Tri” or “16Tri” as the beat, the last step will automatically be set

to 12, meaning that step keys 13–16 will have no function. If you select “16” or

“32” as the beat, the last step will be automatically set to 16. You can set any step

in a pattern to be the last step.

To check the length and beat

With the pattern stopped, hold down the SHIFT key. The upper line

of select LEDs (green) will indicate the current pattern length in

measures, and the lower line of select LEDs (red) will indicate the

beat setting.

The following diagram shows how the step keys, notes and maxi-

mum number of steps are related.

Setting the last step

You can set the “Last Step” if you need to create a pattern of an

irregular time signature. For example if you want to create a pattern

that contains eleven beats per measure, set Last Step to 11, so that

each length of the pattern will be 11 steps.

Normally, Last Step will be 16 (it will be 16 if you have selected a

16th note or 32nd note beat), but will be 12 if you selected a beat that

contains triplets, or yet a different value if you have specified an

irregular time signature as described above. The step keys that lie

beyond the Last Step do nothing.

LAST STEP ..................................................................... 1...16

1. If the EMX-1 is playing, press the STOP/CANCEL key to stop play-

back.

2. Press the PATTERN key (it will light).

3. Hold down the SHIFT key and press step key 1. The key will blink,

and the parameter display will read “LastStep.”

4. Turn the dial to set the Last Step, and press step key 1 (key 1 will go

dark).

If you decide to cancel without setting the Last Step, press the STOP/

CANCEL key.

5. If you want to keep the pattern you edited, press the WRITE/RE-

NAME key. (☞p.64 “Saving a pattern”)

If you change the beat, Last Step will be reset to 16 or 12.

Last Step is a function that is unique to the EMX-1; if you are playing

the EMX-1 in synchronization with an external sequencer or a differ-

ent model of the Electribe series, regions where you have used an

irregular time signature will not be synchronized.

If you specify a Last Step that is shorter than the original number of

steps, the note data that existed beyond the last step will be masked,

and will not play back. If you change the Last Step back to its previ-

ous setting, this note data will be unmasked, and will play as before.

The valid steps are determined by the Beat Length and

Last Step of each pattern.

Data that is moved beyond the ending step of a pattern

will be “wrapped around” to the first step. For example

*The amount by which you can move steps will depend on the Length

and on the Last Step setting.

Motion sequence

What is a motion sequence?

The EMX-1 has a Motion Sequence function that lets you record and

playback realtime changes made to the knobs and keys (☞“Record-

ing a motion sequence”).

There are two types of motion sequence; one type for effects and

one type for each of the parts.

The knobs and keys that can be recorded using a motion sequence

are listed below. You can record a total of twenty-four effect and

part motion sequences in each pattern.

Effects (FX1, FX2, FX3)

FX EDIT1, FX EDIT2

Drum parts (1–7B)

The Part Common parameters PITCH, EG TIME, PAN, LEVEL, AMP

EFFECT, ROLL, FX SEND, FX SELECT; and the Modulation param-

eters SPEED, DEPTH, BPM SYNC, MOD TYPE, MOD DEST

Synth parts (1–5)

The Part Common parameters GLIDE, EG TIME, PAN, LEVEL, AMP

EG, ROLL, FX SEND, FX SELECT; the Modulation parameters

SPEED, DEPTH, MOD TYPE, MOD DEST; the Synth Oscillator pa-

rameter OSC EDIT 1, OSC EDIT 2; and the Synth Filter parameters

CUTOFF, EG INT, RESONANCE, DRIVE, FILTER TYPE

Accent parts

The Part Common parameter LEVEL

Recording a motion sequence

Here’s how to record a motion sequence (knob or key movements) for a part or

effect.

To record a motion sequence for a part, select the desired part, and

then turn on the motion sequence key of the part common section to

select either SMOOTH or TRIG HOLD.

To record a motion sequence for an effect, turn on the motion se-

quence key of the effect section.

