Lest make a petition to Korg for an absolutely New Electribe

[gil videla]

[quote="Pastor-of-Muppets"]I think the point of the SD models is that SD cards are easier to find. since the menu structure and workflow on the machine didn't change, expecting to be able to use a 32GB card on a machine designed for 128MB cards is just wishful thinking

just because you can get SD cards of 32GB doesn't mean you have to use them[/quote]

true, but they didn't need to mislead the market by offering it as a new and improved model. They shouldn't have done anything at all. What they could have done is say "Hey electribe owners, you can now use an SD card" and have unit the plugs into the existing card reader. OH WAIT we already have that: the xD card adapter option avails us this.

[costi_ebay]

DV247 have them for £2700 for the SE, £2850 for the XE and £3100 for the UXE

good thing costi_ebay is willing to pay more than an electribe

I know Rhizome from last year... Maybe I will invest this amount of money but not in a PC box with Windows XP and a controller

Also look at the specs:

DIMENSIONS
Weight 12,5 kg/ 27,55 lb
Width 52.4 cm / 20.63 in
Depth 42.7 cm / 16.81 in
Height 15.1 cm / 5.94 in

They should include also a minigolf car so can be portable ))

You really lost the point in this topic and it seems that you in a way don't want an electribe at all...

gil videla - xD card adapter option make the "new SD electribe" a summer rain

And even with the SD tribe in the market at 500 euro they also can make a premium new model at 1000/1500 euro, a tribe for everyone's budget.

No worries! we'll all get a new electribe....
..... on 2014....

[FailureNotice]

The used Electribes sell so fast right now that I am pretty sure Korg is aware of how popular it is. I would definitley like a new one in a few years simply because I believe groovebox production is the way to go for me.

[laurent.conte]

I would also wish they came out with a new electribe, but i would rather add a few feature than make radical changes:

- endless knob with led positioning like the ones in the Akai APC40

- 1 recall button (press it along with one synth button and all its settings go back to last save, and if possible with 1 or 2sec fading effect).

- 1 knob to change speed ratio of ARP ribbon (1/4, 1/8 of BPM...)
- 1 hold button for the ARP ribbon

- get 2 real stereo output with effect/tube on it.

- read/load midi file

- rec button start at first note sent

- 1 volume level knob for headphone

That would make my life easier and would nt change much of the Electribe spirit, nor the cost.

I certainly would like to change other things, but i do not have those in mind right now, but if you think of something, be my guest.

Hi everyone,

I am sure a lot of you guys would like to have a new Electribe, powerful and updated to the technology of 2010.

Also I am sure Korg has the power and resources to do it, so lets make a petition signed by all of us electribers and send it to Korg. Lets lead them to give us an answer eventually, if they plan to do a new one or they finished the Electribe series forever!

Korg must know that will be a lot of buyers for a new fresh and updated model, lets make a information campaign, on all the forums, on youtube, all the places you can imagine!

And lets make a virtual Electribe with all the decent things we would like to have on it. Please let them know your wishes for this new electribe and even drawings with all features you would like to be inlcuded.

For example I would like to see on a new tribe with above specs, these specs are included in more of the actual gear on the market including in the Korg one.

Specs:

1. One single model (not two) with sampling and synthesis (from EMX, microKorg or Radias). Sampling should be used also in the synthesis chain (like wavetables)

2. Sampling should have one shots and loop mode. One shots sampling have a loop lock for continuous play

3. Polyphony on synthesis and on sampling

4. In loop mode to have stretch and pitch algorithms (for every kind of sound sources: beats, bass, voices etc)

5. 16 channels

6. Every channel should have the option for one of the three modes: synths, sampling and loops

7. Tubes must be kept and have free routing configuration

8. More swing options

9. More velocity options

10. Using wav streaming technology like Roland Sp-404, Elektron Octatrak, Beat Thang hardware, so the wavs have to be loaded in real time from the 32 Gb SD card and don't have any loading time, memory limit or compression procedures. Or at least to have the system included in the new Yamaha Motif XF, 2 Gb flash memory, but I think the first option will be much much better...

11. USB type-B connection for:

A) memory transfers for samples, midi files, patches,
B) audio recording to and from the computer
C) acting as sound card
D) midi connections

12. Computer editor and VSTi editor so we can use it easy in our DAWs in perfect sync

13) 8 outputs 100% configurable (I know 16 will be hard cause of the costs)

14) The unit must receive midi CC#, so we can use controllers for all the parameters: volumes, filters, start and end point of the sampling, pitch, FXs values etc. Maybe, if is not to hard to implement, to have a USB type-A for midi controllers that don't have midi ports, like Korg Nanos (Beat Thang hardware will have this included when will be out)

15) Resampling everything, including the computer and through tubes. And if it possible to record it in real time and playback like the SP-555 or as a loop machine

16) Kaoss pad FXs algorithms, 2 sends FXs and 2-8 inserts FXs (depending of the costs)

17) More filter options, similar to Korg Zero mixers and why not the including the Monotron filter in the audio path

18] Pads must be velocity sensitive

19) Turntables inputs besides normal inputs

20) Spdif in/out. Eventually Adat out for all the 8 channels

21) The step sequencer must have the option up/down (from note A0 to note C8] and to be able to enter notes to create polyphonical sequences, similar to MC-909

22) To be able to have a special mode for every channel, a sequencer step-lock like Elektron machines, so we can have on every of the 16th step different parameters like pitch, filters, FXs, start and end point of the sample

23) Possibility for locking the Mute and Solo button

24) All the recording modes like the MicroSampler

25) A button that in combination with every of the 16th steps to give us 16 variations of the current pattern

Looking forward to your feedbacks and your ideas regarding a new Electribe and how we can determine Korg to do it!

- endless knob with led positioning like the ones in the Akai APC40

I think your ideas are far more realistic! This one would definitely be on my wishlist. The Korg R3 doesn't have endless knobs, but does have LEDs around the knob to show the current value, which is much better than the single "original value" LED on the electribes. It would be great if they borrowed that idea from the R3 for any future electribes.

there is a recall setting (sorta)

- if you're jamming away and don't like everything you've changed, you can hit SHIFT + ERASE (back button next to PLAY button) and it will return to the orginal pattern. Do this again, and it returns to the last place you left off at. A great effect actually.

[cooptrol]

That is the COMPARE function, and it's not the erase button, it is the PATTERN button (which also says COMPARE on the top)

[Aciphecs]

That's a great feature for live performances...can get some sick breakdowns if programmed\used correctly!

[djkenstone]

Endless knobs !

But for cost no need for the LEDs since the value of each knob is already shown on the display when turning it.

- endless knob with led positioning like the ones in the Akai APC40

This one would definitely be on my wishlist.

More sample space on the ESX.
