You get up to 64 steps per part, per pattern.

No matter how you slice it, 64 steps is your ceiling.

Tempo and number of bars are just different ways of thinking about those 64 steps.

You can have 32nd notes, but you only get 2 bars. The result sounds the same as a 4-bar pattern running at double speed. It's semantics, but at least the metronome does not run at double-time. That's about the only reason to choose it. It's basically a useless distinction.

If you need 8 bars for very simple stuff, you can run at half tempo - which caps you at pseudo eighth-notes - the metronome runs at half speed because this is a workaround.

Tempo/Bar Number/Beat is like resolution/size when discussing graphics. You can have a huge low-res JPG, or a tiny high-res JPG - either way it's the same number of pixels.

Yeah, the metronome is about the only thing that actually changes in 32nd note mode. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

I don't mind the 4-bar thing, it's just a UI concept. Beat resolution is where the action is.

I wish that Korg delivered 4 bars along with your choice of note resolution up to 64ths. Then you've got up to 256 steps. That would be 4 bars of high res notes. Or 16 bars of 16th notes. Chop that up and think about it however you want - that's a nice sequencer.

The only way it could be helpful is sending the cv sync out, but that already has the option to double it so a 60bpm pattern is synced at 120 by the click.

i think all you guys already have developed the best wishlist for E2 here, hope Korg can make it! And i just wanna add one more in the list, it is about optimize the workflow and more user friendly.

when we are on the stage, we always want to switch between parts and tweak things fast. <> is too slow, so we use Trigger(hold)+parts pad to change, but the problem is if u switching parts like this, u will stay in Trigger mode only, we have to keep switching mode bk...

eg1: performing live in Part Mute mode, if Trigger(hold)+pad wanna switch to synth bass and tweak filter, u will endup in the trigger mode, need to go bk Part Mute mode everytime u switch.

eg2: playing uni-saw in keyboard mode with the seq, Trigger(hold)+pad to switch another instrument part, again you cant play the keys now cos we are in trigger mode.

idk, this like a bug for me......
it can fix by "momentary hold trigger" and then+pad(the part you wanna change to), make it won't change your current mode.

i think it is important to keep us in current mode when playing e2.

Small thing, but very annoying and probably easy to fix:

When you enter new characters to save your pattern name, the cycle for each letter begins with marks and numbers, it would be better if it just started with „A”. Which creates an extra mile for text entry that already is not easy.

Also it should loop endlessly, so for example you start with the letter A, turn the data dial left and then you start accessing marks and numbers that are after the latin alfabet.

as above and more samples!

Here's one that could be very helpful:

An update so that holding Shift+Part Erase erases EVERYTHING, not just the pad you hold.
