Quality of these is getting better. I'm just getting into my electribe and am super glad it's getting more love here. There's surprisingly few videos about it!
Its deffinently my favorite machine! I understand why people think of it as a stepping stone into dawless music production, but every time I try and 'move on' to a "better" machine I come back because nothing I have used is as fast or fun as the Electribe 2!
I tried to credit and tag you in the discription! I don't know why it won't let me @ you! But thanks for watching! Your videos taught me alot about the electribe, but better then that, they inspired me to use my machines in different ways and start posting on RU-vid! Big Thanks! 😊
inspiring! I didn't know what that setting "really" did until this video. thank you! question: when you're in the step edit menu, how did you move to the next step so quickly after editing the note? I only know to back out of the note menu on the step, then wheel over to the next note I want to edit.
Makes me very happy to inspire others to explore their gear more! I deffinently think trigger hold and motion sequencing unlocks the electribe's magic! Check out this video about step edit. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_0s64chYfNo.html Basically, when you are on the note page, you can press the step pad you want to edit.
What your doing is called motion sequencing, which is a common feature found on most modern electronic instruments. The E2 has a choice of smooth and trigger hold. If you want to add motion to your parts don't forget the modulation. The E2 is a real instrument on which you can develop a personal style.
Yeah, I feel like Korg does motion recording a bit better than others because of the smooth or trigger hold option. I especially appreciated as a per part setting on the E2. Have you tried any elektron stuff? I can't wait to try the Drumlogue to see how they have implemented motion recording! I'm a big fan of Korg over all!
@@MyLittleSynths Yes I purchased a piece of Elektron kit and returned it because it doesn't match my work flow. I have all of the Electribes the E2 is my favorite. (I use 3 in my current setup) My favorite drum machine is the Roland TR-8s. I use a lot of percussion and not really interested in drum kits. I put my money efx's not new gear, the right efx can make just about any gear sound good.
Rare to meet someone that prefers the E2 over the emx/esx! But I agree, E2 with hacktribe OS is my desert island piece! Even though I experience a lot of noise on the E2 audio outs. I often get around this by exporting clips/stems to sd card. Do your E2's have noisy outputs, and if so, how do you deal with it? I also have the tr8s, but honestly, I prefer the E2 for drums. Groove templates, MANY recordable peramiters vs the rolands 3 per part. But I will admit the roland has a superior sound engine.
@@MyLittleSynths I have literally read every comment on the Korg forum watched the better RU-vid reviews and can't recall this mentioned. I have 3 E2' with no noise issues.
Interesting, I suspect it's from the lights in the pads. Changing to say the stepjump control or something that doesn't flash seems to reduce the noise. Early on, I remember reading a combination of batteries and power saver off or something cleaned it up. I can't remember exactly. Do you commonly use the main outs or the headphone output? And batteries or AC power?
To be honest the 404mk2 has been intimidating, frustrating, and difficult for me. I use it as an audio tool box, audio interface, master fx, and a recorder. I hope 🤞🏽 to use it for arrangement and possibly live preformance in the future. But at this point in time it has not been very musically inspiring for me. Im in it for the long haul so I will get there eventually. Took years for me to gel with the original 404 15 years ago!
Its sad that the head engineer @ korg (i dont remember his name cuz im a jackass) that worked on the e2 project took so much criticism for something that brings so much joy into peoples lives! although i understand being upset over not including the sample function on the synth version. i beleive that e2 lovers should start a genre of minimal electronic music performed live named after and dedicated to that specific engineer @ korg.
I agree! There is Tribcore, not sure if it's named after the elecTRIBE or a tribal version of hardtek, but it's very popular on electribes. Those guys don't seem to have any problem with the E2 vs emx/esx. Almost 10 years now still my favorite machine!
Unfortunately not the oscillator select, but there is a work around im working on. But I think all parameters except oscilator and FX select can be recorded.
