Thanks Tarekith. Hopefully I'll be able to find out by next week.
This is one thing that kinda sux with living here. I mean, Sweden is on the forefront when it comes to all kinds of tech etc. And we've contributed to the world with such amazing things as....IKEA....and...perhaps meatballs? (lol). But Sweden has the same population nr as New York City, so it's a tiny market, and we get all the cool things when all the other bigger markets been a bit saturated if u will. Blah!
Most people I know in the big US citiies are still waiting for their too if it makes you feel any better. Sounds like unless you pre-ordered one, you'd be lucky to find one in most stores.
Yes, that does make me feel a bit better actually. Thank you!
Finally! Gonna pick mine up tomorrow or Wednesday at my local store. Do you guys use some iOS audio interface to get direct audio in your videos? Or sync it up manually afterwards? I'd like to try and do some videos at some point, but I have no audio interface for my iDevices. Anyone know what the easiest (and cheapest) application would be to use if I need to sync things up manually after filming with the phone and capturing audio with my PC/Win8?
I personally just sync it in iMovie after the fact.
Oh right, I completely forgot about just doing it on the iPad. I do have iMovie and Pinnacle. Great, thanks:)
That's ok, I completely forgot about iMovie on the iPad, I was referring to doing it on my MBP. As long as you can replace the audio in a video clip on the iPad, you're good to go.
Haha, Yep.
I'm gonna spam you guys with so much cheesy 90s techno, Scooter covers and most likely a few "No Limits" by 2 unlimited remixes as well!
And if I can't do it by video, I'll do it with soundcloud. There's no escaping it..
Quick Q: Can the Electribe record/render your performances onto the memory card as a wav?
Yes and no. It can record everything you do including pattern changes and knob tweaking via the event recorder, but unfortuntely there's no way to export that as a wav yet. You can export individual patterns and pattern sets as both stereo wav mixdowns, or stems however.
Thanks @Tarekith. Sounds atleast like a workable "workaround". Hopefully they'll add it down the road as it kinda sounds like it might work in theory.
Does anyone know where I can find a list of waveforms in the new electribe?
In the user guide on korgs website (under the support section)
ah, the "Paramater guide".
Thank you!
It has more info than the manual does. There's also the Korg forums for lots of good info on the new electribe:

Cheers for that link too! On paper, it appears the only real thing that limits it for my uses is no reverb on insert fx, just on master fx. That's a bit odd. Hopefully they can fix that in a firmware update.
Yeah, a lot of people have commented on that. At least you can choose which parts to send to the master effects, which helps a little.
@Tarekith , Do the pads on your unit have slightly different sensitivity? I got mine today (very obviously a store demo unit or something but wth), first I used a tip from you I read somewhere to bend this sucker straight, very wiggly before I did that. Anyway, I noticed the outer pads to the right were quite a bit more sensitive then most others, it did give quite a few missed notes when trying to do lay down some gentle/quieter snares rapidly for example. Kinda wondering if this is just the way it is (like with the units being bent), or a result from this being a, most likely, demo/used unit.
I haven;t seen that myself, sorry.
Ok thanks, back to the store with this one then.
Btw, it came with firmware 1.02, I hadn't really paid attention to the gap between pattern thing people were talking about (pre the latest firmware), but after hearing it on my unit I'm a bit surprised Korg shipped it before nailing down this issue. It really glitched out pretty bad changing patterns. But thank god for firmware updates I guess
Okay, that I did not know. That's actualy not so bad, then.
So I can still have an insert effect on a sound and then choose to send or not send that sound to the master effect? That makes it more like an Aux effect, which is even better for my uses.
Yes, both master and insert have separate on/off buttons which works on a per sound/part basis.
Wow, you guys are great. I can't find any of this info anywhere else.
One last question....
I'm looking to use the electribe as my main live sequencer brain, but I also want to input midi to be recorded, and played back. For instance, a Bass Station 2 sending notes from its keyboard on Midi Channel 3 to the 3rd track on the electribe. Electribe records it, and then plays it back to the Bass Station 2. Is this doable?
I want to use it to send sequences to external midi gear, but I want those sequenced notes to originally come from the external midi gear.
Thanks!
Arpeggionome Pro, both iPhone and iPad version, is one of those apps that goes hand in hand with the Electribe. Really fast and easy to record various arpeggios you've got in Arpeggionome into the Electribe. Loving that app right now, never used it before really.
I synced up Gadget and Electribe just fine earlier today, experimenting with the audio-in on the Electribe as well (routed Gadget into the Electribe). Had Gadget on part 1, tried the export audio thing in Electribe, but it didn't capture Gadget while rendering. Prolly something I missed somewhere, didn't mess around to much with it.
Have to say that a USB cable with a camera connection kit, a 3,5mm audio cable + an Electribe and an iPhone or iPad makes for a pretty powerful package. And portable as well.
I have gone back and forth on this but I think I am going to go with the "sampler" version once it is available.
I have been unimpressed with just about all of the youtube videos demonstrating the sound of the new electribe. The PCM samples sound pretty canned, even with the great new synthesis engine at work. While I am sure that the very attractive extra filter modes really open up the possibilities, for my workflow, manipulating my own samples to get the quality of sound at the waveform level will do me much more good. Plus I'm pretty particular about reverbs (AD Eos is a great plate verb for percussion), and being able to import my own resampled sounds with my own FX will help me achieve the sound that I want for performance. An MPC2000XL was my main tool studio and live performance tool from '99 to '04, and SD cards with MacBook Pros are a far cry from 100MB zip discs with SCSI interfaces.
Another thing that attracts me to the sampler is the possibility of going back into my old finished tracks and resampling parts of the stems to be able to recreate finished tracks live with a sampling groove box such as the electribe sampler. This will be used to replace Ableton Live as a sampler and sequencer in a live setting, and with a Bass Station 2, TB-3, Volca Keys, and Monotribe live. So plenty of external synthesis to fill the gaps from the lost PCM sounds and filter modes. To keep it relevant to audiobus, I'll be using my iPhone 5 and iPad Air for AltiSpace and Flux:FX respectively, in aux sends.
Earliest date of availability I have seen for the sampler is March 26th. If anyone finds it available for pre-sale shipping earlier, please let me know!
Man, have you checked the specs of the sampler? You'll have very limited samping time.
I'd like it too though, I can imagine sampling some heavy supersaw pads
270 mono seconds. Yea, it's not a ton of time, but I just loaded my Volca Sample with 99 new samples over 65 seconds. Made it work thanks to the caustic editor. Lots of mono summing and cropping to get it all to fit but I have some great drums and synth waves on it now.
I don't make trance music, so no big long supersaw samples to take up memory. For ambient pad sounds, I just use Flux:FX modulation in realtime to get somewhat of an eventide-esque sound.
I'm sure we'll see more than a few artists using both the electribe and electribe sampler together. The sum would be greater than the parts, I am sure.
yep, I think allot of sp-303 users will try out the sampler version.
On the electribe FB page, one of the users who wrote Korg about his Sampler order was told it was coming in April now. Not sure how accurate that is, just passing on the latest date I've heard.
I hear you on re-using old stems for live work. I did that with the Octatrack too, it replaced Live for me as well. Pretty cool seeing/hearing how my old stems could be tweaked into completely new sounding songs to play live. I've got a whole batch of stems from the last couple years worth of studio tracks waiting already in case the Sampler version fits that bill for me too.
In the octatrack its roughly 85mb per project, though you can of course stream from the storage card too at the expense of some functionality.
