The Kross 1 has "few real-time controllers"...?

I'm considering getting a used Kross 1 (I'm on a budget) but saw this on a review : It's also a shame the KROSS has so few real-time controllers. This severely limits its ability as a dynamic live board and as a MIDI controller and makes editing fiddly too. All editing has to be done with the ...

Opening up the e2 and cleaning beneath the pads

A while back I used nail polish to label the pads 1 through 16, and after it dried it started to flake off. I think some flakes may have gone underneath the pads and are affecting their ability to respond. Or I may just be paranoid. Either way, does anyone know how safe it is to open it up, and ...

Controlling Ableton Live drum rack with E2

So I've search high and low with Google, on this forum and others, and cannot find an answer to this. I want to take beats I've made with the E2 and put the MIDI into a drum rack in Live, with each MIDI channel going to a different note. Similar to this but basically opposite. The best I can get is ...

Just a note on the chords: the EMX cannot do custom chords while the E2 can, which was pretty much all the reason I needed to go with the new one. I have a friend with an EMX I've played extensively with and I know I'd be less satisfied with it, even with all the E2's shortcomings. Another nice ...

Very nice, wish I had some sticker paper. I tried to label the pads 1 through 16 with nail polish which didn't last long. I think I'll try white out next, as having the pads labelled was a huge help for me with a lot of things.

Polyphony limit

Hello, so I'm getting really frustrated with the E2's polyphony limit. I read it can play 24 sounds at once but it seems to start dropping sounds at 8 or so. I was wondering if there are any techniques to avoid hitting this limit so easily. Also, has anyone else noticed that if you're playing with a ...

These were fantastic!! Some fine moves and ideas you've got there. It's great to hear more people coming forward with their Grey Electribe tracks, keep 'em coming and don't be shy. Thanks! Your e2 song "Bad Juju" is very cool! I don't know why the Electribe seems to have a reputation of being only ...

Sorry to resurrect this but... Is this happening on parts 13-16? Choke groups? I'm embarrassed to say this was my whole problem all along. I'm amazed I didn't think of that. Thanks much for the advice, you saved me a lot of misery! Just when I think the E2 is as much of a buggy mess as people say it ...

USB connectivity not working with new Electribe

Is it possible to use USB with Windows XP SP3 32-bit? The official Korg driver is only for newer versions of Windows. All I want is to use the Electribe as a MIDI controller and send MIDI to it from the PC. I can't get Ableton to see the Electribe. :shock: :x :( EDIT: Well, Korg's driver software ...

Try clearing motion sequence. Didn't work, unfortunately. Only way I've gotten around it is just to copy a blank pattern over the current one and start again. I tried copying another part and redoing the part which didn't work. I haven't tried redoing the whole pattern cuz that would just be awful ...

Steps not playing for no apparent reason

Hi, so I am madly in love with my Electribe 2 but at the moment we're not getting along so well.... I have a problem sometimes where I have a part that plays just fine, until all of a sudden certain steps won't play. They're turned on in sequencer mode, step edit mode shows the velocity is high ...

A couple Electribe 2 questions

Just got me an Electribe 2, and it strikes me as pretty damn awesome. Except it froze on me within a few hours of buying it. I had a beat going and triggered a synth if I remember correctly, and it hung on me. I had to unplug it from the wall. I seem to have OS version 1.05 which is weird since it ...
