Korg likely abandoned any effort to patch the electribes and these feature requests will probably be noted for the next product.

Its been just over 2 years, the EMX/ESX design was on sale for 10 years before Electribe2 was released.

Korg UK has just announced a firmware update for the Minilogue saying:

"You've asked for it so we've got new updates for the minilogue's firmware & librarian as well as the monologue librarian fresh out of the oven today!"

It seems to me that we've asked convincingly for a new Electribe firmware too but... I don't know what to think.

Not much fixed in the Minilogue firmware:

ver 1.23
Fixed priority of voices in release stage.

Ok, thank you.
I don't have a Minilogue so I haven't looked to the release notes of the update. I was surprised (or maybe impressed) about the "you asked, we did" statement, but your reply makes me reconsider my reaction.

there was acknowledgement from a Korg rep here where they said the following:
"We are aware of the petition and are continuously looking at ways to develop future improvements to the Electribe 2 and Electribe 2 Sampler. This of course takes time, but i can assure you we are always listening to the users. Making the code open source is a cool idea too! Don't know how likely it would be though"

I am starting a petition at change.org and would like input.

Please list what you would like fixed for the Electribe 2 and/or Electribe 2 Sampler.

The only thing I can think of that I would like changed is: to be able to use the entire capacity of the SD card for long stereo samples

Also, who do you think we should address the petition to:

the guy who seems the most personable (even though he is the chief Analog engineer): Tatsuya Takahashi
or go way up,.. to one of the Directors at corporate: Makoto Kobayashi

I don't simply want to fill the petition with a bunch of small fixes. I am talking major fixes/problems or limitations.
I want to make the fixes sound achievable to the engineers. However, if they can't do it, they should simply release a SDK for the software, and the fans will work it out.

Edit: I was also thinking about sending the petition to some corporate distributors (it may help).: product_support@korgusa.com info@korg.co.uk korg@cmi.com.au and info@korgcanada.com
But I am really interested in finding out who the Chief Digital Engineer is at Korg.
