I understand that there is a Gate Arpeggiator feature in the new new Tribe.

In the Kaossilator Pro the Gate Arpeggiator has 2 specific perpetrators; Gate Time which really functions as a "wet to dry" mix of the legato effect and Gate Speed which gave specific ranges speed where the sound is heard from a 1/4 note to 1/8 note intervals.

My questions regarding the Electribes Gate Arpeggiator is there are way to change the speed of the legato ranging from "no legato" to 1/4 to 1/8 intervals?

Answer: Listen here:

Is there a "wet / dry" setting the controls the impact to the sound of the Gate Areggiator?

Answer: Yeah, but only through the menu. Here you can change the value from 1 up to 50, but 8 is probably the max you´ll use.

But I was wondering if you could do a demo and test to see if you can have the same sound, on more than one part.

Answer: Listen here: http://www12.zippyshare.com/v/82896096/file.html

I´m adding 1 more layer of the same sound after every loop.
Thanks for your answers. I'm not sure if I was clear in my questions though. Also I forget when you do demos, you tend to use Zippy and I was expecting a youtube video to see exactly how you are implementing the technique I was asking about.

I think to better answer my questions I'll use someone elses youtube video as an example:

This is for the question about changing Gate Speed from a 1/4 note to 1/8 note intervals
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNCzzVHtz1U

I think you did do this in your first demo. Did you use the kaoss bad on the tribe to pull this off?

My question about gate time was definitely confusing.

Right at 2:10 in this video example you will see that the slider on the Kaossilator is used to change the 1/8 gate speed's "TIME" or depth as it were. When the slider is up, you have the full sound, when the slider lower or down the the 1/8 gate goes from a real smooth to snappy hits to a really tight and beat like clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRlExT3WncI

Can we do this on the tribe touch pad as well?

I hope this helps in understanding what I am looking for. Thanks!

Kilko could you please post the link to where you bought your electribe from japan? I am thinking I will cancel my preorder and buy like you did.
Thanks!! :)

This could be a deal breaker for me. On the Korg Electribe Sampler website here: http://www.korg.com/us/products/dj/electribe/

It states:

"The patterns you create can be used in alternate forms as you perform by taking advantage of the "step jump" feature inherited from the volca series, or by changing the "last step" to vary the length of each part."

But I can't see any mention of a "last step" function in the manual.

I'd love to know if this made it in or not. Also regarding the "step jump" feature; what does this actually do? Is it on a part or pattern basis?

Thanks!

You can find "last step" in the menu structure list posted on the first page of this thread. It's in the pattern menu. Same for length: in the pattern menu. So I am afraid we cannot have different part lengths. I expected nothing else from Korg...

Ouch. That is a huge let down for me.

The text on the web page seems very clear that this should be per part, do you think this was taken out at a late stage? Either way I think the marketing blurb is misleading.

How about the "step jump" feature? If that is per part, can I just jump over the last beat of 4 to have an effective loop length of 3 beats?

I'll test this, this evening. If you guys want to, I can have a Skype-video chat with some of you for questions and "live answers" and demonstrating the Electribe.

My nick on Skype is: kilkofredrik. Just add me :-)

The time where I live now is 13.41. I can start the Skype-video chat around 18-19 today. So 4-5 hours from now. Please reply to this thread if you're interested!

I'm not able to participate on Skype, but I'm very interested in the "last step" and the "step jump" features, so let us know here what you discover! :)

Hope to get my electribe soon. I have 2 questions....

1. can you assign midi note to each pad like you can on the emx/esx?
2. can you use the x/y pad to control filter and insert fx?

hope so but I've ordered mine regardless.

ps. thanks for being helpful so far and has helped me put together a plan for making tunes already........ 8)

Don't you worry. If you go through the Japanese parameter guide http://www.korg-datastorage.jp/Manual/e ... _PG_J1.pdf with Google Translate, you'll see that all these parameters are indeed per part (page 4 in PG: "2. パート・パラメーター" - "Part parameters"):
- last step, groove type, groove depth, voice assign, part priority, motion seq, trg. pad velocity, scale mode.

The menu structure on the unit itself is probably still to be updated to differentiate per-pattern and per-part parameters. In the posted menu structure "Voice Assign" is in the pattern menu as well, but it just can't be a pattern parameter.

You are correct, Msix_Anthony!. It seems they´ve integrated the part-menu in the pattern menu. I´ve taken some photos to prove this:

As you can see from menu number 14 to 21, It´s PART related, and not pattern. This means that you CAN decide to have that certain part (sound) be 16 bars, and another be 8, and another be 4, or 6 if you´d want that. It ranges from 1 to 16. This is called "Last Step".

is it quick and intuitive to change parts in the menu? What exactly do you press to do so? Is it just the part buttons or actual part pad (crossing fingers)?

1. Sure that these numbers are meaning bars?
2. Can these numbers also be odd-numbered, e.g. 3 or 5?

Thank you in advance ...
