New electribe Tips and Tricks

I think this was posted elsewhere, but I thought it might add it here.

This time a hardware tip.

The E2's interface is layed out flat, not at an angle like some other grooveboxes. So when you're working with it on a desk your posture is bad, especially for a longer session.

This cheap IKEA laptop stand can upgrade your ergonomy:

I've tested it, you can hit the pads an it does stand still, does not wobble.
I'm also using it with Volcas and a Beatstep.

dude i WISH my electribe was flat... it's actually bent a tiny bit, whenever i put it on a flat surface it wobbles..... i thought it was the rubber feet so i added new ones and still did the same thing..... i could send it back.. but knowing there are zero electribes except mine and another person's available in montreal. i think i'll just learn to live with it.

Just out of curiosity what is your serial number? maybe we can trace this problem to an early production batch?

Yep, same problem here. But i mostly use it on the couch so its not a huge problem for me.

Mine wobbles a bit on a table, but it's mostly propped up in a stand. Shame though...

I've had a few bits of gear over the years that wobbled slightly at first. You can usually bend them back by putting the opposite corner legs on the edge of a table and bending it with your hands on the other corners gently until it no longer wobbles.

Usually when i try to bend things manually, the problem gets even worse.

Mine is pretty flat but in some tables there is a bit of wobble. Just use a bit of cloth fabric on one corner. Don't bend it! (Can hear the sound of cracking LCD...)

I remember my EMX 1 being wobbly, but my EMX2 is pretty flat

Especially since the electribe2 case is Zinc die cast...
Not sure it bends that well.
