Mpx reviews were real bad. I had looked into it.
Oh yeah, with just a cursory glance I see what you mean.
Check out the boss rc505 too, I've seen a few people using that one live lately.
That looks dope. If I could get the electribe with built in 505 and 404sx functionality, I'd be sold a million times over. Damn it.
It's called the Octatrack
Haha. Yeah. I wish. Add a synth engine to it and I'd be sold.
You can definitely turn it into a synth with single cycle waveforms
if you want to buy it for me I'll totally use it. Haha
On a side note, can you use the Electribe to sequence outboard gear? So I could program drums and some synths and stuff on the electribe, then also sequence my EA1, MS2000BR, and/or Virus? Can it send out on multiple channels and use midi-through of my other units to sequence a few at a time?
And one more question, I know you can set the key and scale of the touchpad for playing notes (much like on the kaossilator), but can you set the key and scale for the pads, as well? That way you won't play out of tune with whatever you're jamming with.
Thanks!
I'd be reluctant to pay that much for an Octatrack especially now with the known common issue of its CF card reader pins bending/breaking, which is not covered under warranty. Based on what I've heard, shipping it back to Elektron to repair it requires replacing the whole CPU/IO board and the cost of parts plus labor and shipping adds up to almost $600.
Something I know very well unfortunately. There are other people with this issue that you've heard about?
wt heck was that….
Another new one on YouTube
Yup: http://www.elektronauts.com/topics/view/2444/page:3
Not only that, there's apparently another common issue of the trig buttons getting stuck requiring a replacement of the UI PCB board for which the US repair center for Elektron quotes $527.49: http://www.elektronauts.com/topics/view/9501
Thanks, glad it wasn't just me, and despite what Elektron, told me not totally user error.
Looks like you can easily make a Sega Genesis fm bass sound on this thing. I might just have to get one now (was thinking about it anyway)
The unit seems like a good retro game music box from what I've heard.
It can definitely be that too amongst a s**t-ton of other things.
When you get around to exploiting the Audio-In with...whatever you want, things start to get real. I know that's not unique to this new tribe but 16 possible tracks of separate Audio-In exploits are totally a new thing.
I am SONG MODE
That's a t-shirt.
The manual for Electribe Sampler is online:
http://i.korg.com/uploads/Support/USA_Electribe_Owners_Manual2.pdf
Here are some facts from the manual:
Pros:
Cons:
Huh. I thought their material only previously mentioned "transient detection" for the way it slices. And now the manual only mentions "fixed beat grid" for slicing... which is what I prefer.
Am I reading this right in thinking that using stereo samples halves the number of available parts from 16 down to 8? Which would kinda make sense since the signal flow on the Electribe is completely mono (except the master fx which runs on a separate DSP chip).
Yes, you can only use stereo samples on the odd numbered parts, putting them on even numbered parts sums them to mono from the sound of it.
I see, thanks. I'm still a bit torn between the one I have or if I should get the sampler instead. If the sampler do indeed keep all the various VA models, and not just the basic ones, it would indeed make it very tempting. I don't really care for the filters, the basic filter does a good job. Altho the more aggressive Acid filter would be missed a bit..
Yesterday I got the Electribe Sampler under my fingers (at Musikmesse Frankfurt). The sampler tribe has only 16 VA oscillator models (in opposite to the Electribe 2, which has 54). So the information in the sampler tribe's manual is highly mistakable.
Thanks, good to know. It's a bit weird that Korg is giving mixed messages all over with their official site, the manual etc. Almost like they waited right up until Musikmesse with deciding the final specs, and if they really were going to make two different unit, or just one with a swappable firmware..
Anyone gotten a chance to try out Roland JD-Xi? Roland's new groovebox thaang. I'm thinking of trading in my E2 for that one, simply because I SUCK at playing melodies etc on pads. I made a beat on the E2 today that really pushed it all into the red, getting that thumping/crunchy smack-u-in-the-face sound the E2 can put out. If I get this one instead, I'll prolly gonna miss that as im pretty sure the JD-Xi is a bit week sauce here, but I'll gain polyphony and keys....loose some VA modeling I guess...hmm
This is sad to know
Might just have to be a big drum machine as a few loops will overload the sample memory..
270sec / 250 patterns = 1.08 sec of sample per pattern.. And that's mono!
So there's going to be a lot of reusing the same samples if you want to do a whole set on one of these.
Now add in stereo loops and it's almost not worth it, if I do get one of these I won't be loading any loops haha
With 270 seconds, there's barely enough room for a bunch of drum kits and a few one shots. Different cards for different projects doesn't sound fun at all, especially trying to manage it over time. That's why I bought the 1st gen EMX-1 years ago for the built-in kits and not the ESX-1. I still use the EMX-1 to this day, when I probably would have sold the ESX-1 long ago.
exactly I sold mine twice
It loads on boot too so that would mean rebooting the machine in a live performance for each track?! No way lol
Please tell me if I'm being dumb and this has already been put to use. Here's an undocumented game changer I posted on korg forums last night. Step Jump recording. Press Play, select Step Jump, enable Record, select one or multiple steps (pads) with one hand, twist knobs, enable/disable function buttons, play with notes and or MFX on Kaoss pad with other. Now let go and listen. Free running step sequencer for all parameters and notes. Works well when part is set to mono. Gate and arpeggiate to your hearts content. Address one or multiple steps while running. Assign a single note on any steps in a bar all at once. It's a super fast replacement for step edit menu diving. And of course it works with (or as) an external MIDI controller well. I no longer have any complaints about a step edit. We have something way cooler. A free running, nonlinear step sequencer that can control everything recordable to a part and it's not even mentioned in the manual! I am totally over the moon about this. It was there the whole time.
