i really like this – KORG ELECTRIBE Wave Review

well im a HipHop/Trap/Rap/R&B and reggaeton beat maker/producer so at first i got the electribe wave because in 2008 i bought the korg emx-1 which was my first and only analog hardware synth/drum machine instrument that i ever had and i used to love everything about it even though it was meant more for electronic music, like house, trance, techno ect, but i did a lot of hip hop beats on it and i used to use it a lot until someone stole it from me in 2015, so the electribe wave do brings me back memories just because i had the Emx-1 and even though the electribe wave its just like the emx 1, its meant more for electronic music, but its great so great that i made a complete beat from scratch in half hour after buying it and then after that i post the beat in youtube channel a few minutes later, Groove Rider its very versatile app with a nice selection of factory sounds even though i wish it had more but it is what it is, the things that i was disappointed with was the sequencer not having the option to add rolls 4T 8T 16T in any part of a pattern specially in the drum section which is essential for hip hop/Trap/Rap even R&B and Reggaeton so adding the option to do 4T 8T 16T ect will make electribe wave way more versatile for any genre, plus in song mode why not have option to edit any specific step in a pattern, without the need of to make a whole new pattern just to take out 1 kick, snare or a hi hst hit from any step in the pattern, also why just one fx for each instrument?? come on korg just one FX for each instrument and that’s it ?? i can only choose or add just 1 fx out of 10+ fx in a track why why why ? i understand korg want it to make electribe wave app to reflect the korg electribe hardware, but why not be more innovating with the apps. taking the hardware concept into a higher level with the apps, why not? and with that in mind why not 8 extra drum pads, what would be great because other the 1.kick 2. snare 3. clap 4. tom 5. open hat 6. close hat 7. crash 8. ride but what about 9. chants 10. raisers 11. impacts 12. maybe another hihat 13 and 14. a perc or two 15, a sample fx 16. 808 bass samples,,,,,, i mean a normal that is almost all the tracks that any hiphop-trap beat maker will need to complete a full instrumental, i know i definitely do use that many tracks, from 8 to 10 instrument pads and 16 Drum pads at least and then i would think the app its fully completed and officially a top of the line app
