    Does it HAVE to be an official power supply? Here's one that does eom KORG stuff: http://www.dv247.com/invt/42034/

    Go into Maplin, buy one of the generic ones, 9v with an assortment of tips. Had to get one for a Microkorg and they're the same, I have an electribe also and have often swapped the power supplies.

    Make sure you get an AC 9v as opposed to DC.

    Though tbh, if you get close enough to the voltage and the amp then a... 'repurposed' adapter from some other bit of equipment will work fine - just watch if the transformer gets a little hot.

    (Normally I wouldn't advise something like this, but there's plenty of hobbyists out there hacking together battery packs to use with the Electribe series which actually draw relatively little power).

    Seems to be! I saw another site which had it listed as AC :rolleyes:

    That said, the ER-1 PSU on the site is 9v 500ma. My supplied adapter is 9v 600ma. There is definitely some give on it. My current USB-interface needs 7.5v and around 1000ma. I'm giving it 9v and 880ma and tis perfectly happy.
