Electribe 2 - can´t record Motion Sequences

[Flippertribe]

Hey There! Im new to the forum and ive got a question:

I happily own a new Electribe 2 but ive got an issue i wanna ask you about.

It seems like i cant record Motion Sequences on the Electribe Music Production Station (newer Firmware 1.03) sometimes.

I tried on a pattern i created myself and the record button wont start to blink and to record the motion sequence i´m currently playing.

I checked that in the menue motion sequence isnt on value "off" - i switched it on smooth. still - no recording.

At last i changed the pattern to a preinstalled one and the recording of a motion sequence was possible again and played correctly afterwards.

Any ideas? could there be a bug in the new firmware?

Maybe ive overseen something in the settings?

Can a pattern be broken or saved the wrong parameter so a recording isnt possible anymore? I copied the pattern to a new slot too - still no recording possible...

Thanks for your time,
Philip

Not all knobs or buttons can be motion sequenced, the manual lists which parameters can be recorded. Also, there is a limit of 24 motion sequences per pattern.

Hope this helps...

Hey!

Thx for the reply!!

I know there are dedicated knobs that can be recorded... But i tried with filter cutoff (in the list) and i definetely didnt record 24 Motions in this pattern before...

It seems like it doesnt record the sequences at all... But the device and software seem to work... Its possbile to record sequenced wirhin the preinstalled patterns easily..

Maybe i should make an empty "start pattern" with all the settinggs inwant, then cooy this one to all the new projects and start composing...

But still... How can the impossible recording issue be? I dont get it...

Try it on one of the INIT patterns first and see what happens.

[Flippertribe]

I will - and get back to you wirh results... Still id like to know why and rescue the pattern i did already...

[Flippertribe]

Works perfectly with an init-pattern.... But the pattern i recorded diesnt record any motion sequence... Any ideas?

Did you try clearing motion sequence data on all the parts on the pattern in question? Just hit SHIFT + PAD15 and then zip through all the parts with the left/right arrows hitting enter to clear motion on each one. Then see if you can record.

[Flippertribe]

Okay! Ill try!

Hey!

I did as you suggested and deleted any motion sequences on any part...

...still.. The pattern seems like it doesnt record the motion sequence at all... Its weird... It feels like the whole pattern isnt able to recognize when im using the knobs while activated record button...

Ive noticed already that some patches dont have a very wide range of edit possibility. Really locks in pfesets. This same thi.g seems habitual wigh Korg's productio. Oof boxes. Im likening this box to the original yellow scribble box.... heavily locked i.to the presets. By the time this reaches a Pro+ model, it'll be untouchabl e . Another weird behavior id seen was the loss of Amp EG in repeating notes with some patches. Where the attack is set far, but the note repeat sets it back xlose

I think there's still a few bugs in the Electribe. I had a pattern yesterday that no matter what I could not copy one part in. It would say ok after I was done, but the part still wouldn't show up in any location I tried pasting it too. It was an init pattern initially, and it works fine will my other patterns. Weird.

Okay...you guys think they can fix it wirh an update?

And: yesterday my leds underneath stopped blinking...but still work when the tribe is booting... weird weird weird

My problem is the lack of edt with motion seq. What a joke. There is no option to, neither bypass, nor edit any parameter of motion. The only option is delete. KORG, you lose with this chump of a box.

You can switch a part's motion sequence between off, smooth and trigger hold. It's under a shift+pad shortcut too (i forget which one right now). But yes, being able to edit them would be great.

Especially since every electribe in history has been able to edit motion sequences. This is a deal breaker for my workflow. I'm so glad I didn't preorder this, I was waiting for the sampler but korg better make some changes or I'm passing on both.
