no matter what i do when im trying to get a long un ending drone there is always a re trig of the initial pad press i cant get rid of? ive tried step edit, tie but again that first hit always has a boing to it i can smooth some of it out with the release but in my mind i shouldnt have to. any tips or suggestions? i read in the manual that tie, shouldnt re trig?! so why is it or is it some other artifact.

Go into step edit and put everything to TIE

While recording hold the pad down and don't let up for at least the entire pattern. Hit the rec button to turn off record while still holding the pad down. That way it will be a seamless in the sequenced data.

You can do lots of tricky stuff by leveraging the record button.

Good tip, that's a lot faster.

thanks stein that did the trick. my method before was the obvious one. hold pad down with it tied and release after its ran the bar. always left that trigger. the rec button trick worked a treat.
gotta say. its a fun machine, owning 3 previous iterations of electribes , i was let down by the terrible manual, and some aspects of the machine have taken a few steps backwards but all in all for 450 its a decent box to f*ck around on. its no octatrack but its not 1600 bux either!
much fun to be had.

I am sure this is just a basic synthesis thing I'm doing wrong but I'm trying to get some good drones going and not having much luck.

For me the issue isn't the note trigger - it is that the note just dies out after a while. I'll hit play and get the initial attack, then it'll drone for a while, the sequence will run through the bar a few times but eventually it'll just fade out. How do you get it to stay at the initial attack volume or whatever?

Another kind of odd thing I've noticed (or maybe it isn't) is that if I initialize a pattern, hit record (so play is flashing, sequencer isn't running yet), play and hold my note for at least the duration of the sequence, then turn record off - if I go into step edit mode all my notes are already set to TIE without me doing it...

Are you sure that you're not running out of the 24 voice polyphony. I notice on long sounding chords or notes that they disappear in a middle of the bar. Then I go to the part priority setting and set it from normal to high priority. I don't do this on more than 2 tracks otherwise you'd run out of "priority" voices

Other than that, If I need a note/chord to play over all 4 bars I make sure that each step has TIE in the length (via the edit part mode). But be careful b/c for POLY1 and MONO1 the envelope will NOT re-trigger.

I don't get this.
Im sat in front of mine now.
Blank pattern.
hit record, hold down a single note, stop recording whilst still holding down the note.
Done. 1 drone recorded.
Even letting go of the note before stopping recording meant i just had to tie 1 note in step edit.
Make sure the Amp EG is off, or the note will just decay with nothing to retrigger it.

My amp eg is always on when I try this so that's probably what I'm doing wrong.

I'll try it later.

Hungover at the moment. :[
