Korg EA-1 "Electribe A" Analog Modeling Synthesizer - Made in Japan
The Korg EA-1 is the analog modeling synthesizer of the original Electribe series, pairing a two-part virtual analog engine with a hands-on 16-step sequencer in a compact tabletop format. It is highly regarded for acid-style basslines, leads and electronic grooves, and remains a popular centerpiece for DAWless setups.
This is a Japanese-market example, serial no. 019644, supplied with a Korg KA181 AC adapter.

== WHY THIS ONE ==
The first-generation Electribe line is where Korg's knob-per-function groovebox philosophy started, and the EA-1 is the synth voice of that family. Every parameter that matters - oscillator mix, filter, distortion, delay - sits under a dedicated knob, so patterns can be reshaped live without menu diving. Motion Sequence records those knob moves into the pattern, and the Audio In lets you run external sources through the filter, OSC Mod and effect chain. This example is a Japanese-market unit and comes with a Korg AC adapter, so it is ready to sit in a hardware rig straight away.