In the following example we will record a motion sequence for the

pitch of a drum part.

If you re-record a knob for which a motion sequence has already

been recorded, the previous data will be erased.

1. In Pattern mode, select the pattern that you want to edit.

2. Press a drum part key to select the part that you want to edit.

3. Press the motion sequence key to select either SMOOTH or TRIG

HOLD.

4. Press the REC key to enter record-ready mode. The REC key will

light and the PLAY/PAUSE key will blink.

5. Press the PLAY/PAUSE key to start the pattern. The REC key and

PLAY/PAUSE key will light.

6. Move the pitch knob as desired until the pattern completes one cycle.

7. When the pattern has played for exactly one cycle after you began

moving the knob, the REC key will automatically go dark and the

pattern will resume playing back, allowing you to hear the motion

sequence that you recorded.

4. Pattern mode

If you press the STOP/CANCEL key to stop playback and then save

the pattern as described in “Saving a pattern,” the motion sequence

data you recorded will be saved together with the pattern.

You can record a maximum of twenty-four motion sequences in each

pattern.

Playing a motion sequence

You can play back a motion sequence in one of the two modes described below.

The playback mode can be selected independently for each part.

Effect motion sequences will always play back using the SMOOTH mode of a part

motion sequence. Motion sequences for an accent part will always play back using

the TRIG HOLD mode.

AMP EG, ROLL, FX SELECT, FX SEND, MOD TYPE, MOD DEST,

BPM SYNC, and SYNTH FILTER TYPE motion sequences will al-

ways play back using TRIG HOLD even if SMOOTH is selected.

SMOOTH: Knob movements will be played back smoothly, you will

here the effect of the knob being turned even as a single note

is sustained.

TRIG HOLD (trigger hold): Each new note being triggered will “hold”

the motion sequence knob value as it was when the note

was first triggered.

Pattern Set

What is Pattern Set?

Pattern Set is a function that lets you assign a favorite pattern to

each of the sixteen step keys, and select these patterns by pressing

the appropriate key. This gives you an easy way to switch between

favorite patterns while performing. There are eight Pattern Groups,

and each one can hold sixteen of your favorite patterns. You can

also use the Chain Play function with Pattern Set to play your favor-

ite patterns as a loop.

You can assign any pattern you choose to the pattern set (☞p.63

“Assigning a pattern in the pattern set”).

You cannot use Pattern Set in Song mode.

If you switch patterns during playback, the change will occur at the

end of the currently-playing pattern (☞p.20 “About the timing at which

patterns will change”).

Performing with a Pattern Set

When you use Pattern Set Play, operations such as the timing at which

patterns change, tempo adjustments, and Reset & Play will function

in the same way as in Pattern Play mode.

1. Press the PLAY/PAUSE key to begin playback.

2. By holding down the Pattern Set key and pressing a step key, you

can select the pattern that is assigned to that step key.

By holding down the Pattern Set key and using the [ ][ ] select

keys, you can switch to a different pattern set group. One of the

lower row of select LEDs will light (red) to indicate the current pat-

tern set group.

By holding down the shift key and pressing the Pattern Set key, you

can “hold” the Pattern Set function (the key will blink). To defeat

the “held” state, press the Pattern Set key once again (the key will

go dark).

DRUM PART key

You cannot use Pattern Set while recording. Pattern Set will be de-

feated when you enter record (or record-ready) mode.

While the Pattern Set key is blinking, the step keys are used to con-

trol the Pattern Set function; this means that the Keyboard function

will not be available.

Saving a pattern

If you want to keep a pattern that you edited or created, you must perform the

Write/Rename operation explained below. When you perform the Write/Rename

operation, the “Copying data within a pattern” operation will be performed

automatically depending on the length of the pattern.

Copying a pattern

You can use the Write operation to copy a pat-

tern to a different pattern number than the cur-

rently selected program.

If you decide not to save a pattern you create

Simply switch patterns without performing the Write/Rename operation.

