Hey there - sorry about the silence in tip 20. It's still a good tip, you should use MFX on external audio - unfortunately, I got a copyright strike because I demonstrated the feature using an obscure song I thought was cool, and that's the thanks I get... the whole video's ad revenue being taken away. Even though I think the way I used it is fair use, it's not worth the effort to take the song's publisher to court.
Probably a bit of a long shot after all this time, but would you happen to have the separate recording of your voice track, without the music?
Sorry to hear that, it's kind of indicative of modern social media that the use of an obscure song to illustrate one point out of twenty can cause you to lose all momentary value for your intellectual property. And on what is a, let's face it, fairly niche audience. Suspect the problem came from the publisher rather than the artist, but still... Choose your targets
Tnx anyway
Can also use modulation on audio in
very appreciated tips!
Another tip, can hard pan tracks to give you 2 mono signals. A hard pan one way actually cuts all audio on the other side so works great. I mainly use the electribe for drums and bass. I send bass and kick in one side and all other percussion in the other so I can process them differently in my mixer.
I don't even own one of these, yet I still watched the whole tutorial lol. Excellent video man!
Just found other hidden (at least to me) feature... By keeping two or more pads pressed and, at the same time, change the oscillator/sound, the multiple pads are assigned to the same part. To separate them back, change the sound of one pad while keeping it pressed
Would you mind elaborating on this? What mode are you in when you do this?
Thank you for creating so many great videos with logical step by step explanations that go in depth and don't seem rushed. This is very helpful to me as someone whom just bought an e2. Just subscribed, loved your superego+ video too.
Sean Kenny thanks for leaving this comment ;)
Excellent tutorial! The best we've seen around so far :) Thanks a lot for showing out our Electribe Shift Skin! Best.
Where can I get your Electribe Shift Skin?
Cremacaffè Design I find the shift skin completely useless. It only shows 16 shortcuts and they only take you to different part of the menus. It’s really simple memorizing them and if you forget it only takes 2 seconds to find the right one because pressing them will not excecute anything yet.
I appreciated that immensely. I was wondering about the audio in options and it was explained in this video. Yay!
Best Electribe tutorial yet. Many thanks
Awesome video! I've been using it for about a year now so I was expecting to know a lot of the tips but there was a lot that you showed I had no idea about. Wish Korg put more info in the manual, particularly a shift key guide!
Thank you for this! Been contemplating on buying the electribe 2 and this video is a big plus on my decision making. Thanks again!
cool. note there are two version (sampler and non sampler)
Thanks again pops! I have an electribe and your videos have been very helpful in my learning process.
Very nice to sum them all up! Really a video to get back to if you've not used your E2 for a while. Thanks!
I'm picking up one of these soon, and it's awesome to know these tips ahead of time. Thanks! :)
I've just ordered an E2 second-hand, so the tutorial was a brilliant in-depth look at some of the "tricks of the trade" that can remain hidden, unless they are made obvious, as you thankfully have here.
I've had a couple of attempted C/Strikes against two tracks on my channel, due to a publisher in the states claiming i used parts of one of his artists tracks.
Fortunately, i was able to prove the parts i used were bespoke samples i made in the early 2000's, so managed to get out of that but yeah, it can be a bummer when it happens.
Thanks again for the info, subscription done. ; )
Brilliant tutorial, very nicely done! All extremely helpful tips.
Fantastic video! Thank you for this! Please keep giving us Electribe tips. I'm very new to using mine. I have the Electribe Sampler, but it functions very similarly.
Lot of great help. Thanks for taking the time to do these.
King, best tips I’ve seen yet.
Love this and go back to it every time I need a refresher..thank you..
Great tips, love your tutorials! Have had mine for a while but completely missed the "pad short cut", super useful!
Good video. Love my E2s.
Great demo Electro bro! Congrats and thanx!
cool to see you were on this device back in the day. you've come a long way!
Very, very useful! Thanks for your time
These tips are great, thanks!
thanks for this vid!! great info that i wish i had sooner!
Thanks a lot for this video ! It's really helpful 😃
Great video. Thanks
11 just blown me away good tip !!
Great video! Definitely one of the best for explaining some of the more in depth features of this unit. It's really pretty amazing all it can do with some creativity. Just wish I could copy parts from one scene to another. That and the occasional polyphony glitch.
You can
great vid. learned a few new tricks. thanks!
Great video, thanks! So many hidden features, it's a little powerhouse!
Thanks.
Thanks just love the tips
Very good tips sir!
Very helpful! Thank you!
Hey great tips and very well presented. Here's one more, hold trigger down as you press a pad and you've selected a part without making any sound. Good for live stuff.
Dang thanks!
Dustin Cassidy thnx
whoa!
This is excellent
Thank you
My dude. This video is excellent. I use my electribe 2 frequently. Did not know many of these features.
Thanks!
I'm french and i don't speak english very well but your tuto is really clear! Thank you so much from france 👍✌🙃
Thanks! tip 19 is one that I use a lot
thanks a lot .. some of these tricks will come in super handy for me. Especially the ones that help stream line navigation. Slow workflow has been my only drawback on this purchase so far, but hopefully some of these shortcuts will help . peace
Absolutely amazing thanks a lot dude :-)
Thank you kind person for this hidden treasures reveal!
