Exporting Audio In Osc parts to SD card

thebiglebowski · Post by **thebiglebowski** » Wed Jan 28, 2015 11:11 am

Hi,

In this topic:

http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/ ... 803ca11028

you've described a method that allows you to bounce Audio In Osc parts to the SD card with the Ableton/WAV export function.

I've done that but the saved wav is just silent.

Am I missing something? All the settings seem to be OK - while creating the pattern everything seems to work - the audio in, the midi connection.

Thanks!

Same here, but instead of a dead signal, I get the mod/filter/fx along with the motion rec. hah

That's a bit strange, it works perfectly with my volca keys when I use e2 as a sequenser. Do yoj have fw 1.03? Could you please describe your setup in detail.

Here is everything okay if I use the Electribe's sequencer to control the external device. If you want to render external audio you have to make sure that the audio thru setting is disabled. Maybe this causes the problem ...

Thanks Nick and Tom,

I have 1.03 and audio through on, I'll try the export later this day with the setting turned off. I've also borrowed a volca keys to have the exact setup like Nick described.
Previously I'vie tried it with midi usb + ipad (Gadget, iMini and other apps), and then with a dedicated midi interface (iRig Midi).
Also, I've always tried to process the signal with the electribes filters and motion sequencing. And some times one filter setting seemed to be stuck on the external audio, further filter changes did not affect it.

Also: both instert and master fx did not affect the audio in oscillator.
Is it supposed to work like that?

Thanks

Effects as well as filter do not affect external sound signal when audio in thru is on. You need to switch it off and in the oscillator section choose osc in (the last one). I would recomend to use e2 to sequece volca keys (just plug midi cable from e2 midi out to volca midi in ,make sure they have the same midi channel number).

Hey Nick,

Unfortunately it does not work for me.

Here's what I've done:

1. Part 1 on Midi Channel 1 is set to Audio In OSC.

2. Midi cable form MIDI OUT connected to MIDI IN in Volca Bass.

3. Stereo minijack cable connected from Volca headphone/line output into Audio In port in Electribe.

4. Electribe Midi Clock setting - Internal (Electribe=Master, Volca=Slave)

5. To audition the programmed pattern Audio Through was set to ON.

6. Then I've switched it OFF, like you suggested, and saved the pattern.

7. Then I went to audio export and exported the pattern as WAV ONLY.

8. Electribe switched off, took the card to my computer, the audio file is there but it is just silence there.

Have I done something wrong or is my Electribe kaputt???

Thanks,
Michal

Do you still hear volca bass sound in the mix during playing the pattern when audio thru is off? You should otherwise there is something wrong with osc audio in part setup.
is volca's midi channel 1 as well?

Forgive me as I don't own one -but haven't you got to record the pattern as an event first ,before exporting?

No. Just lights rhytmically blinking on the Volca Bass indicating that midi data is coming in.

Yep, it is on Midi channel 1 - everything MIDI-wise works ok, triggering from pads, playing back the sequence programmed in Electribe.
As for the audio - actually I've never ever heard any audio during export. Its only heard when the mentioned Audio Through setting is set to ON.

PS. Bonus question: what does the „Edit” parameter for the Audio In Oscillator?

^ As I attempt to do these steps, I really don't understand how this process would work.

If we are trying to record an external source into the oscillator audio-in; at what point do we "actually" record the signal? Because when we export audio from the electribe to a sd card, (through Data Utility), and the "working" graphic appears, how is it possible for my external device (minibrute) to be recorded? I don't hear anything or see my minibrute being triggered. Is this some kind of witch craft??

Does that make any sense?

Also how does Export P.set Audio work? After you enter that setting, it's prompted by select start/end from 1-64.

I'd like this to be cleared up too. It's not a feature that i'd use, but i'm bemused too as to how it could work. Is the electribe constantly recording the incoming audio signal whenever a pattern is playing? Bad juju...

Wow, it worked! Despite my disbelief, I exported the audio, took out the SD card popped it in my wifi hub, and played off of my iPad - voila!

Damn it! It does not for me… Can you please repeat every step?

Maybe something's wrong my SD card? Its an SDHC card, class 10 with write speeds up to 40MB/s.

This is really frustrating. This feature was on the list of things that made me run to the music store and get one...
