Hello all,

My electribe was acting odd, (displaying knob values when I wasn't turning anything) so I looked out how to restore it. My problem is that when I restore it, all the patterns and sounds are totally gone. I feel like this might be a common problem? Im hoping? Anyway, if anyone knows how to restore the sounds that would be awesome. Even if it means losing them onto and SD card. Not sure what to do .

Thank you,
Paul

Hi, you can restore the original sounds with the USA_ESXSD_Factory.zip which you can find here: http://i.korg.com/SupportPage.aspx?productid=159

BTW, It doesn't matter whether yours is a US ESX or not, they're the same patterns!

By the way, random value changes are often due to knob jitter caused by a short on the pots from the metallic top of some capacitors below. This requires you to open the unit and insulate between the mother and daughter boards. There are several threads on here detailing how to do this.
