The Electribe 2 Sampler is, I believe an underrated machine. There is something compelling with the combination of reasonable price, build quality, great FX, portability, all those KNOBS, great sounding filters, ability to play samples chromatically in keyboard mode. The ability to run on batteries is home run stuff. If it had graphical waveform editing and 32 note polyphony (it has 24), it would be close to perfect. Oh yes, it would be handy to turn auto-quantising off, it can't be that hard, I had a Roland R8 from '89 that could do that!
Thanks man. I honestly don't have the mental capacity to figure this shit out, I just got the music in me. People like you help me grow, and I appreciate it so much, thank you, thank you.
Human shortcut's what you are.
Moon is shiny.
You a star.
Some of your videos are where I decide to buy synthesizers, and some I'm super glad you've made after I bought one... You've reached me man!
8:54 I’m used to think in Hex (Mirage) and multiples of 16 (0-127) because of… well, nerdyness. Once you think like that, is easy to get a grip of this specific technique you mention. If you sample a four bar loop, 0 will be the start of bar 1, bar 2 will start at 32, bar 3 at 64 and bar 4 at 96. So each beat will be have a lenght of 8. I’ve been sequencing the electribe with the Machinedrum, and it is amazing because I can control the ‘slice’, pitch/note and duration per step. Basically P-Locking the electribe (also with Hacktribe installed). It is an AMAZING machine, but I believe people hate it because it is not the same form factor as its lineage, people would love it if it would’ve been named Volca Sampler Pro.
another tip is to turn off the audio in switch when using it as a production tool. even with the volume turned down with audio in switched on, you here a feint high pitch noise. as soon as you switch audio in off it disappears
Best comment ever read on TH-cam! Thank you SO MUCH! I've been looking for a solution for that for many years!
Thanks dude, my cockatiel is incredibly grateful
this machine has so many weird quirks and I love it
I think this is a great way, or perhaps even the best way, to use the Electribe Sampler. It really utilizes the strengths of the device's resampling ability and makes it into more of an instrument in its own right than a half-baked music production station. I'll admit that I've had a hard time convincing people of its usefulness, as opposed to a full DAW or other device. But I think that its workflow is unique and more worthy of a chance than people realize.
Dylan Alford thanks!
Useful stuff, well explained. Thank you :)
I've always used korg drum machines. Started with an er1. Thank you for your vids.
Super helpful video. I refer to it constantly. Thank you for making it!!
I really appreciate your in-depth Electribe videos, very enlightening and inspirational... thanks for sharing! (My favourite tip may well be the FM radio one, that's a great idea :)
Agreed, great tips.
Thanks for the detailed demo. I have been looking at sampler that can change speed without effecting pitch.
Really very, very useful and inspirational. Thanks a lot!
Excellent tutorial many thanks
I have never used this tech B4.
I haven't even received my unit yet.
It's totally fascinating and awesome ... SUBSCRIBED!
THANKS!!
always droppin science - thanx
I just picked my E2S again recently. I appreciate the tips.
Thanks, brilliant tips and tricks!
Thx as always great video I love my Tribe
Great video! Thanks for reminding me that this thing can resample :D - I have my E2S for quite a while now but haven't looking into sampling at all yet...
this is great! thanks for this! I love tip 2!
Excellent tips thank you👍
Such a great video thank you
Thank you, Loopop!
I likehow ur videos are organized : )
cool, getting mine tomorrow and this gonna help a lot. thx
rad, so many good tips, thanks!
Great tips bruh! Merci!!!
17:45 Back in the early 90s, one of the running jokes with my friends was, 'Reverse that, put a little delay on it, it'll sound awesome.'
I've been missing out on that step edit shit; thanks 🙏
Thank you very much for the video. It is very useful for me
Specilly the OCS Edit motion thing.
I have been using it to deal with the problem of stopping playing samples when changing between patterns.
BTW, is there any other way to prevent that the above happens? any trick on that issue?
