Hey ist there somewhere a good tutorial / explanation on how to effectively manage/handle samples on a SD-card for the e2s?

If not can we maybe bring together in this thread how to do this?

I am interested in the following (I just gonna bluntly say what I would want to do – would be cool if someone would tell whether that is at all possible and either explain how i can achieve that or link to a tutorial for it):

Sample-management:

1) I want to save all the samples with which the sampler came with (to be able to get back to the way the sampler was shipped.

2) After that I want to be able to delete all the samples that I do not like / do not fit my style, thus creating a custom sample-bank by deleting stuff I don't like.

3) I want to add Samples to my sample-banks (like the one that I created by deleting some of the factory-samples in step 2w1). How does that work?

4) I want to change between my Sample-banks for a certain project.

5) I want to start a sample-bank from scratch and add Samples only if I like them for a project, thus not having cluttered sample-banks. Maybe this way one would also have way more space for longer/more custom samples?!

Pattern-management:

1p) How do I save all the patterns including the factory-presets?

2p) Can I then delete all the patterns I do not like and have several Pattern-banks that maybe only contain patterns for one specific project?


I read that some of that stuff is possible by renaming files etc... But I havent found good tutorials for this.
Maybe I am also asking the wrong questions and you guys have a different ways how to deal with these problems.


Thanks ALOT in advance!

If you are a PC user you'll be able to take full advantage of the Sample editor developed by Brakio: http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=101780&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

It has been since updated to work with the latest ES2 update and has a lot of sample editing features.

This one: http://www.appification.de/ElectribeSampleManager/ was developed by Spleen. Though it does not have all the features of Brakio's, it is quite stable and the best solution for MAC users. Before the Brakio editor I relied on Spleen's PC version, heavily.

For sample editing for the ES2 Spleen and Brakio have the two top editors!

It should also be working on MAC, if you learn how to build from sources with Python. Not so difficult really:

- Download Python 3.5.2 or newer: https://www.python.org/downloads/mac-osx/
- Make sure it installs "pip" aswell, its a package manager. if it doesn't you need to install it. Google how it works. You can check if it works by typing

Nice thanks for the explanation!
I will definitely try that. Sounds very do-able. I am not afraid of the console and a bit of python

Looking very much forward to it.

Good news for Mac Users!

Brakio will start work on a Mac version of is awesome sample editor:

[lqlwle]

Tried to compile the python-file myself. Sadly there is a syntax-error somewhere in the code that throws an error and doesn't let me compile.

I double-checked the file and line in the editor and just installed a linter (inline error finder) for python (since I have no clue of python) and it also finds an error in the exact same line.

I already opened an issue on github. Sad, was really looking forwards to the editor today :-/

Did you install Python 3? What's your OS?

[lqlwle]

yeah I installed python 3... but apparently didn't use it to compile it. I had to use "python3" as a compiling-command instead of "python"...
got it to work now

[lqlwle]

Well, now it doesnt work because it loads forever
There was already an open issue on github, so I probably just have to wait.
