ER-1 covered in ESX?

so thanks for the help on the kaossilator thread, here's a similar question. i got an ER-1 MKII on boxing day this year cause i was drawn to the way it can make some really weird synth sounds, not the drums. but then i got an esx which is more for beats and live performance. since i still can return the er-1 i was wondering if all the synth stuff in the er-1 can be done in the esx?

mmm not quite esx is ALL sample based.... so you can't do weird SYNTH sounds.... if you still got the old one laying arround you can actually use the esx to control the original one... that'd make a wicked lil combo I bet...
anyways you can still create VERY radical and crazy sounds on the esx, in fact probably more so then any other electribe..... it's a wicked machine(although I personally prefer EMX)

yeah i read through that thread yesterday. i don't think it really answered my question though. from what i can tell the ER-1 is definitely covered in the EMX cause that probably has every synth feature of any electribe, but the ESX not so sure. i ask cause i wouldn't mind getting rid of the ER-1.

like I just said, it is not covered in esx, esx is 100% sample based... there is no synthesis at all... the only things that happen is sample mangling... this includes but is not limited to, stretching, skipping(sample start) reversing, evenveloping and motion sequencing....

hah you know the first time you wrote that i wasn't sure if you made a mistake of some sort. i thought the esx has two monophonic synth parts in it. now i guess i understand that it's just using sample based tones to act like a synth(aka rompler). i had no idea lol
but at the end of the day, the modulation options on the two appear to be quite similar. so a sine wave patch in the esx in theory could do something very similar to a sine wave in the er-1, right?