Saving by overwriting an existing pattern

1. Press the WRITE/RENAME key.

The parameter display will indicate “WriteTo,” and the value dis-

play will indicate “(the save-destination pattern number).” At this time

you can press the SHIFT key to change the display from “(the save-

destination pattern number)” to the corresponding “(six characters of

the pattern name).”

To overwrite onto a different pattern

Use the dial to change the pattern number to the desired save-desti-

nation. Be sure to select a pattern number that does not contain im-

portant data you want to keep.

2. Press the WRITE/RENAME key to begin saving. The WRITE/RE-

NAME key will light while the data is being saved, and will go dark

when the operation is completed. If you decide to cancel, press the

STOP/CANCEL key. When the data has been saved, the save-desti-

nation pattern number will be selected.

Be aware that when you write a pattern in this way, the pattern data

in the save-destination will be overwritten.

You will not be able to write if the Global mode Memory Protect set-

ting (☞p.75 “Protecting the data in memory”) is on. In this case, turn

off the Global mode Memory Protect setting before you write.When

shipped from the factory, memory protect is turned on.

5. Song mode

Each song consists of patterns arranged in a particular playback order. You can

create and store up to 64 songs in the EMX-1. In addition to the pattern playback,

event recording allows you to record drum part performance, synth phrase per-

formance, arpeggiator performance, knob movements, solo/mute operations and

tempo changes into a song.

Edited sounds cannot be stored in a song. You must use Pattern

mode to edit sounds.

What is a Song?

A song is an arrangement of patterns in the desired order of play-

back. On the EMX-1, you can create and store up to 64 songs. In each

song, you can arrange up to 256 patterns, and also record rhythms,

phrases, and movements of the sound editing knobs.

What is the Position?

On the EMX-1, “position” refers to a particular place in the order of

patterns that are recorded/played within a song; this is the unit by

which you will edit a song.

Event recording

Recording song event data

In addition to letting you arrange patterns to create a song, the EMX-1’s Song mode

also lets you record your realtime performances using the drum pad keys, the

keyboard function, the arpeggiator, and knob operations.

Recording your Song mode performance and operations in this way is referred

to as Event Recording.

Event Recording can record the following six types of data (event data).

•

Your performance on the drum part keys

Your performance using the Keyboard function

Your performance using the arpeggiator

Your knob movements and key operations (only for the selected part)

Solo and mute operations for the parts

Tempo

When using Event Recording, you can record repeatedly over the same region,

and layer more of the above-listed data on each “pass” of recording. Event Re-

cording will replace (overwrite) only the previously-existing data that is the same

type of event as the newly recorded data. Existing events of other types will re-

main.

To record using Event Recording

1. Select the song on which you want to use Event Recording.

2. Use the [ ]/[ ] cursor keys to select “Position” in the display.

3. Use the dial or the select keys to move to the position where you

want to start recording.

4. Press the REC key, and then press the PLAY/PAUSE key to start

Event Recording.

5. Operate the step keys or knobs etc. to record your performance.

6. Press the STOP/CANCEL key to stop Event Recording.

If the performance data of the song conflicts with event data, the

event data will be given priority for playback.

Knob movements recorded in Song mode using Event Recording

are played back in a way equivalent to the SMOOTH mode of a mo-

tion sequence (not TRIG HOLD mode).

If you want to save the data that was recorded by Event Recording,

you must perform the W rite operation.

Event data may not play back correctly if you r ewind the song.

If you operate an event-recorded knob during playback, event data of that

knob will be cancelled until playback arrives at the next position.

To erase event data from a song

You can erase event data from a song by holding down the SHIFT

key and pressing and holding the RESET/ERASE key for the region

that you want to erase. All event data in that region will be erased

from the song.

To check the event data in a song

When you hold down the SHIFT key and press the MOTION SEQ

key of the part common section, step keys 15 and 16 will light if

event data is recorded in the song, and the display will indicate

“SongEvnt” to show the number of events recorded in the currently

selected song.

