(ES-1)step is a program that allows you to hook up a midi keyboard to your computer, and send midi messages to your Korg ES-1 Electribe Sampler. Each midi key (up to 128) controls a 64 step pattern with all the ES-1 parameters. As long as you hold down that key, the pattern will play on the ES-1. You can set any BPM (0-999), and hold down as many keys as you want. You can make your own presets, and also use the random generator, which will randomly generate all the parameters for you (a random pattern, bpm, effects, etc.).
