I don't think that's particularly limiting for something of this nature. I think there should be more concern about the- max. 24 voice limit of the devices, especially since the insert FX type also seems to affect the amount of maximum voices.

The main issue with the Sampler, if it's the same as the ESX-1, is not the number of samples you can load into RAM but the fact that you can't stream them from the SD card. Not for playback, and not even to demo them while browsing to choose which samples to load into your current project. You have to load them from the card without hearing them first. It doesn't even recognise folders so you also have a long list of thousands of samples to scroll through, and if the samples are organised into project/song files (the only way to give them some meaningful structure) you can't even see the name of the individual files (or hear them) to choose which to load into your current song. You're literally loading stuff blind.

Yes thats fact but with the Red u can record audio in from ur mac pc and resample it with the electribe witch actually make it interesting and can add some tickness and grid to the samples u already work at ur perfect sounding daw..

I had a Minibrute and a Rocket, and I found the Rocket to be a much more interesting and fun piece of gear. I only sold the Rocket because I encountered a space issue. I sold the Minibrute because it just wasn't working for me sonically.

Some of you might find this redit AMA with James Pullen a.k.a. Mistabishi interesting ... he covers quite a lot of ground, and provides some info about the new Electribes:

For those who don't know who Mistabishi is, check out his music, much of which is performed live on Electribes:

Just had a quick skim through that AMA and he mentions the possibility of being able to put the opposite OS on to the other device (i.e. putting the sampler OS on to the synth, and vice versa) and getting the functionality of both? That would be amazing if it happens.

That AMA has convinced me to get one

I don't know about SD cards for audio streaming but the Octatrack uses a CompactFlash to stream samples and it works fine.

The last ESX-1 had an SD card and didn't stream from disk.

The Microbrute SE will come in pastel colours and Tip Top style CV cables. Will be available soon. Only 4,000 units. Think will cost £20-£30 pounds more than regular version.
