[Disastrous]

Hi Guys,

I've just picked up an Electribe Sampler (despite reading a lot about the issues but there's not really much else that works as an all in one sketchpad for ideas like it) and have been coming to grips with it and have a few questions that I can't find in the manual or by searching here (is the manual intended as some sort of existential torture by Korg??):

1). Can you save multiple 'export all samples' banks? I'm not sure of the correct terminology but it occurred to me that a way round the limited memory would be being able to save multiple dumps from the unit - is somethings like this possible? For example, I use my 99 seconds up and then export all samples and then switch off and on, fill up another 99 seconds and export into a different folder? Or does this need multiple memory cards? If not, then I guess a high capacity memory card is pointless!

2). Can you change sample playback mode to gate, or trigger, as per normal samplers? It seems playback behaviour is defined by where you place the loop point, which seems bizarre!

3) Related to the above, can you choose to loop or not loop a sample without having to edit the loop point?

4). A more workflow related question - do you guys use multiple patterns when you want to build up a song? As in pattern one for intro, pattern two for main section or whatever?

5). Are there any good links to how people are using these or more in depth guides to workflow and sample management? I'm struggling a bit to get my head round whether I'm better 'exporting all' or 'exporting sample' and how to load up the blank bank preset I have seen kicking around here and so on...

Apologies for the dump of questions but those are the things I can't seem to get easy answers for and believe me, I spent a late night last night trying to Google it!

Thanks in advance...

I'm answering these questions out of memory, so I might be wrong. My E2S is sitting around somewhere collecting dust.

(Btw. you get 270 seconds once you delete all factory samples. In the end thats still next to nothing, but atleast thats close to what the ESX had.)

1) No. You need to put the card into your computer, rename the file, and put the card back into your E2S to save the next sampleset. You can atleast load different samplesets once the E2S booted up, however it will always first boot with the file called "e2sSample.all", which is what you get when you save samplesets. Because loading a sampleset and patterns takes half an eternity, this completly destroys any workflow making the feature unusable.

2) No, only looppoint I think.

3) No, set looppoint.

4) I hardly use the thing.

5) Not that I know. For sample management you really need to use a program, there are 3 different available, none made by Korg.

a simple new function would be great -

"EXPORT ALL SAMPLE AS.." [Enter characters]

the sample saving is really poor; its almost going back to floppy disk days or worse, cos each time i turn on the unit I have to manually import each individual sample, smh

I got the black Electribe Sampler. How the heck do you erase those samples one by one to reap the benefits of the 270 second sample time? And how do you Pattern Clear??? Kennyb135@gmail.com
