Wouldn't it be great if you in sequencer mode could just use the <and>-buttons to chose the part of the 4/4 beat and just use a knob to change the key?Automageddon wrote:I just want a melodic step-sequencer, in sequencer mode I want to be able to enter notes or chords!
D--n, if I had sold my MC808 for this, I would have been very upset. Knowing what I know now, I would have gotten an iPad Air 2 or iPad Mini whatever number they are on and filled it with the electribe apps and other apps to help my laziness in recording.markxl1 wrote:I sold my roland mc 808 to buy either an ipad air2 running gadget or a new electribe..... unfortunately, I love hardware.
So until korg give us the option to copy parts from different patterns, import new samples, more IFX options I'll always feel conned.
I just can't seem to put together any decent beats or tunes together on it and certainly not as good as the demo patterns.
BOO
Oh god, nevermind, haha. I saw 808. Eh, I think he's still a step ahead of where he would be otherwise.ElectribeNut wrote:Uhhh...I am assuming you mean a TR-808 and not the MC-808.

I wouldn't. Once you get a basic rhythm track going with about six or seven drum sounds, you're left with only one or two parts for actual synth melodies.apapdop wrote:I was thinking, if Korg said "Right, you can have seamless pattern changes, no release/IFX tails cut short, no amp envelope pops and clicks, no note stealing due to an underpowered CPU... BUT... it'll cost you.. Only 8 parts per pattern." I think i'd go for that.

I have owned at one point, still have some, every single Electribe ever made. I hope like many of you. There are pro's and con's to every unit. This one, for now, has more cons than pros at the moment.
My biggest complaint that keeps me from making better sounds and music is the lack of step edit for motion sequences. So this is my number one hope for the next firmware version and part import from different patterns.
I personally don't think we are going to see an update/change until they release the sampler version. Unfortunately this isn't like video game updates. Fingers crossed they prove me wrong.
I guess i'm focusing a little too much on my workflow, using something else to provide the drums and piping them in using the Audio In feature (i prefer sampled beats and i'm rubbish at programming drums...). This would leave 7 synth parts. If it changed patterns nicely then i'd be having different voices/settings/fx in different patterns, so those 7 synth parts needn't be "fixed" througout the track (of course you can do this now if you're prepared to hit stop, change pattern then hit play again whilst recording). Plus, i'm thinking that the 8 part thing could be an optional "high quality" mode, so you'd still have your 16 parts per pattern if you wanted them.roblabs wrote:that pretty much equals the EM1Re-Member wrote:I wouldn't.
