I did actually make a diagram for the shortcuts on another thread for people to download. I'll find it.

I actually stumbled across this in a Facebook post a couple hours after I posted. The internet is big.

That diagram is super helpful. Thanks!

Menu Quick Access:

While in menu, hold shift and pressing <or> will jump you to the next group.

So hitting Shift + > from 1/26 of the menu will give you:

14/26 Part: Last Step
22/26 Step: Step Edit
23/26 Part Util: Part Utility
24/26 Global: Global Parameters
25/26 Data Util: Data Utility
26/26 Event: Event Record / Play
1/26 Pattern: BPM
= 7 quick steps going shift + >.

Hitting Shift + < from 1/26 of the menu will give you:

26/26 Event: Event Record / Play
25/26 Data Util: Data Utility
24/26 Global: Global Parameters
23/26 Part Util: Part Utility
22/26 Step: Step Edit
21/26 Part: Scale Mode
13/26 Pattern: Alternate 15-16
1/26 Pattern: BPM
= 8 quick steps going shift + <.

I think this may have sorta been mentioned.

When using the arp gate, make sure just to have the arp gate engaged and not touch scale.

Place your finger on the arp gate and then in keybord mode hold down a single not or chord. While you are still holding the notes(s) down releasw your finger from the touch pad. Then release your finger from the notes.

Now tap the touch pad. It should retriever the notes you had previously selected.

Very cool

If you want to transpose your parts using the PITCH-Button:

+/-14: A Semitone up or down
+/-17: A whole tone up or down
+/-19: Minor Third up or down (It's a bit off...)
+/-20: Major Third ...
+/-28: Fifth or Quint
+/-48: Octave ...
+/-63: Two Octaves ...

Have to try this later when I get home using poly mode. If you can do arps with multiple notes this'll be great!!

I've tried it, it just plays chords. That's a shame for me, they've missed a trick with not allowing multiple note arps.

This button allows you to select whether the output of a part is sent to the master effect or not. It switches between ON (lit) and OFF (dark) each time the button is pressed.
I would'nt blame Korg on this one.
oh right i missed this

I'll be back with other problems.
Right now I try to read if I can put hihats in 32 not 16

Use the 32 roller ifx

Couple of shortcuts:

SHIFT + TAP ---> set BPM
SHIFT + Master FX ---> set MFX type
SHIFT + Chord ---> Chord settings

So after getting fed up with my wobble, i decided to take Tarekith's advice and try to bend it a little by hand.....

Fot a few seconds i was scared shitless holding it and bending it slowly hearing crackling of the body.

and successfully the wobble now is completely eliminated! Solid as a rock!

thanks Tarekith

No worries man, although mine didn't crackle.

256K · Post by **256K** » Wed Feb 11, 2015 7:38 pm

well nothing got damaged so crackling or not it's perfect now....

all that's left is to clean the pads and find a nice cover (probably not an overpriced decksaver though.

if someone had time and compiled all of this into pdf and put online it would be great. unless they will expand the manual.
microKORG XL manual has 100 pages and it's less complicated thing than electribe 2.
