I just wanted to share with the group the new list of feature implementations that I will be requesting to Korg after the 1.10 update.

I have grown more used to a lot of the quirks but these little changes could REALLY make the Electribe into a GREAT solo electronic machine for live work

1. MOMENTARY mode for MUTE so you can HOLD mute down to select the parts you want to mute and then go straight back to the mode you were working in upon release

2. ODD STEPPER/EVEN STEPPER/DOUBLE/HALF etc modes and STEP JUMP modes to stay in time with the global timing (or an easy way to resync all parts seamlessly) ....to me these modes are the best potential that this unit has but I am not using them simply because in a live performance 9 out of 10 times, using these modes leaves my layers mis-aligned both with parts not affected and with any externally synced devices.

3. 1/8th 1/4th 1/2nd SPEED MODES per part, this is REALLY important to let musicians make music live within a single pattern that takes longer than four bars to repeat, we can live with each step being "longer".we just need to be able to make longer passages.

with these little UI tweaks , non requiring extra processing power, the Electribe could be a really amazing uniquely usable unit.

Note decay carrying on the next pattern, letting the note die naturally.

What's the chances of them extending bar length to 8? There's just little changes I'd like to do on say bars 5-8 without having to use another pattern unnecessarily.

I agree with the OP. I also think that a flux mode, like on the volca keys that lets you enter notes unquantised would be good. This would allow you to half speed the pattern and keep the resolution. Note decay would be great, but is less of an issue for me now we have ifx decay. Finding some way to avoid the accidental pattern change whilst going for the oscillator pot would also be good, but I'm not sure how to best do that, I don't want Are You Sure questions popping up when playing live.

I think the sequencer needs an easy way to get velocity values per step. I believe they could find a clever way to do this with the track pad or the pads themselves.

Preferably this would happen in sequencer mode (hit the button), but I could live with improvements to step sequence mode (dive into menus.) For instance, use the trackpad to enter velocity in step mode.

At the bare minimum, I would hope they would make the step sequencer menus circular. Right now you have to use right arrow 6 times to get from the first menu (note on off per step) to the velocity menu. A circular menu would make this one left arrow.

I am badly missing some sort of song mode. I know a lot of people are interacting with this in live sets. I would like to use it as the beat box from hell - which would be f'n rad - with just a bit more juice in the sequencer and song mode.

I think Korg should fix issues with existing functions and features before adding new ones. They have enough problems testing as it is.

Flux mode needed badly, I would buy another emx2 if they add this. Or a es2.
That's a promise haha Very Happy

1. Notes and fx carrying over through the next pattern.
2. 8 bars
3. Song mode

Without these mandatory functions, the E2/ES2 will never be considered a real instrument. Instead only a toy...

The fx do carry over in 1.10 update.

Yeah I'd like 8 bars to, but the electribe was billed as a performance instrument, so with 4 bars you have to think a little more and interact more than you may have with an 8 bar pattern.

Check out mistabishi's tracks for using the e2 & es2, some damn great examples of polished music from these machines.

Insert reverb, i don't need master reverb.

. Time divisions per part
. Copy bar to next bar
. Enter notes via pads in step edit
. Song mode
. Glide on tied notes only
. Reverb ifx

A reverb bus would be ok i guess. That way you could also use the mfx for something different.

groove increments by 10 (as in the part edit mode for the note length)
I guess there are a few places to add this option but I don't have the unit handy
