 ==== Sampler ====
-I think some kinda sampler or sample player is what I want next. I don't mind having to setup the samples on the computer then put them on a card, have no need for sampling with a microphone. I  don't want to fuck with menus and tiny text. Something to work nice alongside the [[roland_tr-8]], so a similar sequencer built-in would be nice. Leaning towards as [[korg_electribe_es-1|Electribe ES-1]] (ended up getting one~).

   * Korg Volca Sample - [[yt>zOj0Ro6mp-8]] Doesn't record, 16 step seq, naff buttons, about $150, a bit annoying to get samples in (There's a Sample 2 where you can just load via USB, but you still need a  software, SDK is open source, mixed reports on Linux support).

   * Octatrack
   * Elektron Model: Samples - [[yt>_Hr-8jzlpCk]] Propriety software for sample transfer.
-  * [[korg_electribe_es-1|Korg ES-1]] - [[yt>Lyxr7ZbyLfI]] More info [[#Electribe|§ below]]. Smart media cards. 16 steps, delay a bit limited.
+  * [[korg_electribe_es-1|Korg ES-1]] - [[yt>Lyxr7ZbyLfI]] More info [[#Electribe|§ below]]. Smart media cards. 16 steps, delay a bit limited, but there's a replacement firmware that helps with that.
   * Korg ESX - [[yt>OP18zlohVhI]] Much pricier. There's a SD card version, but other than that I'm not sure the differences are worth the extra money.

 === Electribe ===
-Kinda into all the first [[korg_electribe|Electribes]]. Ended up buying the [[korg_electribe_es-1|ES-1]], [[korg_electribe_ea-1|EA-1]], [[korg_electribe_er-1|ER-1]].
+Kinda into all the first [[korg_electribe|Electribes]]. Ended up buying the [[korg_electribe_es-1|ES-1]], [[korg_electribe_ea-1|EA-1]], [[korg_electribe_er-1|ER-1]]. Might just be me, but there's a little something missing from the sound of all of them, so they really benefit from some external EQ and effects?

-  * [[yt>Lyxr7ZbyLfI|Faxi Nadu - Korg Electribe ES1 Sampler / Sequencer Review]]
+Sampler/resampler/sequencer. Takes SM cards. Has decent samples included. Easy to use.
