I have 2 pelican cases, one with EMX-1 and the other with ESX-1. buried in the back of my closet for 15 years about 🤯. This video is why I’m going to break the. Both out this weekend.. thx! Edit:Also I have written in my Will and Trust to play both emx and esx at funeral and to be buried with EMX-1SD and ESX-1SD inside the casket for final burial 🤣
Something I did with mine a while back was make a template that includes all drums set so their tail is reduced when I start working. Ive made a ton of music on the emx, but I really don't like the drum samples. In my opinion, cutting the tail at least a but on them all tightens them up and cleans out some of the excess sound in a track. Another trick is to switch the drums out the secondary outputs and run them into the audio in on a synth track. Gives you a bit more control over everything.
@@ghost_in_the_robot it would probably work. it's been a while, so maybe send a stereo signal in and make sure it comes out the main out still stereo. no need to over complicate your setup if you're just gonna end up w/ the line in being squished to mono before it leaves the synth track.
some people have great knowledge about something but can't bring it to the people ... and others can - great that you are from the second group, i love your tutorials, well explained and easy to understand and to remember - thumbs up
That was really nice! Thanks! I appreciate and regard highly the time you have spent making this tutorial! It really explains what EMX is and how it could be used! Thanks!
Thank you for these EMX tutorials, they are really insightful. I need to work mine harder. I hope you will put out some more advanced tutorials in the future.
Nielzsche thanks I love my emx. I will consider making more eventually. i am no master of emx1 but it is a very fun sequencer. There are not enough of these tutorials on UA-cam.
Question: my emx1 is not allowing me to select the length of drums (1-8) after I’ve started putting in any edits to the drum parts. Any help? As well, I am having trouble getting “shift” to highlight the green lights as 13:35 and repeating my drum parts. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Had this thing for 10 years and could never figure out how to copy paste the first bar. I've been trying to figure out if it has velocity but doesn't seem like it.
Hey Ron, love all the videos great job!! Helping me a lot with my EMX1, I just dug up a old Mixer Peavey 701R just curious to the best way to get sound from the amp no never used a mixer, thankingy
@@RonCavagnaro sorry just curious to how you run a set up live and what you have like to keep your levels at ? What sounds best. General I've been reading allot of people seem to re adjust the standard level of 100 volume down to 70 curious where you have your stuff sit haha. Thanks sorry for the random question. Just trying to do a no computer setup best I can.
Bro, do you have the Kaoss Pad synced to the midi out of the EMX-1? Trying to figure out how to use the Roland VT-4 to change scales automatically like a keyboard with note/velocity changes... Any ideas? Thx
These two (brother emx and sister eSx) are awesome. I have one esx1. Sampler. Oh yes. G00D FOR YOUR MUSIC... (GROOVY SEQUENCERS) U will program house juke ghetto techno trap jungleesm hip hop.
Nice explainer, one thing I cannot find on any tutorial, I'm not sure if it is possible, is if I want to do a hat or snare roll that is faster than the tempo. If that makes sense? Is it possible to change the temp of just one instrument?
@@RonCavagnaro Aah ok, I'm using the Electribe as a sequencer for my sampler and the last 4 doesn't choke, maybe it doesn't work when just sending out midi data? I figured it would send note off or something.
I bought an used EMX so when i hit play button it starts to play some song already created. How can I reset that so i can start all over as it is on tutorial?
Great video, but please answer me something. Why every time that I push the button ¨play¨a song start to run instead of the things that I want to save in the patterns or what I want to play live and record on the fly? thanks!!
Sounds like you don't know how to clear the preset patterns. Shift and 8 should clear the pattern for you. Depending on what pattern you're on is all preset.
HI Ron IM IN PART EDIT MODE On MY EMX1, ON YOUR VIDEO, ON ABOUT O.36SEC YOU HIT KIK1 AND YOUR NUMBERS LIGHT Up 1-16, and kik1 starts to play when you hit 1-5-9-13. yours play when you get to 9. WHEN I HIT MY PLAY THE PATTERNING SONG STATS TO PLAY. can you help me
This was SHOT at 360p resolution? Or UPLOADED at 360p? Please... this is maddening... this is unusably low resolution. Please, if you have an original version of this shot at the higher res, PLEASE UPLOAD IT.
It was a long time ago 7 years... I was just starting out and yes it sucks. Eventually i will make new series with 1080p that will be far better and edited better
Thanks for watching! Check out ALL of my EMX1 Tutorials in this playlist!!! ua-cam.com/play/PLQvVnhG7o2ySrXVxxalKrZSHn3PZ-i8kS.html

So glad this video is up. I'm using this for drums until I really figure it out

hey bro, could i do this drum trick using the outputs into the audio in on the MX using a headphone splitter and 2 mono cables?

