RE: korg drumboxes (was terry riley's organ)



So it's velocity sensitive under the hood, just not via the pads.  Cool.
That's good to know.  It's not something mentioned in the online blurbs, 
and
I suppose you'd only discover it by actually doing it.  Or maybe the manual
mentions it.  The Electribes are heavy on step sequencing, or cater a lot 
to
that crowd.  So, I could just use my MP-7 as the midi controller, couldn't
I?  Sweet.  I've got one eye on those ESX-1's and that makes them a lot 
more
appealing now.

You have experience with this, right?  Straight-up velocity sensitivity 
when
using a midi controller for input?

You can always play/program it with a small velocity sensitive keyboard.