You cannot check event data in this way during playback or r ecord-

ing.

Saving a song

If you want to keep song data that you created, you must perform this Write/Rename

operation. If you don’t want to keep the song you created, simply switch songs

without performing Write/Rename.

Be aware that when you save a song, the song that had previously

occupied the save-destination will be overwritten.

To simply save the song

1. Press the WRITE/RENAME key.

The parameter display will indicate “WriteTo,” and the value dis-

play will indicate “(the save-destination song number).”

At this time you can press the SHIFT key to change the display from

“(the save-destination song number)” to the corresponding “(six char-

acters of the Song name).”

To overwrite onto a different song

Use the dial to change the song number to the desired save-destina-

tion. Be sure to select a song number that does not contain impor-

tant data you want to keep.

2. Press the WRITE/RENAME key to begin saving. The WRITE/RE-

NAME key will light while the data is being saved, and will go dark

when the operation is completed. If you decide to cancel, press the

STOP/CANCEL key.

When the data has been saved, the save-destination song number

will be selected.

To rename and save the song

1. Hold down the shift key and press the WRITE/RENAME key once

(the key will blink). The parameter display will indicate “Rename,”

and the value display will show “(six characters of the song name)”

2. Assign a name to the song. Use the [ ]/[ ] cursor keys to move

the cursor in the value display to the left or right, and turn the dial

to edit the character. You can assign a name of up to eight characters

to a song, however only six at a time are visible during naming.

When you have finished, press the WRITE/RENAME key.

3. Select the song number where you want to save the song. The pa-

rameter display will indicate “WriteTo,” and the value display will

show “(the save-destination song number).” If you now press the shift

key, the “(save destination song number)” will change to show “(six

characters of the song name).” Turn the dial to select the song number

where you want to store the song, and make sure that you will not

be overwriting an important song that you want to keep.

4. Press the WRITE/RENAME key once again to begin saving the data.

The key will light while the data is being saved, and will go dark

when saving is completed. If you decide to cancel, press the STOP/

CANCEL key.

With the factory settings, the Memory Pr otect setting is turned on,

so the data will not be saved. Turn the Global mode Memory Pr otect

setting off before you execute this operation (☞p.75 “Protecting the

data in memory”).

Saving your Global mode

settings

Using SmartMedia™

You can use a SmartMedia card to save or load the EMX-

1’s internal data.

Here’s how to save the settings you made in Global mode

and MIDI mode. If you want to keep the changes you made,

you must execute the Write operation described below. The

settings you save will take effect each time you turn on the

power. If you don’t want to keep the changes you made,

simply turn off the power without executing Write.

1. Press the Global mode or MIDI mode key.

The EMX-1 uses 3V (3.3V) SmartMedia in a range of 4 MB~128

MB capacity.

Make sure that the SmartMedia card is oriented in the correct

direction, and insert it all the way into the SmartMedia slot.

SmartMedia^TMis a registered trademark of Toshiba Corporation.

2. Press the WRITE/RENAME key once (the key will

blink). The display will ask “GloblWr?” Use the dial

to select “Yes,” and press the WRITE/RENAME

key once again to begin saving the data. While the

data is being saved, the WRITE/RENAME key will

light, and will go dark when saving is completed.

If you decide to cancel, select “No” or press the

STOP/CANCEL key.

You can write Global mode and MIDI mode set-

tings regardless of the Memory Protect setting (see

above).

Never turn off the power while data is being saved

to memory (i.e., while the WRITE/RENAME key is

lit). Doing so can destroy the data.

Never remove the card or turn off the power while

the SmartMedia card is being accessed (while the

card indicator is lit).Doing so may damage the card.

About cards

The EMX-1 supports 3.3V SmartMedia (or

SmartMedia with ID) in a range of 4–128 MB ca-

pacities. Never use any other type of SmartMedia;

the EMX-1 may stop operating if you do. If you

affix a write protect label (the round silver label) to

the SmartMedia, it will not be possible to write or

erase the data on that card. If you want to save data

by writing it to SmartMedia, you must remove the

write protect label.

