This is the petition wording that I have so far:
Help make an update for the New Electribes a priority for Korg Inc.
The Korg Electribe series is a Digital analog modeling synthesizer was first produced in 1999. Through the years, the Electribe series helped define an entire generation of dance music. The Electribe 2 and Electribe 2 Sampler are digital Music Production Stations that were released in 2014. They were created using Korg’s latest modelling technology, have an effect for every part, polyphony and velocity–sensitive drum pads. With this release, fans of the Electribe series were hopeful that the new instrument would live up to the legacy that the predecessor established.
Unfortunately, upon release, some important features were missing. While several of these issues have been addressed in previous updates, there still remains a substantial list of issues and improvements to address. With the latest update in June of 2016, none of the issues were addressed. With the previous update in November of 2015, only a few of the issues were addressed and the user community is recommending improvements to bring the instrument into the realm of “true professional equipment.”
Many Electribe 2 owners are frustrated in this lack of functionality that has led to a problematic workflow, hindered features, and the inability for some to complete their work.
These are the current issues and problems:
Voice Stealing: Unfortunately, even when no fx and no polyphony is activated on the unit, just 10-11 tracks can play simultaneously without voice stealing. This needs to be fixed.
Note cutoff on pattern change: When switching patterns, the notes from the previous pattern are cut-off. This causes issues with the "live playing" capability that the units were designed for.
Attack bug: There is an error in sound playback on the attack in some situations.
Knob (filter) improvements: There is a significant amount of "jumping" when trying to adjust the knobs in small increments. This could be improved with improved tracking of the knobs, or greater resolution of the filters.
Re-triggering glitch: There is an evident click-glitch sound of poly mode and pcm sounds when re-triggering notes. This needs to be fixed.
Song mode is lacking: One of the greatest features of the predecessor (older electribes) was the ability to create entire songs by setting the unit to automatically play patterns in a specific order to build a complete song. These new models need this feature.
These are the current recommended improvements:
Revise the arpeggiator to include Up/down, random, and scales.
Pads should blink in Mute mode.
Send CC automation values to MIDI out.
Decay and release could be separated (for release press shift).
Make the step sequence menu circular so you can left arrow from the on / off screen to the velocity screen.
Unit should have synced step jump so it stays in time on release.
Pre listening before loading samples.
Add the ability to loop individual bars.
Add the option for per part play speed - allow a single part to be played at half speed / quarter speed or other option.
When changing a parameter the display should show if the current value isn't the original value anymore (like on the EMX/ESX).
For the E2 have the step edit for Oscillator edit just like in the E2S.
All Step Jump actions and changes recorded and reflected in the sequencer in NORMAL record mode.
Set velocity numerically for each part; 1-127.
The units should have the ability to chain patterns together.
In Mute mode press/hold the Mute button to select tracks/pads.
Visual display of scales and chords played on part.
Add the ability to be able to enter notes or chords in sequencer mode.
Add the ability for streaming of samples directly from the SD card (potentially increase sample memory).
Add the option for MIDI local on/off and/or midi thru.
Revise display screen to display more information (knob values, FX info, etc) - minimum waveform representation on the screen - for quick editing.
Direct access to editing various modifications/parameters of each step.
Add the ability to copy/paste bars/notes around the whole machine.
Add step record function (step note entry).
Add the ability to copy chords and notes in step edit.
BPM LFO's should be parameterized by musical values.
MIDI channel choice per part (should allow part layering).
Add the ability for per part MFX send level.
Add the ability to be able to assign the X-Y pad to do different things and save that with each Pattern.
On-board Graphical Sample Editor (similar to Gadget-Bilbao).
Add a timestretch function.
Improve the step sequencer by using the track pad to enter gate and velocity.
Key transpose in sequencer mode.
Follow the playback position on the pads.
+the below received only 1 vote - considering removal+
For the Sampler; when in time slice edit when you have selected 16 slices or less you should be given access to an additional menu options that gives you the option to set all of these slices as parts in a pattern. (needs revision)
Shift + MFX Send should show MFX Send for tracks on the pads (like track mute mode).
Add MIDI start/sync for event recorder and to loop.
Holding Shift+Part Erase erases EVERYTHING, not just the pad you hold.
MIDI receive/transmit ON/OFF per part.
Display the steps in the Step Jump mode.
Make transposing of whole parts easier.
Add the ability to nudge notes.
Add the ability to enter MIDI notes via an external MIDI keyboard in the Sequencer mode.
Record Mute on/off.
Replace the main filter and resonance with the IFX versions.
Add a hold feature for the gate arp.
Add the ability to be able to program the mfx all the same for each pattern (or master FX lock).
Realtime MIDI LFO to pitch, velocity, length value, or motion events.
Add a preference to control the metronome volume.
Add the ability to regulate send level of each trigger to Master FX.
When Scale and Key mode is selected have it over ride pitch knob edits thus making the pitch knob always in key and in scale.
Timeslices to be loopable on the E2S as it was on the ESX with 1/30 of a second being repeated.
And these I think are too specific (but are still here because they got 1 vote):
Pattern re-arrangement software to make moving of groups of patterns easier.
For the electribe2 to be able to load a file named e2Analog.all containing Analog OSCs created by a VA software editor.
Add all the filters that are on the Electribe 2 to the Electribe 2 sampler.
Add the ability to carryover mutes between patterns.
Add the ability to export a pattern to a .wav file on the Electribe 2.
Add the ability to set a specific time for the sampler to record for.
Sign this petition to help make the Electribe 2 and Electribe 2 sampler updates a priority for Korg, Inc. We are requesting that they address the problems with additional updates so we can make the most of this incredible machine.
Please feel free to contribute suggestions for any wording fixes (including re-writing the entire thing if you feel you can do it better, as I have zero "emotional" investment with the above text). Also, please let me know if I missed any important items. Unfortunately, we may not be able to please or accommodate everybody.

I will change it to: "Many Electribe 2 owners are frustrated in this lack of functionality that has led to a problematic workflow and hindered features."
I am hoping that there will be a user-created pattern manager similar to the sample managers available for
