Hi all, im new on this forum, had red and followed this forum since the first rumours about the new electribes appeared.
I got my electribe 2 since december and i came on a new suggestion. Not sure if Someone already mentioned this but a masterfx lock would by very handy.
Cause now i need to program the mfx all the same for each pattern, but if you are able to lock it, like the bpm you can change it really on the fly to make smooth transitions.

I am very pleased with my new ELECTRIBE 2! But it's very different from the EMX, you will want to take time to learn this machine, and structure your Patterns appropriately to it's architecture.

Reviews, Etc.

More Feature Requests ( in addition to those listed ) -

Save without making an audible beat glitch. EMX could do it.

I'd like the option to use to color lights on battery power if I want! Let's remind people I'm not using just an iPad! ( Right now, they only work when the unit is plugged in. BTW - you CAN plug the machine into the wall without disrupting it if you are running low on battery. )
Has anyone figured out what makes the colors change yet? ; - )
It _might_ be the amount of voices used - red is near max.

I miss the "sample reverse" button on the ESX - how about here? Maybe shift+"Amp/Eg"
Also, changing sample start time - it does matter. Shift+Attack knob?

I also used the Roll / Flam button a lot, and it's especially useful for things like the popular "Trap" style. ( In the presets, they do it by running the seq. double tempo ) Why was that deleted? It's a shame to have to use an "effect" just to get it.

We need more Effect numbers - there are things you could dial up on the EMX that aren't available here. ( Also, as said, it'd be great to use shift to get access to a second editable param, as we had on EMX )

Note that there are no "turntable scratch" samples? Some of those could be handy.

There is a danger of "bricking"? I won't do it 'till after my next gig.

Hey VJ,

You can use the Roller FX for a roll/flam function.

In arpeggio mode, the Kaoss pad quantizes the notes if you set it to - BUT it doesn't do that for the first note! Which leads things to sound "off beat" if your timing is not perfect. ( On the EMX, this doesn't happen - the "Kaoss Ribbon" is quantized from the very first press. ) I would like to toggle this behavior.

( It would also be good to be able to set the Trigger mode to quantize the pads. MPC Machines use the "Roll" button to do this, and on the best ones, you can change the roll speed by a setting, or even pad pressure! )

It would be great to be able to assign the X-Y pad to do different things and save that with each Pattern - like:
X = pitch, Y = filter cutoff
X = which part triggered, Y = note length ( from 64ths to whole notes )
X = LFO depth, Y = speed, or any parameter! Why not?

The "Step Jump" mode is cool, and can be good if you practice!
Also, on the Volca keys and Monotribe, you can switch "active steps" on and off. It'd be cool to do that here...

I have a new wish for the new OS... this might have been said before i didnt check but here it goes:

I want to have an added control over bar length...not just have 1 up to 4 like it is now (or have independent bar lengths per part like it was mentioned here before)

I want to be able to select which bar to play as well.. let's say i make a 4 bar bass loop and i want to start with 1 bar but then i want it to go loop just the second bar....

Probably I'll do a YouTube video with Electribe 2, EMX and a wish list. ; - )
Hopefully some of our wishes will be granted in time for Electribe 2 Sampler!

A master "FX lock" could be useful for sets where you're transitioning between patterns.

It's probably not possible to have the reverb trail into a track where reverb is not the master effect, because the processor must switch over to doing something else. ( Unless they recode it to keep the previous master effect running until it fades out? Which means running two master FX at once. )

Starting to miss the dedicated delay on gen. 1 Electribes? ; - ) I do. It was also cool to "stack" 3 FX on the Gen 2's.

1) export performance recording to wav stems
2) fix the pops and clicks
3) fix phantom notes (I get parts sounding when I am unmuting them on measures where I have not sequenced them to sound)
4) let me turn off the disco lights
5) allow full mix to headphones and selected parts to audio out

6) as suggested by bingkinbo 'momentary hold trigger' to select part without sounding it.