Write protect sticker

Handling precautions

— Do not bend the card, or subject it to strong impact

or high temperature.

— Do not touch the electrical contacts of the card.

Static charges may damage the card. When you are

finished using a card, store it in its special anti-static

case.

7. MIDI mode

About note-on/note-off

When you press a drum part key, a note-on mes-

sage of the note number assigned to each drum part

key will be transmitted on the specified MIDI chan-

nel.

When you use the Keyboard function to play the

step keys, a note-on message [9n, kk, vv] (n: chan-

nel, kk: note number, vv: velocity) of the note num-

ber assigned to each step key and a velocity value

corresponding to the strength with which you

pressed the key will be transmitted.

On the EMX-1, the vv:velocity value is adjusted by

the level of each accent part. When you release a

key, a note-off message [8n, kk, vv] will be trans-

mitted. However, very few devices receive note-

off velocity data, and the EMX-1 does not transmit

it. When the EMX-1 receives note-on/off messages

on the MIDI channel assigned for a part, that part

will be sounded.

6. Press step key 12 and the display will ask “Con-

tinue?” If you want to make settings for another

knob, use the dial to select “Yes” and press step

key 12. Then repeat steps 4 and 5.

If you are finished making settings, use the dial to

select “No” and press step key 12 to return to MIDI

mode.

If you decide to cancel, press the STOP/CANCEL

key or press any mode key.

Support for control change numbers will be differ-

ent for each manufacturer. Refer to the manual of

the device you want to connect.

If the EMX-1’s MIDI filter “N” setting is set to “x,”

note-on/off messages will not be transmitted or re-

ceived. (☞p.80 “Making MIDI filter settings”)

other EMX-1, a MIDI data filer, or a personal com-

puter that is running a MIDI data management

program) to the MIDI IN connector of the EMX-1.

2. Set your external MIDI device and the EMX-1 to

the same MIDI channel (the synth part 1 setting on

the EMX-1). If you are transmitting data from a data

filer, use the same channel setting as when you

saved the data.

Transmitting sound settings and

Transmitting/receiving a data

dump

Data dumps are transmitted and received on the

MIDI channel specified by the MIDI mode MIDI

Ch setting. Data dumps can be transmitted manu-

ally as described below, and are also transmitted

in response to a Data Dump Request message of

the appropriate type.

MIDI DUMP ........... PtBnkA...D, AllSng, Global

For details on data dumps, refer to the EMX-1’s MIDI

implementation. If you wish to obtain the MIDI imple-

mentation, please contact Korg distributor.

Transmission

Here’s how to transmit an EMX-1 system exclusive

data dump (pattern, song, or global mode settings)

from MIDI OUT to a connected MIDI data filer or

computer.

Do not touch the EMX-1’s keys while a data dump

is being executed. While you are using the Dump

function, the EMX-1 can transmit or receive sys-

tem exclusive data even if the MIDI FILTER pa-

rameter “E” is set to “x.”

1. Connect the EMX-1’s MIDI OUT connector to the

MIDI IN connector of an external MIDI device that

is able to receive the MIDI data dump (e.g., another

EMX-1, a MIDI data filer, or a personal computer

that is running a MIDI data management program).

2. Set your external MIDI device and the EMX-1 to

the same MIDI channel. If you are transmitting to

a MIDI data filer, you do not normally need to set

the MIDI channel to match.

3. Press the MIDI key (the key will light).

4. Hold down the shift key and press step key 12

(MIDI UTILITY) (key 12 will light). The parameter

display will indicate “MIDIUtil.”

When the EMX-1 receives a data dump, it will take

up to ten seconds for the data to be written into

memory (the Write/Rename key will light). Never

turn off the EMX-1’s power while this is occurring.

Doing so may destroy the data.Also, new MIDI data

cannot be received during this time. When receiv-

ing two or more data dumps into the EMX-1, you

must allow an appropriate interval of time between

each data dump.

