The next evolution in music software. Powerful wavetable sound.
The next generation ELECTRIBE produces state-of-the-art dance music.
The ELECTRIBE series first appeared in 1999. Since then each generation has inherited the iconic, intuitive operability of the original while incorporating the most up-to-date sounds and styles.
The ease of use, accessibility, sound and musicality of the ELECTRIBE reach new heights in this latest software version which features a powerful wavetable sound source, a “Quick Input” sequencer and a convenient chord pad that allows you to play a chord with one finger. Even if you aren't a musical virtuoso, with ELECTRIBE Wave you can create state-of-the-art dance music like EDM, Future Bass, and Trap.
• Powerful wavetable sound suitable for the latest in EDM
ELECTRIBE Wave has a sound wavetable featuring sounds widely used in the latest music creation. Unlike a PCM synth, the wavetable allows you to repeatedly play fragments of short waveforms, and change the waveform position during playback. By combining the wavetable (which features a rich variety of presets) with a powerful filter and two modulation units, you can create an infinite number of innovative and sharp sounds that cannot be produced using standard PCM synths. Even without a deep knowledge of synthesis techniques, the carefully selected parameters make it easy to craft your sound.
• Improved user interface for quick composition
The familiar 16-step pad in the ELECTRIBE series enables speedy rhythm production. The ELECTRIBE Wave also features a new keyboard to play chords and scales. Even without musical knowledge, you can have fun making tracks without worrying about wrong notes. The sequencer features Groove, which can be used to breathe life into rhythm parts, as well as a special keyboard to enable smooth step input for synth parts on the graphical user interface.
• Convenient chord pad that allows you to play a chord with one finger
ELECTRIBE Wave features a chord pad that allows you to play chords with one finger. If you use the "Fetch" function, it will automatically extract the chords from the song that you are in in the middle of creating and assign those chords to the pad for fast and easy song creation. You can also easily assign and save your favorite chords. In addition you can use the arpeggiator to create new phrases!
• Motion Sequence records and plays temporal changes in sounds and effects
The ELECTRIBE series introduced a powerful motion sequence function that remembers and reproduces the movements of the knobs. ELECTRIBE Wave now offers this function for the synthesizer/drum parts so you can create a flow of sound overflowing with originality. If you use the built in KAOSS PAD you can change the sound to drastically with a single fingertip, easily storing and reproducing temporal changes. Remember the wave table POSITION to make real time minute changes to the sound performance.
• Song mode can combine patterns into finished songs
Use song mode to create a new track by simply arranging the order of existing patterns. Using only the ELECTRIBE Wave, you can take a song all the way from inspiration to completion. With audio file export, you can send a complete song or individual patterns to your favorite DAW, or upload to services like SoundCloud.

Ratings and Reviews
An Excellent App
Initially I was hesitant on this one but I caved in and I’m glad I did. It’s well integrated and the sequencing aspect is exactly what I was looking for. It is the ideal musical sketch pad. Compared to gadget it is far easier to get ideas going, especially when using without a controller keyboard. The automation is almost perfect too.
Like anything there’s things I wish it had but bearing in mind this is v1, the future is promising:
I’m not too keen on the drums, whilst useful are a bit over processed.
I find the UI to be a little fiddly, I’m running on an iPad mini but I still think the touch points could be made bigger within the current structure. I also think when you tap a knob they could enlarge for finer control.
The synth is capable of much more than the typical use cases emphasise. It would be great if some sort of deeper mode could be revealed especially for envelopes so slower sounds could be used.
The drum step sequencer is great and I like the end step facility, I may be missing something but it’d be cool to change the last step per drum to get poly-rhythms.
It would be great if the sequencer could work with other apps and external devices.
Great work!

You can sync ELECTRIBE Wave with other apps/hardwares via Ableton Link, so please try.

Good but with limitations
Firstly, the synth sounds fantastic. It’s very versatile and enjoyable to use. In fact the whole interface has been well designed and is responsive. I just wish they would move on from this old design of a single insert effect per part. It’s unnecessarily limiting. Just having 2 inserts would be so much more flexible. It’s great having 8 bars but I wish there was a way to start playback from the bar you are editing. If you are editing the drum fill on bar eight you have to start the playback from the beginning and then when it reaches bar 8 you can press the loop button. But this is quite tedious, especially if you are using a lower tempo.
Overall, I really like this app though. It sounds good and is fast to navigate so you stay within a creative mindset without getting confused. I hope Korg continue to develop it.

Superb, make a dedicated controller!
I had an Elctribe EMX, my second bit of music buying gear I ever bought.
I never really liked the engines that much it a very specific character to it, kind of grainy. I love wave tables and this thing sounds so contemp. I plan to sample loops into my SP16.
Have all the Korg apps , they all sound great, my fav is gadget.
But this is a great idea for a groove box, like to see a granular sampler in their future.
My biggest want is a dedicated controller for the groove box apps. If they stuck to this format with different engines this would be amazing. Then they could bring out a decent controller for all of them. Maybe with a converter in it for recording ?
A groovebox iOS format with a dedicated controller , may one basic cheap one and a pro version for gigging ?