Thanks and keep rocking. Your work is awesome
I just bought my first Electribe Sampler. I hope you go back at somepoint and do your current video format and revisit this device and perhaps cover what you'd like to see in a Electribe 3? ❤
Ahh! The ubiquitous Birinban!
Thanks for the continued advice. e2s FTW!
Wenn das jeder so perfekt erklären würde, wäre ich zumindest, mit meinen anderen Geräten viel weiter. Sehr gut, danke und Bravo
Hi there. Nice vid. Thanks for posting. Curious if and how u’ve rigged it up with eurorack. There’s a clock out right? Or maybe something cv.ocd/mutant brains. Cheers
Great video and tutorial! I don't own the sampler but can you get around the lack of a sustain control (with the Amp/EG turned on) by setting a sample loop section within the sample? Would this cause the sound to "sustain" in the sample loop while the pad is held on and then fade out with the Decay/Release amount when the pad is released? Any advice much appreciated.
Jesus, 10 seconds in and that's already an epic shortcut I just saw for the first time now. 😳
Excelente !!!!
Genial!!
Nice. Cheers.
Dope video
Using the "OSC EDIT MOTION" I guess you could do a clunky wavetable/glitchy type of thing..
Decided to dig mine out tonight and it's more fun than I remember it.
Hello i have a question i want to buy the korg nanokey or microkey but do you know if any of this 2 midi Will work with my electribe sampler thanks and really nice video
Dang, this really does make me reconsider the Electribe... if you don't mind a quick question, how does it handle mutes? Is it a true volume cutoff a la mixers or is it like on Electron gear where mutes simply disable trigs?
THANX!!
Thanks a lot, man! Sample apps are amazing!
Thank you much for all the info.
Many Thanks for the vid. it is a real pity you can't resample when finger drumming with slices, unless they assigned to different parts
Hi Thanks for your great tips. Could you tell me the details of the microphone you used in part 7:25 of your video?
congratulations, the video was very useful. I wanted to ask you if anyone could help me with the pattern set section (the last button on the right above the pads)? because the manual is not very clear and online I have not found any information about it, thank you have a nice day
Could you please make a video with vocal sampling .
What has better drum samples loaded.. the sampler or the normal electribe 2? Also, is the synth engine in electribe normal edition, good enough to create *synthesised* drums?
Which would u recomend? Korg electribe? Or mpc live? Or any other sequencer around that price range
Hey loopop!! Do you know if I can assign the midi note for each sample? I ask this because I'm thinking of buying an electribe sampler and I would like to control it with my behringer rd8 (for drums), which, as far as I know, can't change the notes its sequencer sends for each drum part.
some one knows if you can set cut groups in trigger mode?, for example, you want to play 3 samples that cut into each other (sound only one at the time), and at the same time drums that are not cut by the other sounds
If the E2S had a waveform display and didn't have fixed quantization I'd get it in a heartbeat. Holding out for the Digitakt, personally.
After all this time I finally inally got an Electribe2 Synth (by mistake) which I right away installed Hacktibe on it.
I really enjoy the machine, the only few things I would like to see is samples loading preview and some sort lf loop sections of patterns,for example if you have a sequence from 1 to 4 and want to loop knly 1to2 or just 2 etc.
Thanks for this video, I have an Octatrack that doesn't see much action because I prefer portable stuff, and I am thinking of "downsizing" to the E2S (blasphemy, I know). question about finger drumming: do you have a way to record the pattern/sequence that you play or is that just for playing live and to be recorded elsewhere?
Yes you can record live into it
Now that interesting
Very useful video. But there is a problem. Just at the beginning, first tip - Import Sample, I have Upper Folder, Sample, and System but there are not samples to load! Why?
Hi, I am a guitar player wanting a device that basically functions like a drum machine but one which I can use my own samples and
trigger the patters I make live from a MIDI pedalboard. I don’t want to use a DAW on a computer. I’ve done fair bit of research and a Roland SP-404SX or this looks like it will be the best thing for that purpose at the lowest price point. I’m just not sure about changeable time signatures. I would appreciate your suggestion if you have any.
