|
Hi, so I am madly in love with my Electribe 2 but at the moment we're not getting along so well.... I have a problem sometimes where I have a part that plays just fine, until all of a sudden certain steps won't play. They're turned on in sequencer mode, step edit mode shows the velocity is high enough to be heard, and even after clearing and re-recording the part nothing will play at those steps. This even happens when the part is soloed so it's not the polyphony limit. At the moment I'm struggling with a kick drum part, and I think when this happened before it was also drum parts. Anybody have any idea what's going on? I have firmware 1.05.
Thanks in advance. _________________ https://soundcloud.com/octodigitus |

I've had this as well a couple times, it's just a bug unfortunately. Only way I've gotten around it is just to copy a blank pattern over the current one and start again. _________________ Erik M.

I remember when I had this exact issue. I posted the hell out of this and I got was crickets from the forum.
That was until one E2 user had a solution to the problem. I can't remember what solved it but, and I'll have to dig around the answer. It was not a bug but part of how the unit functions in using the arp and the touch pads at the same time. I'll be back to pull up what it was. _________________ Korg PX5d

Here it is:
gsrosser1989 wrote: | Yes when I say activating I mean un-muting. Muting parts helps the problem because you're reducing the amount of sound the electribe has to process, therefore allowing space to flow between your sounds. I normally look at the pads on the electribe in sections of four, and think of the synth engine as being a polysynth and if you go beyond 3 synth sounds the device has to make room for the 4th synth. I think there can be exceptions depending on what synth sound you're making. Like say you're making a higher pitched sound to layer on top of lower more robust sounds. That normally works out and prevents the skip. But if you have all lower pitched sounds going at once, or higher pitched, the skip will more than likely happen. Same goes for the drums but drums and other instruments normally have less release than synths do so you can layer more of those than you could the synths. Hope this helps! |
After I understood this, my skipping problems ended. _________________ Korg PX5d

Didn't work, unfortunately.

I tried copying another part and redoing the part which didn't work. I haven't tried redoing the whole pattern cuz that would just be awful. It could be because it's one of two kick drums. Some steps work and some don't. I really hope they get this fixed in the next firmware as it's pretty aggravating. _________________ https://soundcloud.com/octodigitus |

YES! Motion Sequence was a culprit in many cases. If you have to many Motion Sequences programmed into the same pattern it causes skipping issues and one time I got a huge Motion Sequence error!
This is one of the main reason I have written so much about the problems of motion sequence. It is the one feature (as it is implemented) I hate the most.
See when you think Motion Sequence is off because you chose, in that part, to be set to "OFF"; motion sequence is never really "OFF". What happens is if you keep continuous recording ON and you move the knobs, those knob movements are still being recorded, even though you selected Motion Sequence OFF. I do continuous recording all the time which why I have grown to hate motion sequence recording.
So if you are like me and enjoy the awesome continuous recording feature of the ES2 or E2 remember to turn off the record button before you turn a knob.
I don't know how much this tip will hep others but it has helped me. _________________ Korg PX5d

I'm embarrassed to say this was my whole problem all along. I'm amazed I didn't think of that. Thanks much for the advice, you saved me a lot of misery! Just when I think the E2 is as much of a buggy mess as people say it is.... _________________ https://soundcloud.com/octodigitus |