5. The value display will indicate “Filter.” Turn the

dial to change this to “Dump,” and press key 12.

6. The parameter display will indicate “MIDIDump.”

The value display will read “(data to be transmit-

ted).” Turn the dial to select the data that you want

to transmit.

Switching patterns

When you switch patterns, the EMX-1 will transmit a pro-

gram change message [Cn, pp] (and Bank Select [Bn, 00, mm]

(control change #00), [Bn, 20, bb] (control change #32) (mm:

bank number upper byte, bb: bank number lower byte).

If the EMX-1 receives a program change message on the ap-

propriate MIDI channel, it will switch patterns within the

same group (e.g., from A01 to A02). If the EMX-1 receives

a bank select message, it will switch groups (e.g., from A01

to C01) so that patterns of another group can be selected.

The MIDI mode MIDI Filter setting determines whether the

EMX-1 will transmit and receive program changes.

Setting the pitch bend range

Synchronizing playback with

an external MIDI device

When the EMX-1 receives a pitch bend message [En, vv, vv]

(vv, vv: lower and upper bytes of the value, together express-

ing a range of 16384 steps with 8192 [vv,vv=00H, 40H]), pitch

bend will be applied to the synth part receiving on that chan-

nel. The bend range setting described below specifies the

amount of pitch change that will actually occur in response

to MIDI pitch bend messages.

You can synchronize the tempo of the EMX-1 to the tempo

of an external MIDI device that is able to send or receive

MIDI clock data.

For details on synchronization settings on your external MIDI

device, refer to the manual for that device.

We recommend that you use the EMX-1 as the

master.

Setting the pitch bend range

BEND RANGE .................................. -12...12

Here’s how to specify the maximum amount of

pitch change that can occur when a MIDI pitch bend

message is received.

CLOCK ...................................... Int, Ext, Auto

Int:

The EMX-1 will be the master; the exter-

nal MIDI device will synchronize to it.

The external MIDI device will be the

master; the EMX-1 will synchronize to it.

If MIDI clock messages are being received

from a connected external MIDI device,

the EMX-1 will automatically operate

with the “Ext” setting. Otherwise it will

operate with the “Int” setting.

1. Press the MIDI key (the key will light).

2. Press the [ ] key to change the display to read

“BendRnge.”

3. Turn the dial to select the range of pitch change. A

setting of ±1 allows a semitone of change, ±2 a

whole step, ±7 a fifth, and ±12 one octave.

For some sounds, it may not be possible to raise

the pitch all the way in the specified range.

Ext:

Auto:

To use the EMX-1 as the master, and synchronize an

external MIDI device to it

1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the EMX-1’s MIDI OUT

connector to the MIDI IN connector of your exter-

nal MIDI device (e.g., sequencer or sound module).

2. Press the MIDI key (it will light).

3. Press the [ ] cursor key to change the display to

read “Clock.”

4. Turn the dial to select “Int” (internal clock).

5. Make settings on your external MIDI device (slave)

so that it will receive MIDI clock messages.

6. When you start playback on the EMX-1, the exter-

nal MIDI device will operate in synchronization

with it.

When you use RESET/PLAY to play back from the

beginning of the pattern, only the MIDI Start mes-

sage will be transmitted.

To use the external MIDI device as the master, and syn-

chronize the EMX-1 to it

1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the EMX-1’s MIDI IN

connector to the MIDI OUT connector of your ex-

ternal MIDI device (e.g., sequencer or synthesizer).

2. Press the MIDI key (it will light).

3. Press the [ ] cursor key to change the display to

read “Clock.”

4. Turn the dial to select “Ext” (external clock).

To make the EMX-1 and ES-1 play back the identically-

numbered pattern in synchronization

1. Press the MIDI key (it will light).

2. Press the [ ] key to change the display to read

“Clock.”

3. Set the EMX-1 to “Int” (master) and the ES-1 to

“Ext” (slave).

