Pete Rock & CL Smooth “They Reminisce Over You“ (Instrumental) recreated w/ Korg Electribe ES-1

The beat starts at 0:50. This is one of my favorite hip hop songs of all time. Many call it the greatest hip hop song ever produced. I’ve listened to it countless times. I had to do this one on Korg Electribe ES-1. Pete Rock made this beat with SP1200, which only have only 10 seconds of sampling time, and each banks (there are 4 banks on SP) can only store total of 2.5 seconds worth of samples. (If I get SP-1200, recreating this beat would be the first thing I would do!) I think SP-1200’s MULTIPITCH and DECAY function are the only functions that very hard to duplicate (near impossible) on ES-1, as far as only sequencing is concerned (Of course I am not talking about SP sound here.) I think I figured out how Pete Rock chopped the sample. I tried to make it sound like the original beat. All works were done on Electribe ES-1. EQed with the Portastudio. Note regarding sequencing on Electribe ES-1 On ES-1, There are only 9 pads, only 7 pads can be played at same time,