Hi- Is it possible to connect it to Novation Drum Station2 and use it as sequencer with it? :)
Amazing my friend. Wish you were here to assist me w my Electribe ES1-Mk2. I'm not sure what I can and can't do with it??? Did you ever. Use it??? or do research on it.? Great tut Amigo thank you!
No I didn’t sorry... good luck!
its apparently a great instrument, hope you have or will figure it out
I have a question, with the edit knob you use through this video can you reverse any preset sounds in the blue electribe? I never found out.
I’ve heard in other videos you can’t.
A very fluent and engaging tutorial. This unit is on my shopping list but, I think I'm going to have to wait until it reaches the £300 price point. Great to have a piece of kit that can go such a long way to making a music track but does not need a computer to function. Contrary to that, the Maschine MK3 is ahead of the Electribe on my 'next purchase' list. Thanks for the info
Been looking at the Maschine 3 as well.
+Reso Factor, yeah loooks like a great deal. what do you use currently?
I have FLSTUDIO Producer 12.x, Novation LaunchPad Pro, Ableton Live 9 Lite.
I'm looking at getting a little bit more out of the DAW.
The thing that attracts me to the Electribe 2 is fairly on the fly improv like Ableton Sessions with LaunchPad, all in one box, and still being about to drop Samples, import, and Re-sample, and Export from Electribe 2 as .als files back down into Ableton.
iv'e seen Electribe 2 on Ebay for sub £300. But they are from Japanese retailers. I'm cautious about purchasing one in case it's a fake. Have you considered this route?
What do you think about the launchpad. Are you happy with the purchase/device?
LaunchPad rocks. Works perfect with Ableton Live 9 Lite that I use at the moment. It's a fun controller and a great way to get off your standard synth keys interface. Biggest issues it still binds me to a laptop.
With the Electribe2 Sampler and Synth both, I'd pretty much have an Ableton Session with two 16 Parts or 32 Tracks and 500 ish Patterns. I really want them both.
Thank you for your clear and helpful presentation. The ES2 seems to get a lot of complaints; so it's nice to see some fresh tips.
Is it possible to modulate the start point of a sampler with a random LFO for example ? And can you place multiple kind of samples (one shots or chormatic samples on several notes) on midi notes (keymap ...) on the same midi channel , like a multisample or a preset on an AKAI or EMU sampler
Yes: In modulation select LFO to OSC
Hello I just got a used Electribe Sampler and I can't find the original 250 patterns, the '2016 Summer bonus patterns' and the 'blank patterns' file is on Korg's downloads page, but I can't find any copy of the e2sallpat of the original factory patterns, do you happen to have a backup?
Tim B sorrry no....
I am wondering if there is a way to make a sample play back only when the keys are held down? I recorded some chords from another synth which sound great apart from the fact that the whole sample plays each time I hit a pad. I wish to control the length of each note as I would with an oscillator patch so as to create a chord progression with a mix of short and long notes rather than having the chord ring out for 1-2 bars depending on pitch. Using the envelope doesn't seem to work, that just makes the sound shorter regardless of whether I hold pad down or not. Maybe I will have to manually automate end point for each step?
Thank you for your videos! Do you think that Electribe Sampler has still sense in 2023? Or maybe now there are better hardware alternatives?
My pleasure! The video makes sense in the context of the E2S but there are plenty of new alternatives. I still think it packs a punch for its price if you're OK with the sound and workflow
c. 7:45 What is your recording device? Is it outputting at Line level?
hey love your video really good explanation but can you tell me how to connect a midi controller like te iris keys or org nano key to my electric I have the red one thanks
Thanks! Sure, check out the latest video on my channel as of today - it's all about that stuff
Thank you Men really helpful
Does using many parameter locks on a sample use up polyphony?
