Sampled a voice sample for the first since updating the firmware and when I exported all samples it became stuck at 98% and wouldn't turn off. I was using batteries which I never do but had to remove a battery just to get it to respond. It wiped all the patterns and sample data. I was able to restore pattern data but I cannot seem to get it to load my samples. The samples I imported from a SD card are still on the card but everything else isn't showing up. I get a "Error - Format Error" when trying to load samples now.

I'm screwed, aren't I? If so, I think I'm done with the Electribe.

Is this before or after the 2.02 update?

the 2.02 update messed up the factory samples also

After. Since then, some weird happenings had with the factory samples. After I found out everything but the synth sounds were wiped, I was able to load the factory samples but did not save them, turned off electribe, then back to zero samples, then I couldn't get them to load again. I think it's because afterwards I Exported All Samples when there was nothing on the ES2?

Either way..... I had almost filled up the 250 patterns and I now have started all over! In a weird way, it was kind of a blessing in disguise. I'm bummed that a year's worth of samples are lost but I was running out of space previously and still had a load of factory samples that needed to be deleted. Sooo I now have 260 seconds of time after loading drum sounds I actually want. Exporting works fine....for now. I do miss my 1950's horror movie samples though. :<

Huge credit to MusicRadar for their thousands and thousands of free samples. http://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/fre ... tis-627820 (FYI most are stereo)

Currently trying to figure out how to get 1500 for the new Pioneer Toraiz.[/url]

Next time you fill up, back up your work.

exactly the same thing happened factory samples gone just patterns and synth parts left; but a blessing in disguise as am now loading in my own drums and will start adding my own samples. after almost 8 months of ownership.

But I did record my patterns with the factory samples before the update

Yes, I'm sure most people know this already but let this post be a PSA! Back everything up regularly!

Just lost 2 sets of samples I did on the ES2. I did the 'export all...', which finished, but then I accidentally hit it again. Promptly canceled it and (incorrectly) assumed my first export had saved my samples. Booted back in later and found I had lost an hour's worth of sampling as well as the samples I had recorded in a previous session. Something to be careful about. Still was fun.
