I'd like to know!Why say it can be done and then not tell someone how when they ask.Doesn't make any sense.Guess i'll have to contact korg directly.Brilliant,thanks  |
Chill my brotha,
Who said it can be done?
Just send him a PM.
I'll try to reach Ruso or Daz and get an answer.

Thanks Paul for keeping this thread alive and trying to get an answer.I remember reading it and being surprised that you could send midi patterns to the emx and they said how to do it but i can't remember who it was 
They must have meant memory dumps..

Luckily i have those 
I think you can get the card readers dirt cheap on ebay and i also use an xD card with a smart card adapter 
I have a lot of patterns as well and would be happy to share them if something can be organised..

Y'know a librariran would be great.I'd love to be able to organise my patterns and would make sharing a lot easier
Would someone be able to to make ala esx?Korg?Well you never know

one word of hope, I do not have the time it will take to tackle this however in the midi specification guide on the korg website for the EMX they have a description of how to accomplish this via sysx
http://korg.com/downloads/pc/EMX1_MIDI_imp.zip
there are sysx commands to inquire all pattern data, single patterns, it also has descriptions for how to read it appart so basically you could potentially make a complete emx editor.... |

mmmm it wouldn't there's not a very significant number of electribes in use any more, it's an older product it wouldn't do much to korg, they made the money they needed for it that's that....
now they're making money of radias and ms2000
I'll write one for 200 bucks  lol if anyone will make that offer but I just don't have time to do it at themoment nor the energy... nor the desire cause I don't use the electribe like it should be used any more it's quite simply a sound module nothing else. |

Remembered something my friend said to me . He said that when he tried round the shops in the u.k he was told that there were only 2 MX's in the whole of the u.k ( and reserved ) and was told he'd have roughly a month to wait 4 his !!!
This suggests that the EMX1 is still massively popular and that interest is still there . korg dont need to make money from the software , they could supply it free of charge i'd imagine . It would only benefit them really . Its a mmatter of whether they care enough i think , personally . They'll probably revise MX the for re-sale anyway when MX2 comes out , and with EMX1 software available the Mx would still be useful for a good while yet . |

Thats kinda what i was thinking re extendng the use of the emx.It would help with patterm management,you could organise sets easier with a librarian and shift extra patterns that you create,which i did when i first fot the emx but now i try to work on a song by song basis otherwise i'll lose track.At least with a librarian i could organise things by date,style or whether i'm using it as an fx unit or a sound module
Please korg,consider making a librarian for the emx so that we can share patterns thus becoming better 'tribers in the long run 
(Or if not Ruso)

Hey Guys,
Here is a email I just sent to Brian Rath KORG Product Specialist.
I suggest anyone interested in supporting this idea email Brian at brianr@korgusa.com .
Thanks,
Cyberdude
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brian,
I told my freinds on KORG FORUM: Electribe that I invited you to join us.
They are very interested in hearing from you.
You wouldn't wanna disappoint us now would you?
Seriously, I think they have some great ideas relating to the Electribe and other KORG products.
Several of us are very interested in Librarian software for the EMX.
One guy, Ruso is a software developer and familiar with MIDI.
He said he would do it for $200.
If Korg isn't interested in developing this software perhaps you can ask "the powers that be" to look into providing Ruso some assistance technically and/or financially?
Thank you in advance,
Paul

korg is different from country to country, it has been discontinued about a year ago in the US.... all retailers pulled it off the shelves I very occasionally see them in such stores and they are only the used ones....
There's no reason to make a librarian because it's simple enough to oranize the patterns onboard.... plus if anything they're either working on the next electribe, or said screw electribes not many people use em...
and although quite a few people use them, you have to realise that say korg triton, is used by exponentially larger ammount of people....
they have much more popular stuff that's not just designed for electronic music and is used everywhere...
electronic(techno) musicians are a very small part of korg's customers...
compare the sampler/drum machine room at guitar center to the keyboard or dj room which one's got more equipment/people in it? |