Trevor Llewellyn not that I ever experienced
Really appreciate the tips!!! I would have a question. I want slice a 1 bar loop that is a 120 bpm, but let's suppose I'm working on a pattern at 115bpm. Should I set the ES2 at 120bpm in order to match the bpm of that loop and than slice the loop correctly, or I could just leave the pattern at 115bpm and try to find the right setting with the threshold parameter? Thank you =)
TechnoRecensioni match the BPM for sure - the threshold is not for matching BPM it’s for detecting transients
loopop thank you so much for your rapid response 😊😉

Hi
Do you know how to make a stutter effect on electribe 2 ?
like in this video? th-cam.com/video/Aea0cJn2Uvk/w-d-xo.html
Thanx for the great tutorial, Loopop! I recently purcased a used E2 (grey) and it has a weird issue, a high freq background noise, which appears when you turn the master volume knob after 12 o'clock. It's no problem when listening from the speakers, but getting on my nerves in the headphones... Someone knows is it a common thing and if there's any cure for that?
Thanks! Have you tried disabling the audio input? Make sure there's no computer connected too...
I havent seen i video yet of ES2 vs DIgitakt . whould be interesting
7:30 H1 represent!
Is there a aay yo actually crop the samples?
Could anyone help me use my electribe as a BPM matched clock for my DFAM / Eurorack? Tried using sync out into clock/advance input but no luck / can't find info online :(
Hey bro, I wonder if you still have this thing and could do a video on the new Hacktribe hack for it. It'd be cool to have a really in-depth look at it from a pro's point of view.
Thanks sorry I don't have it anymore
Hi !!! Can i audition sample before loading in to machine ? Thanks
I have the same question.
I'm thinking of using the electribe as a simple drum machine. How do I edit the velocity of the pads? For instance, I record a bunch of hi hats and I then I want to go into each hit and edit the velocity?
My Blue Extremes you have to use step edit, which is a pain in the backside. But, you can also use groove types which change velocities based on setting e.g. tambourine. They are really fast to use, fun, and sound great
@@johnchesters81 Thanks. That sounds tedious. In the end I got a really good deal on a Machine Drum MkII which has sorted out most of my drum needs.
Interesting that mine doesn't have the hidden Gate control? I wonder if they updated the software to remove it? Mine controls decay/release regardless of the state of AmpEG. Any thoughts on why that might be?
Love the video BTW, SUPER helpful!!! ❤
Try the menu, there's a way to change it.
How to delet a sample?
How do i stop loops that are several seconds long from being cut off? Works fine when i hold the trigger key down.
If ur still workin it out, check out 6:55 of the vid. It may be helpful.
hello! I just bought the Korg Electribe 2 and i have a huge problem, .Im trying to import a sample from a SD card on WAV format. On the screen it says that there is an 'Error - Error Format' and i've tried everything. Read some forums and i cant find a solution for this. Can you please help me
Great video. But is there a software that automatically sets looping points on wav samples and can it do it in batch (ex: set the looping point for a 1000 wav files folder at once)?
So far I've used FL studio's Directwave to sample vst synths C notes. It can auto set looping points.
However, when I speed up the files by 2 or 3 times with audio sofware like Audacity or Goldwave to make them fit in the electribe2 sampler I lose the looping points. Does anyone here have a solution for that? Thank you.
Tamatoa Cabral not that I know of but if you do please leave a comment here
awesome video, thanks. lik'd / sub'd
Hopefully someone can answer my question: So if I were to load a wav file piano sample of the note, C1, could I possibly get more notes out of the Electribe 2 by keymapping and pitch shifting? If so, how is it done? Thanks in advance. Note: I am using a midi keyboard with the Electribe 2.
It should just work - if you put the sample on say part 2, you can just send midi notes on channel 2 from your midi keyboard. It will also transpose, see: www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/8run47/keyscales_for_sample_parts_on_electribe_2_sampler/
how can i just make the sound
What are some of the differences between this and the black one?
