great post m8

From the newly added FAQ section on the Electribe product page:

- Notes are sometimes missing during playback

When the electribe or electribe sampler reach the limit of their processing capability, a currently-playing note is sometimes turned off. In such situations, you can increase the maximum polyphony by lightening the load of each part. Some ways to lighten the load are listed below.

- Set the part parameter VOICE ASSIGN to Mono1/Mono2 for parts that play single notes.
- Set the pattern parameter ALTERNATE 13-14 and ALTERNATE 15-16 to the On setting.
- Don't use the following Insert FX which have a high processing load.
06 Ring Modulator, 18 Delay 1/4, 19 Delay 3/16, 20 Delay 1/8, 21 Delay 1/16, 22 Roller 1/32, 23 One Delay, 24 Short Delay, 25 Ring Delay1, 26 Ring Delay2, 27 Chorus, 28 Flanger LFO, 29 Flanger +, 30 Flanger -
- On parts that do not use Insert FX, set the IFX Type to 01 Punch.
- On parts that do not use Filter, set Filter Type to the Off setting.

In addition, for parts where the disappearing note is noticeable, you can set the part parameter PART PRIORITY to High. This will not increase the maximum polyphony, but notes of that part will be less likely to be turned off.

Hey thanks, your explanation was the best so far! Definitely going to experiment just to see where it leads

So maybe you figured that already for yourselves but when you make a pattern chain from pattern 1 to pattern 2, set chain repeat to a desired value and then chain pattern 2 back to pattern 1, this way you can overcome the 4 bars limitation and introduce variation in between 1 to 64 pattern repeats. Drawback is that you still need to manually switch to pattern 3 to get out of this loop but that's how it works

Because (and this is 1 of the big problems of voice stealing) even muted FX are eating CPU power - there is no chance to disable them.

That's a big minus (together with muted tracks) in terms of the ergonomic behavior. The E2(S) could be much more powerful if this would get fixed by Korg!

I love the new chain feature but I guess it still lacks an option to chain parts, right? E.g. I have two bass lines on pad 9 and 10 that slowly raise up. Right now I have to switch them manually after one part has finished.

Thanks for the tips Zabong69 & other contributors.
I'm still familiarising myself with the E2s, but perhaps I'll have something to add here at some point.

Cheers!

Use the Laidback groove template for Haas effect stereo widening.

For example:

Set part 1 Osc to M1 Piano
Record a sequence to part 1
Copy part 1 to part 2
Pan part 1 left, pan part 2 right
Set part 2 groove template to Laidback
Increase part 2 groove depth to about 12 - 20

If you hear a distinct echo, reduce the groove depth until you hear one wide sound. Edit the patch slightly differently on each part to increase the effect. I like it better with parts panned around halfway out so they interact in the centre.
