The EMX is a drum synthesizer, while the ESX is a sampler.

Mainly using it for creating the drums. I got the MPC's and Maschine for sampling but I love the sound that comes out of the electribe when making drum loops.

Sorry if this seems like my first post, I've been a member for a while, but forgot my username so had to re-register. Anyway. Got my MPC 1000 yesterday and my HD25 MK2's. I do a lot of old school hip hop, used to own the 2500. All my dubstep goes via Logic but I was thinking about doing it on the MP...