I made a whole video on that
What does everyone want from Electribe 3?
upgraded display and waveform editing, multi effects per part, time stretch, more sample memory
Yes, match the Roland SP404 MK2 specs, 32 note polyphony, waveform editing (yes!), timestrech would be cool as you say, is multi FX per part too much to hope for?! I agree too, sample memory is a bit silly at the moment (24MB, lol). I would add the ability to turn quantise off, stack multiple samples on one pad, be able to trigger a stereo sample from one pad (currently it is stupid, taking up two pads). Having said that, I think the size of the screen is ok, but should be a high rez OLED one. The other thing is the shortcuts should be printed under each pad!
A working electribe 2. Nothing really wrong with the E2, it just feels like a beta unit missing final touches we expect in a modern product. Korg totally stopped development on the E2 which tells us they are done with the E2. It's never gonna be fixed and they don't want us to fix it.
It would be great if in a future upgrade they implemented waveform display
That would be sick, but I think it's lacking the needed processing power.
@@swillm3ister given it uses a Blackfin DSP and a ARM AM1802 its likely to be able to have plenty of CPU available, its more likely that Korg did not want to spend $ on the developer time necessary to do it.
@@MaksimLin Interesting, I didn't consider that. I feel that almost might mean there's possible room for individuals to tinker with it.
@@swillm3ister yep that's exactly what is happening with the Hacktribe project, but the Dev working on it has an uphill battle doing binary reverse engineering because Korg sadly have abandoned the product (while still selling unita retail!) and not released the source code to the firmware to let others at least do that.
Thanks for the video. I've watched it a few times. Do you know how to get a ratchet effect? I want to double or triple the triggers on a step. Thanks!
Does anyone know if the Electribe sampler or 2 has mute group function similar to an MPC? This is kind of essential for me.
Mute on the electribe functions as either a solo or mute. There is one sound allocated per pad. You can mute or solo multiple pads at the one time.
But there aren't mute groups quite like on the MPC. You can 'choke' a pad with another but you can't do this for multiple assigned sounds or pads as you can with a mute group on an MPC.
marco satiwan Thank you for the info! If I can play samples chromatically, that would get the job done just as well.
How do i get that label sticker you have. Please help
silver lord films check out cremacaffe skins
where did you get that grey cheat sheet thingy you put on it?
Dream On Nilsson check out Cremacaffe
thanks!
loopop How do you get a sample to cut off when you trigger another sample? This was a simple task in almost every other sampler I've had. Basically, how do you use the gate function?
Anthony B. I’m not sure you need gate - rather choke - which is enabled by default or the menus for parts 13 and 14, and 15 and 16. Let me know if that does the trick for you
loopop I saw that in the menu, and I am pretty sure I know what you mean. Does that mean I can only do this with 4 samples, and from what it sounds like, just 2 samples each cut off each other? I like to do sample chops, and have these chops cut off when another is played, which was easy to do in the prior versions of the Electribes. This really throws off my flow of work. Even in Electribe emulators, they include a function that allows you to set your samples to a midi group. I really don't want to hook it up to Ableton except for tracking, because my whole point of buying hardware is to spend less time looking at a screen. I've never had this issue, and I've owned alot of hardware samplers. If I needed to have 8 sample chops that canceled out the next sample pressed, it was done in a blink. Automation or creating a copy of the samples and shortening them, which would be a pain, and throw me out of interest of messing with a track.
Thank you very much for your help, but I have 7 days to decide if this new Electribe will do what I want and work within my workflow, and hope I can find the solution so that I don't have to get my money back. I feel like I'm missing something. I can't believe Korg would miss this The instructions don't give you much in the way of instruction.
