Korg Electribe Wave q about copying bars and parts

dermichl

How good is this working? As expected (say copy bar 1 of Synth1 to bar 3 of Synth2 etc). They never got this right in recent hardware versions...
The manual is promising but not too detailed.

The manual describes it better than I can. If there’s not much detail that’s because there isn’t a lot to it.

But I can say it works well. You can select an individual bar and copy it anywhere (one bar at a time). Or you can select an entire part and copy all bars to another part. Or you can select all bars from all parts and copy them to other bars all at once.

In all cases, you touch/highlight what you want to copy (single cell = bar, column = all bars for one part, row = one bar for all parts). Then you press the copy button, then you touch where you want to copy to and the data is copied. If you highlight a column, only columns are available to copy to, etc. You can’t copy drum parts to synth parts and vice versa. You can only operate on cell, column, or row at a time - there is no dragging to select multiple columns, for example.

You can’t copy anything between pattern sets.

I don’t think there’s a way to copy sounds from one part to another. But there are presets, so you can save and load to another pad that way.

GrooveRider GR-16 has much more powerful copy functions, but not as nicely graphically laid out like KEW.

Yeah I really wish you could copy to other patterns. And also copy sounds to other tracks and/or patterns. But hey, we have jump mode to make up for that a little bit

Is this still the case- you can’t copy parts from one pattern to a new pattern?

Yep.
There’s an update coming though. We’ll see...
