>>The Electribes always looked like toys to me (which may or may not be what you like).<<
they may look like toys but they're pretty good vfm. also, they have some interesting quirks (as most korg boxes do). I have the three first generation electribes &, while I tired of the noises in the synth & the drum machine (they can be a bit one-trick-ey), the sampler is never out of our live rig now. I load the flash card with wavs using my pc sometimes; you have to do a bit odf trial & error to get the sample rate/default pitch correct.
but once the sample's in the electribe.... wow.
obviously this thing isn't an akai/linn/command station, but for me it had exactly the right combination of functionality, simplicity of operation, flashing lights, tweaky things.... it plays samples without being full of hard-drive or expansive menus & processing. it has basic stomp-box-type effects, + a generic stereo delay which locks to the tempo but is also freely adjustable between divide ratios. this last on it's own should be in a box & on sale.
I use mine as a master clock for the entire rig because it has a nice big tap-tempo button & readout, & changes tempo quite elegantly.
also- haven't managed to break it yet. some knobs have fallen off because I don't put it in a gig-bag like I otter.
as ever, ymmv.