And they did away with the Accent feature once they had velocity sensitive pads??? And is there only 1 bank of 16 samples? I miss the good old days of being able to try gear out at the store to see if what you are buying works for you. :(
loopop Basically what I was trying to say was when I press a pad of my 16 samples, when I release that pad, I want that sample to stop playing. This works in keyboard mode, but it is using just the one sample. Us old school producers who like to sample vinyl and sample chop and such, this function does not work for us in a simple workflow. We would have to use the gate knob and record the automation of gating that sample instead of simply releasing that pad or key, and pressing the next pad or key. The new Electribe Sampler is like 16 pads of one shots, which none of it's predecessors were unless you set them to one shot. I can understand removing the accent function because of the velocity sensitive pads, even though I think building a better Electribe would have included both options, but the pad release makes no sense without an option to cutoff samples, except 13 &14, and 15 & 16.
Do you get what I mean? I am down to my last day or two, and if I cannot resolve this, I have to return it and get the MPC Touch, which costs more, not counting the shipping money I lose. The Ableton Live Lite that comes with it does this, but the Electribe doesn't map well on it, and defeats the purpose of sampling through your inputs, and making it a true stand-alone sampling workstation. I do not get how Korg missed such a simple and very crucial and often used feature in almost all samplers before it, including their own Electribe series.
Am I missing something, or is this no-brainer common function truly not there??? I keep praying for a last minute reply that shows me I am wrong and missed the setting, but I don't see it happening.
WTF Korg???
Ther only way to do this is to the sample in loop mode. It stops then when you let the pad go. I hope Korg will put in a gate with a next softwear update.
ALTAR Ex Vandals Unfortunately, I ran out of time and returned it. I even emailed Korg with no response. To me, it's like they care more about their Volca series more than the Electribe series, and that''s a major disappointment considering how much people loved the Electribes.
I passed on the Elektron Digitrak to get the Electribe, and at the time the Digitrak was going for around $579, but they raised that to $729 by time my return processed completed due to a very slow return process. I believe that is because the Digitrak sounds so damn gritty in a great way that now I regret my original decision. It may not have MPC style pads like the Electribe, but the tiny pads/buttons do have gate, and I could have got a lower price MPD controller to take care of that issue (and velocity).
Now, I guess I'm going to go the MPC Touch route, since the Electribe getting the gate function is seeming less likely every day that passes, and the SP404's don't have midi out. I miss the good old days of being able to test gear out at the store. Now Guitar Center and Sam Ash carry very little in-stock hardware or demo machines. Ugh. The future kinda sucks. Haha!
Thank you though.
Apologies for the dumb question I'm about to ask but I've read the ES2 manual multiple times and can't find the answer. Q: How do I play/arrange sliced samples? I've got one of the demo patterns loaded and one of the triggers (pad 2) is a timesliced vocal sample. However, I can't for the life of me figure out how/where to access/sequence all but the first slice of that sample. What button/combo do I press to get all that sample's slices playable on the pads?
It is a bit tricky. Time-slice is very rigid. For using the slices in the same track you can only set steps on/off, but not reorder or trigger them in different places. Still can be handy for simple loops/prhases you want to match exactly with your pattern
If you want to play your chops in MPC style, you must assing each slice to a different part.
Finally, you can simulate free time slicing with the OSC Edit motion trick mentioned in this video
Anyway, don't forget that resampling is your friend ;)
+elhombredelisboa Many thanks for this very full and helpful explanation. It was exactly the information I was after and exactly the information Korg fudged in all Electribe Sampler2 promos and tutorials. I feel If I had known this, I probably wouldn't have gotten one - that said, the ES2 is still a pretty nifty machine that does some very interesting stuff and it's a lot easier to get samples in/out of compared to the Volca Sample so I shall persevere. I guess making music from oneshots is more creative anyway. As an aside, can anybody reading this recommend a hardware sampler for under $/£500 that does proper sample chopping?
+Dino Goldie, you're welcome.
Old MPCs and Roland MV series are cheap nowadays. Roland MV has an incredible chopping implementation.
But in the other hand, the complexity of those machines requires a lot of dedication...which I have not.
I find the E2S very intuitive and easy to use once you get used to
My advice is to keep on using it, and figuring out workarounds for the current limitations
And, on the top of that, resampling resampling and more resampling. You can always get the results you're looking for by tricking the machine with resampling
