From the Electribe Facebook group:

"BTW, If you already didn't know, each pattern is associated with midi program num. Pattern 1 is midi program number 1 and so on. You can use an external sequencer to change the patterns by sending midi program number to the global midi channel. Until Korg gives us a "song" mode, you can use an external sequencer to store your pattern changes that you can edit." - Jim Fiive

I've found some pretty cool ways for doing transitions internally finally. Mainly using the master effects, some of them like Wet Reverb have huge tails. As long as you have it saved as the master effect in the pattern you're transitioning to and from, you can activate the effect, slowly increase it to max, hold your finger at the max touchpad position while you switch to the next pattern, then decrease the effect.

A few others work pretty similar, but this one seems to have the longest effect tail and thus the best for blending two patterns. It's obviously got some issues like the patterns have to be saved with the correct effect for it to work. So you'd either have to use the same effect the whole set, or switch on the fly at preprogrammed points.

Still, it's doable, and for early days it's a start

this weekend i have a song i need to write from start to finish for a compilation album, and I'm planning on using that motivation to really get my hands dirty with the nitty gritty of the electribe2 and i definitely going to have this thread opened next to me all the time! I also wanted to mention the arp part size trick but someone beat me to it Smile

is there any way to set custom shortcuts for the trigger pads rather than the default ones that came with 1.03 OS update? i really want to have length as a shortcut since i use a lot of arps in my music.....

fingers crossed for an open sourced modular OS Very Happy

Length is already a shortcut, for both the pattern and parts

Holding shift + turning the value knob, allows you to jump in increments of 10 while shuffling through your patterns.

Like most music gear these days, the buttons and trigger pads seem to have a very fine almost waxy layer on them. I think this is either a left over of the manufacturing process, or applied to help keep them from breaking down in long term storage (ie, if they're not bought right away).

If you take your finger or a slightly damp towel and rub it on the pads and buttons, this will come off leaving the pads softer and more responsive. Also, they attract a lot less lint and dust I've found.