Glad this is here! Really have to figure out how to rig this Into my korg sq64 sequencer so I can go really in depth but this helps for now!
Thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks for these tutorials! Which every time I started a pattern fresh I didn't have to set every drum pad from scratch.
Make a template and save it over a bunch of patterns
That was really nice! Thanks! I appreciate and regard highly the time you have spent making this tutorial! It really explains what EMX is and how it could be used! Thanks!

Just press shift and button 2. What happens
You da man, was my first day lol
love the emx1, nice kaoss pad
Grazie mille per avermi fatto scoprire come attivare i length...

You the Bro!!!!
great tutorial - well explained and demonstrated TY!
Caveman has spoken !
Is there a way to change the pitch of just one drum note in the sequence? @ron any help is so appreciated
Bro, do you have the Kaoss Pad synced to the midi out of the EMX-1? Trying to figure out how to use the Roland VT-4 to change scales automatically like a keyboard with note/velocity changes... Any ideas? Thx
Hmmm no idea how vt4 works. Kaoss pad is set as synch to my deluge, never tried w emx1. Thanks for watching!
There's something about the sound of this machine. Is there like a compression going on by default?
I'm not sure but it does sound great! There is a compression fx you can apply
Very nice video thank you 🎶🎹🎶💯
circuit, emx and kaoss pad looks like a great combination. can you tell more about how you use it?

@@freddymercury2259 not possible on the emx1 sorry
@@RonCavagnaro 😢😭😭😭😭😭😿
@@freddymercury2259 other sequencers can do this so recommend to look around
@@freddymercury2259 another option is to use a delay fx and motion sequence it. But you'd have to get it right for the hits you want
@@RonCavagnaro 😃 Okay, thanks I will look into this! I'll do some research.
Great tutorial but how do you activate the choke group? Setting which drum part will choke which? Does anyone know?
Last four do that
@@RonCavagnaro Aah ok, I'm using the Electribe as a sequencer for my sampler and the last 4 doesn't choke, maybe it doesn't work when just sending out midi data? I figured it would send note off or something.

Find init song
What's the name of the blue keyboard
How good is the midi with this? Would like to hook up to an MPC 2000xl.
I haven't tried so I'm not sure. But I can trigger it very well w my deluge
Ron Cavagnaro Thanks.
8:40 "BREATH WITH ME"
I've been wanting on for a while and I finally get one Friday. I'm stoked
Thank u!
read there was no filter editing on the drums only the synths, true or false?
Great video, but please answer me something. Why every time that I push the button ¨play¨a song start to run instead of the things that I want to save in the patterns or what I want to play live and record on the fly? thanks!!
Sounds like you don't know how to clear the preset patterns. Shift and 8 should clear the pattern for you. Depending on what pattern you're on is all preset.
@@RonCavagnaro if you clear preset pattern is it deleted forever,? If so then do you have to factory reset the machine to get it back?
@@marcelmarechal1420 if it's overwritten it will be gone yes not sure how to reinstall the factory presets but not sure why you would want them ?
@@RonCavagnaro oh I don't know, I guess some Factory presets are worth saving on some machines?
@@marcelmarechal1420 not if you make your own music ;)
Is there an option to listen to things in the headphones before you use it
Yeah it has a 3/4" in for phones
HI Ron IM IN PART EDIT MODE On MY EMX1, ON YOUR VIDEO, ON ABOUT O.36SEC YOU HIT KIK1 AND YOUR NUMBERS LIGHT Up 1-16, and kik1 starts to play when you hit 1-5-9-13. yours play when you get to 9. WHEN I HIT MY PLAY THE PATTERNING SONG STATS TO PLAY. can you help me

Have you more , even beter explenation from just bigining ....
Absolut bigining???
How to learn , nice how you do that, but how I can do?
My korg emx 1 is triggering the synth part when I try to use the drum part alone. Why is this happening??
Unsure?

hey there, great video !
are these the standard drum samples/sounds ?
It's a shame that you don't set a German subtitle :( but very nice videos. Greetings from Germany
How do I set that up? Sorry
@@RonCavagnaro I do not know that :( I am not a youtuber :/
@@feller_liveoffical7934 ah I am sorry well I hope you can understand the best you can
