Electribe Sampler 2.

When I use a virtual osc like SAW and I hold a pad, the sound is heard until I release the pad.

When I use a sample instead, it does not seem to matter how long I hold the pad, the sample ALWAYS plays the same length adjustable via the release.

I want the sample to play as long as I hold the pad, is this possible?
This way I can vary in note length while playing.
And I can use longer looped samples.
Adjusting AMP EG / mono/poly settings did not help.

You have to set sample loop points. See page 6 of parameter guide.

Thanks. That works in Sample Edit mode. A bit strange because I want to use unlooped samples and for different note durations I need to turn on the loop?

But in Trigger mode there is no change, still only one note length. And all of a sudden ALL samples in memory are looped and the pattern I made yesterday is not audible anymore except for one part. Whats going on here. I'm going to do a factory reset and start over.

edit: I got it working now. But when a sample is looped the release does not work anymore When the Amp EG is lit then I only get notes of the same duration. When the Amp EG is unlit the release doesnt work at all.

Hmm i still dont get it. Am I doing something wrong or is this not possible?

1. Take a looped sample, i.e. a single cycle waveform
2. Loop this using the Sample Editor so that you have a perfect loop, no clicks or artifacts
3. Go to Trigger or Keyboard mode
4. When AMP EG is off, the sample will loop on hitting and holding a pad. When you release a pad, the sound has no release and I always get a click/artifact, always. This is not useful for looped sounds.
5. When AMP EG is on, the is no click on release, only the note always sounds the same length, even if you play short or long notes. I guess this is useful for one shot drum samples.

Is there a way to get looped sounds without the click/artifact on release?
Is there a way to get some release on looped sounds while playing various note lengths?

There is no sustain portion to the Amp Envelope. It's like hitting a piano key, the sound will always die out to zero, but at different rates depending on the decay/release setting. With the Amp Envelope switched off, the amplitude will be maximum as soon as you trigger the sample, and drop to zero as soon as you let go of the pad.

Have you tried using a looped sample which is longer than a single cycle, like a 1-bar drumloop? Do you still get clicks on release?

It comes with some traditional oscillator wavesshapes built in, have you tried using these?

I'm having no trouble with single cycles here. They behave fine with no clicking on the start or end. Maybe try some different wavs?

Hello! Im new here and the electribe 2. Have relevant question:

I have long samples usually. So they are loaded in electribe and i cant figure out how to retrigger them (by hitting the pad or holding it) so that they DO NOT play till the end overlapping each other.

Is there a way?
