Yo all!

Thinking of trying to get one these machines to pair with an E2! anyone had much experience with them? Curious to know how thew sound of this model stands up these days.......

I'm not sure what the ER really adds to the e2 other than slightly more of the same kind of stuff.

I never really loved the ER sound - low-res digital modeling pretending to be an analog drum machine. All those sounds it tries to make are sampled inside the e2 already. (Not as tweakable, but is that what you're going to do? Slowly deform the bass drum into a tom for 12 measures?)

Personally, I'd pair the e2 with something non-redundant. A keyed poly with vocoder would be the most logical pairing, but samplers and real analogs also go well.

Exactly! long time subscriber of ghostradio here. His vids an coupe of others, made me get quite excited about the metallic synthesized drum patterns........

Right now my plan is to pair E2 with V.bass and V.sample.

Just thinking an ER1 Mii might make for an extra awesome set up.....

I love my ER-1 mk2 and have no regrets whatsoever buying one. BUT... if you have an ipad and you don't already own the iElectribe app then you really should check it out. It's based on the ER-1 mk2 but with no audio-in/ring mod or song mode. It then takes things much further than the hardware version and has a few very cool tricks up it's sleeve that none of the hardware electribes have.

Yeah I've got iPad 2 with ielectribe, I've also nano kontrol 2! Is it poss to hook the nano into iPad an sync with E2 via USB port at same time.....???

My ER1 mk2 is the only electribe I have that I would never sell. Its just so amazingly hands on for generating crazy stuff. I once saw a guy do a2 hour IDM/minimal set just using 2 ER1s and a kaoss pad.

IF you get off on making "weirder" sounds then the ER1 is a boss bit of kit.

Do you think the sound is punchy enough to run straight through mixers for live usage?

* also are you the guy who posts up all those vids Er-1 mkii and TB3??
The sound is super crisp on most of those vids. Again making me really hungry for hardware ER-1............
