Probably not, especially since the ESX samples at 44.1kHz rate.

I think he's talking about the ES-1

Musiciansfriend.com and guitarcernter.com say the ESX1 Electribe is 32khz . Only Korg website says its 44

Well, I would assume since Korg designed, engineered, manufactured, tested, and retailed it, they would probably be the foremost authorities on the sampling specifications.

If that still won't do, I can confirm that my ESX does indeed sample at 44.1.

Korg Electribe ESX-1 With SD Storage Features:

32kHz sampling frequency
Sampling time (max): 285 (mono)/142.5 (stereo) seconds, to internal memory
Number of samples: 100 (mono) +

and bla bla bla...

he's right! I already want one of those with lo fi "warm" sound

He's right in that those ads are incorrect.

It's true, the ESX does sample at 44.1khz.

man, I know the ESX1 is 44.1 , just called my attention that they haven´t corrected that mistake yet, since some people -like him- could hesitate to purchase one....

anyway, now that I see the add, it would be cool that the ESX1 could sample on 32Hz too. Even the Roland Sp808ex, wich uses Zip drives, gives you both options at the moment of formatting the disk