4. Set the EMX-1’s synth part 1 and the ES-1 to the

same MIDI channel.

For example, set both to “01”.

5. Set the EMX-1’s MIDI Filter parameter “P” to “O”.

5. Make settings on your external MIDI device (mas-

ter) so that it will transmit MIDI clock messages.

6. Return to Pattern mode or Song mode.

7. When you start the sequencer of your external MIDI

device, the EMX-1 will playback in synchroniza-

tion with it.

Set the EMX-1’s MIDI Filter parameter “N” to “X”.

If MIDI clock messages are being received at the

MIDI IN connector, you can press the EMX-1’s

PLAY/PAUSE key to make it start playing in syn-

chronization to the tempo of your external MIDI

device.

About the MIDI messages used

for synchronization

The MIDI messages used for synchronization (Realtime

Messages) are Timing Clock [F8], Start [FA], Continue [FB],

and Stop [FC].

If the EMX-1’s MIDI Clock setting is “Ext” or “Auto”

and it is synchronized to an external MIDI clock, it

will follow the tempo of the external sequencer;you

will be unable to adjust the tempo on the EMX-1.

Only one master device (e.g., sequencer) in the connected

system can transmit these messages; the remaining slaved

devices (sequencers) will receive these messages.

If the EMX-1 receives a MIDI Start message while

synchronized to MIDI clock, it will begin playing from

the beginning of the currently-playing pattern (in

the case of a song, the beginning of the pattern

that was playing when the Start message was re-

ceived).

Timing Clock

The slave device calculates its own tempo accord-

ing to the Timing Clock messages it receives from

the master device. Twenty-four Timing Clock mes-

sages are transmitted during each quarter note.

If you set the EMX-1’s MIDI mode CLOCK setting

to “Auto,” it will act as a slave (it will receive

Realtime Messages). However if the EMX-1 is not

receiving any Timing Clock messages, it will oper-

ate according to its own internal clock even with

the “Auto” setting.

Playing back in sync with other

Electribe models

You can enjoy even greater possibilities by playing the EMX-

1 in sync with other models in the Electribe series such as

the Electribe-S (ES-1) or M (EM-1).

Start

The Start message tells the slave device when to

begin playing. AStart message is transmitted when

you press the PLAY/PAUSE key. When a slave de-

vice receives the Start message, it will begin play-

ing from the beginning in synchronization with the

incoming Timing Clock messages.

To make the ES-1 play in synchronization to the tempo

of the EMX-1

Use a MIDI cable to connect the EMX-1’s MIDI OUT

connector to the ES-1’s MIDI IN connector. Use

audio cables to connect the ES-1’s line output jacks

to your mixer or powered monitor system (ampli-

fied speakers).

Continue, Stop

If you press the START/PAUSE key on the master

device while it is paused, the master device will

transmit a Continue message. When a slave device

receives the Continue message, it will resume play-

back from the location at which it is currently

stopped. If you press the STOP key during play-

back, the master will transmit a Stop message.

When a slave device receives the Stop message, it

will stop playback.

1. Press the MIDI key (it will light).

2. Press the [ ] cursor key to change the display to

read “Clock.”

3. Turn the dial of each device to set the EMX-1 to

“Int” and the ES-1 to “Ext.”

4. Press the EMX-1’s PLAY/PAUSE key to start the

pattern or song (the PLAY/PAUSE key will light).

The ES-1 will play in sync with the EMX-1’s tempo.

If the MIDI channel of one of the EMX-1’s parts

matches the ES-1’s MIDI channel, the ES-1 may

sound in unison with the EMX-1. If this occurs,

change the MIDI channel settings so that they do

not conflict.

7. MIDI mode

About synchronization in Song Editing sounds

By using MIDI exclusive data dumps you can edit all pat-

terns or one pattern at a time. You can also use NRPN

messages to edit the knobs that are valid for each part.

mode

In Song mode, the EMX-1 will also transmit Song Select and

Song Position Pointer messages.

