Pitch chart Electribe

Post by alex921 »

Hello, can anyone tell me the the charts for the pitch on the ESX-1?

A guy told me these are the charts:

00 = C
+07 = C#
+10 = D
+13 = D#
+16 = E
+19 = F
+22 = F#
+25 = G
+28 = G#
+31 = A
+34 = A#
+37 = B
+40 = C
+42 = C#
+44 = D
+46 = D#
+48 = E
+50 = F
+52 = F#
+54 = G
+56 = G#
+58 = A
+60 = A#
+62 = B
+63 = C

But im not sure, because the manual (page 47) states something else http://i.korg.com/ESX1

Ive tried looking on the notes in ableton with the spectrum , but havent had much luck with that.

Can anyone give me a definite answer? Thanks!

Would the sample your using to test affect these results at all?

Say you have rootnote that is an B, the concept remains the same and you still need these values when you want to change notes. + 6 , +9 etc.
-07 , -10 etc. etc.

I used a single cycle waveform, which was exactly 675 notes long. Which is a C note, according to abletons tuner.

there is a pitch chart in the manual, which is right when you want to pitch it up, but the manual is wrong when you pitch it down, They had the values wrong, ive came to the conclusion, when you want to pitch it down,, you need these values: -07 , -10 etc. etc.(see above)

You can test it out, if you have a ableton live lite or above. You can download the free beta 9.2 from ableton. I suggest you use a single cycle waveform for this. The Tuner device only picks up those, and (high pitched) drums

I did not have any serials, but I still found the beta on the web ;)

I work for Ableton, getting a copy of Live is no issue :)

I was just curious if someone had already done this for the new tribe, thanks though.
