Electribe as an MP3 or WAV backing track player?

[DJDelay]

Hi there,

I'm new to this forum, hoping you guys could help me with something Korg-related!

I play in a rock-electronica band, and for playing backing tracks live, we currently use an Electribe EMX 1 and Electribe SMKII (running patterns or whole songs) for some songs of our set, and a laptop running Ableton Live for the rest of our set. There are about say 2-6 tracks of audio on each Ableton Live Song (drums, synth sounds, effects, etc).

We are looking to get rid of the laptop from our live set due to crashing, soundcard problems etc and use a more robust way of playing backing tracks. The Electribes always work well and sound amazing.

I was wondering if we could somehow just use the Electribes to play all of our backing tracks? E.g bouncing down a few WAV files from the Ableton Live tracks into one MP3 or WAV file, and putting them into the Electribes using the Smartmedia? If so, can it store say 20 songs of approx 5 minutes?

If not, I'd be interested to hear if there are any robust Korg instruments dedicated to Live Backing Track playback for bands?

Thanks!