Song Select

When you switch songs, a Song Select message [F3,

ss] (ss: song number) will be transmitted. On the

EMX-1 you can select 64 songs. If the EMX-1 re-

ceives a Song Select message when in Song mode,

it will switch songs.

You can use the MIDI mode MIDI Filter settings to

enable/disable transmission and reception of Song

Select messages.

Editing via NRPN

NRPN (Non-Registered Parameter Number) messages are

a type of message that can be freely used by any manufac-

turer to control the assigned parameter number. On the EMX-

1, you can use control change messages to edit synth part

parameters or effect section parameters, but NRPN messages

are assigned to the drum parts.

To edit a drum part parameter, use NRPN (LSB) [Bn, 62, rr]

and NRPN (MSB) [Bn, 63, mm] (control change #98 and 99)

(rr, mm: lower and upper bytes of the parameter number)

to select the desired parameter. Then use data entry (MSB)

[Bn, 06, mm] and data entry (LSB) [Bn, 26, vv] (control change

#6 and 38) (mm, vv: upper and lower bytes of the value,

together expressing a range of 16,384 steps) to set the value.

Song Position Pointer

If you change the song position of the master de-

vice (clock set to “Int”) while the song is stopped,

it will transmit a Song Position Pointer message [F2,

pp, pp] (pp, pp: lower and upper bytes of the value;

pp: the number of MIDI beats from the beginning

(number of timing clocks / 6)).

The Song Position Pointer message indicates the

location at which the sequencer is currently

stopped. If the slave (clock set to “Ext” or “Auto”)

receives a Song Position Pointer message in Song

mode, it will change its own current location (i.e.,

the location at which its currently selected song is

stopped) to the same location as the master.

On the EMX-1 however, the length will differ for

each pattern, so the master and slave will not nec-

essary be located at the same position.

If you change the position on the master device to

make it transmit a Song Position Pointer message,

and then press its START/PAUSE key, a Continue

message (or a Start message if the position is 001)

will be transmitted, and the song will begin play-

ing.

About system exclusive

messages

Since the way in which system exclusive messages are used

is left completely up to the manufacturer, these messages are

used mainly to transmit or receive sound parameters or editing

data that is specific to a particular device. The EMX-1’s system

exclusive message format is [F0, 42, 3n, 69, ff, ... F7].

F0: exclusive status

42: Korg ID

3n: [n=0~F] global MIDI channel 1~16

69: the EMX-1’s model ID

ff: function ID (type of message)

...

If a slave receives a Continue message, it will be-

gin playback (in synchronization to the incoming

Timing Clock) from the position indicated by the

Song Position Pointer message it received. This lets

you playback in synchronization from the desired

location in the song, just as when playing back in

synchronization from the beginning.

F7: end of exclusive

Some USB-MIDI interfaces are unable to transmit

or receive the EMX-1’s MIDI exclusive messages.

Universal system exclusive messages

There is a special category of system exclusive mes-

sage whose uses are publicly defined. These are

called Universal System Exclusive messages.

The EMX-1 implements the following Universal

System Exclusive messages.

Song Position Pointer messages are not transmit-

ted when you use the dial or the select keys to fast-

forward or rewind during playback.

Be aware that if you perform such operations dur-

ing synchronized playback, synchronization will be

lost. Also, the playback location will not change if a

Song Position Pointer message is received during

playback.

—Inquiry Message Request [F0, 7E, nn, 06, 01, F7]

—Inquiry Message [F7, 7E, nn, 06, 02, (9 bytes), F7]

When the EMX-1 receives an Inquiry Message Re-

quest, it will respond by transmitting an Inquiry

Message with the meaning of ‘I am a Korg EMX-1

with system version ...’

Master Fine Tuning [F0, 7F, nn, 04, 03, vv, mm, F7]

(A value of 8, 192 [mm, vv=40,00] is the center po-

sition, a value of 4,096 [mm, vv=20,00] is -50 cents,
