This is one of the best tutorial intros I've seen. I'm trying to decide whether to get an Electribe 2 and you may have just pushed me over the edge. Thanks much.

I have just bought one of these (January 2020). This is just SO helpful in getting to know how to use it and I love your clear and concise approach. Please keep up the good work (hopefully with more videos and guidance!). Many thanks.

why did you get this specifically?
@mickypoo46224 жыл бұрын
@@difflocktwo To be able to make up tracks without a keyboard or a PC and be fully portable as it is also battery operated. I did actually return the blue synth model and exchange it for the red sampling model as I decided this was better suited to my needs. However, my comments about the usefulness of this video still apply.

How to delete all patterns from e2?.
@ndguardian2 жыл бұрын
A little late to this party, but I actually just did this today. Here's what I did. Go to pattern 1 > Press menu > Data Utility > Initialize pattern From there, edit the initialized pattern to whatever your template or init state should be. From there, here comes the tedious part. Press write > select the next pattern > press write again. Rinse and repeat until all patterns are deleted. Took me maybe 30 minutes, but afterward all the patterns were ready for use. I recommend immediately after doing this to export all your patterns in their now empty state to speed up the process in the future.

They should have made the synth model sample. Paint it purple, I would have purchased two.

Yeah, I think many customers were in the same boat. Couldn't decided between the sampler vs synth and got neither.

@@difflocktwo I've had both and decided on the sampler. Having the extended audio palette from samples, also getting rid of the bad ones, made the most sense for me. Still has a proper subtractive synth. Playing with samples is just a lot of fun.

@@stormcrow70 I have a the synth and wanna try the sampler. I think people complaining about the sample management and stuff put me off it, but I think the sampler might be the more versatile machine. Been looking for the sampler for a while now but haven't seen any pop up for a good price. Got the synth version for under $200.

@@difflocktwoI sold my mpc live because missed the workflow of the electribe. They're both great that way. You trim samples more by ear and not graphically. Browsing samples off the SD card is a little clunky. But it will do it with six double a batteries. I was going to get a polyend tracker. After waiting five months I decided the electribe sampler would be just fine. Also I have been sampling the micro freak a lot. It has an unconventional oscillator and a nice analog filter. Also wicked fun to play. They're about the same size.

Which Akai and Yamaha products would you recommend in a similar price range as the Korg's Electribe?
@city30154 жыл бұрын
@@kinetic-cybernetic unfortunately there is no product in similar price, however if U pay more u can get easly from range of elektron to polyend tracker or moog. Its definitely worth to pay more and have very little limitations than safe money and be limited as U can experience with electribe.

@@kinetic-cybernetic The only thing remotely in the same price range is the Novation Circuit, and that has a whole other set of limitations. I highly doubt the above user has any experience actually using, or even owning any of the things mentioned, but has probably watched a bunch of youtube reviews and considers themselves an expert. As someone who has actually owned and used a large number of boxes, consider the following; The best modern choice I've used would be the Roland MC-707, but again it has problems and is a way higher price. The Elektron Digitakt is a great piece of gear, but has so much menu diving it doesn't have a nice flow to use I've found. All of the current Akai offerings are pretty impressive, but are straying into full DAW in a box territory, rather than a quick to get into groovebox like this. Akai also tends to lean heavily hip hop with their sound, due to the MPC history etc. This could be a positive or negative depending on your preferences. The Polyend Tracker is a completely different workflow that is more akin to programming than playing an instrument, so unless you're into that in particular I'd not recommend it as a place to start. Yamaha as far as I'm aware haven't made a groovebox since the late 90s - early 00s, so no idea why they were even mentioned. The only other thing I can think of worth mentioning is the TeenageEngineering OP-1, which I've not used, but has a massive following. It comes with a massive price tag to match, however. The Electribe 2 does indeed have its quirks, but having owned one for several years now, I still keep coming back to it despite all its 'problems' and limitations. If you learn all the shift shortcuts, and get your head around the workflow, it's a great tool for getting ideas out of your head into paper so to speak in a quick and simple manner. It does have a pretty steep learning curve though so be prepared to put in the work to get the most out of it. Once you work it out though, it is far more capable than the internet gives it credit for. The Electribe also works as a great sequencer and effects unit for other gear you may have - my current setup sometimes involves connecting up several Volca's, my Minilogue and the Electribe as master sync clock/effects. Hit me with any questions you may have and I'll be happy to point you in the right direction. I've physically used most options out there, so I have a decent perspective on this particular topic.

@@Sypher474 How would you go about composing a long form track on the electribe? Stepwise, 4 bars at a time? Or working across many patterns at the same time, going through all partners tuning them to completion? I have only used caustic on android (daw) and an electribe 2. Caustic was really fun and I didn't have much trouble forming a complete piece of music with a begining, some transitions and an end. I always wanted a groove box and the electribe 2 is dirt cheap on the used market so I got one. A year of fiddling around with it and I do get some really great 4 bar loops, but I have a really tough time breaking free and creating complete pieces. I have recently been forcing myself to recreate other people's music so I kind of have a reference and most of the effort is in battling the electribe into doing what I want. I still don't feel very fluid with multi part tracks and it's a challenge to make part switches sound cohesive since the electribe cuts off tails. With a lot of tweaking my recreations are faithful, but the time and effort is pretty nuts I would say. Oh and it's not even that fun to program other people's music. Good for technical practice but not really fun.

Sypher474 hey bro can I ask ya some questions? I have a monologue and was thinking of picking this up, is it kinda similar ? Or would they work well together if I used the electribe as a loop controller and the other to jam on ?