Very good!! nice music!!!
thank you
Thank you very much!
Master level! Very good stuff. I would add a tip about sequencing external gear... I like to use Part 8 for this, set as OSC 409 / Audio In, with AUDIO IN THRU set ON. Set the external synth to receive on MIDI channel 8, patch MIDI in on synth to MIDI out on Electribe, patch audio out on synth to audio in on Electribe. Bonus: you can do this with TWO synths via a stereo headphone splitter on the Electribe MIDI out. Cheers.
That's an awesome tip Gavin! I added it as an annotation to tip 20 and gave you credit. Note annotations are only viewable on desktop.
Ha, great! That's a hefty annotation. Cheers.
Hey I didn't write it, I just copy-pasted it ;) People might need to use the pause button....
Hey man, can you expand on that. Step by step explanation maybe. I have e2 and e2S a Juno, Nord Lead 4 and Blofeld. So I have the Juno and the Lead in to the e2 and from the e2 in to the e2S then in the AI.
very useful!
This was very helpful
That was a powerhouse! I am just starting to learn how to do stuff, EMX2 is my first anything to do with music apart from listening and this vid helped me to understand a lot. Thank's a bunch! Whenever you get to Riga, let me know, I owe you a nice beer or something!
NGC1433 thanks and my pleasure - check out my Electribe sound design tutorial too - goes deep on the synth side
Superb work, neither in my entire Life I'll be able to Discover One of them
I have been thinking of getting one , for more relaxed music to play and sing over . you have done a great job of explaining some very complicated things within this unit and I think you for that . Im usually performing with a three string stereo electric dulcimer (billy freeze reverbnation) . But I want to try something different with some of my poetry and short stories , I really wish I knew which electribe would best suit my needs , This one or the sampler. I have subscribed , and once again thank you , excellent tutorial .
This video is very helpful
Great video.
I spent watching 10 minutes to learn that Korg didn't actually put pressure sensitivity by default on their pads but you've solved that problem very easily for me, all the while I'm learning more about the instrument in 5 minutes than I usually do by exploring it myself, there's some amazing knowledge in this video! Nice job, I really like some of the melodies and beats you played around with in this too. I tried the hacktribe firmware on the device and I found that it wasn't really a worthwhile trade and it can be a risky, so I wouldn't recommend it.
You absolute legend!
Good job mate! thanks for share ;-)
Big thx!!
Thank you!!
superb primer ... makes me want to explore
great vid!!! You should do other in depth vids about e2.
Top Video Thank you
Just a note on tip 3: if you select seq play, sounds will play only if a part is unmuted. So while with regular trigger settings you can tap any pad to get the sound from it, independently if the part is muted or not; when yo switch to seq play mode, the audio is played only if the part is unmuted.
Thank you.
super thanks
You are amazing
great tutorial. thks
David Robot my pleasure
thank you
If you like the electribe you will love gr-16 for the ipad. It has everything that is missing in the electribe. Its awesome
if you have one part playing and the other parts are not, you can let them play in one time bij pressing shift and part mute. then al parts will play instandly
Now I'ma have to get this with my Model samples...GUH! I knew the firmware would probably become something semi kewl...
I watch your videos about the Electribe 2/2s when I come across something new that I discovered about them to see if you already covered it. Most of the time you have but I am curious about why you haven't posted anything on how they work together via midi and could you consider it? It caught me off guard that I can combine the two IFXs and Master FXs and put one Filter in HP and the other in LP (like a BP) and moving one knob still animates other. I just scraped the surface but I'm sure theres plenty of other quirky things. Love your channel thank you for your informative posts. Hopefully the E2 isn't too old for your reconsideration of another instructional video.
Thanks for your comment! If you have additional tips please leave them in the comments. The E2s aren’t too old but for now I sold mine. I didn’t need portability that much and I felt the Maschine workflow and content suited me better. That said I do miss my E2 a bit so who knows..
Very interesting
Mind blown.
I own the blue one, I’ve found that if you push through the learning curve (e2 is a bitch to fully understand at first) you will eventually figure out all of the hidden power in this instrument. You don’t get this kind of sound in the price range so if you’re on the fence about getting one ... get one!
I have the red one, but I've found the same thing. Lighting fast to use, and feels like an instrument once you've got you head around it (I've had mine for a year, use it often, getting really comfortable with it now!)
really good u make me discover my machine better, 6 months ago ! where come from the voice ? peace from france
thanks
its look awesome
thx 4 your work!! big respect from Russia
Oddly, the most important video for the electribe has yet to be made. Hands down the best part of the tribes (since the emx1) is its synth oscillators - fast complex wave forms (sine wave combos are my fav - smooth to complex) with the turn of a knob. Yet nowhere on the tube is there a comprehensive video on each synth oscillators and what the edit knob does and with modulation added.
Hi, this is the most technically clear video explained for the fuctions of the Electribe 2.
I would ask,... Audio in, the entrance is in stereo?
And where can see the parameter/value of mfx effects.
Greetings
Bro, You are demonstrating the ideas of Korg Electribe in very nicely to watch and learn so can you please tell how to connect with Yamaha PSR S9 series keyboard to play along with Eleectribe samples that will play with any keyboard also benefit people like me who is very new on MIDI sampler
There is also a retrigger function hack. It is easily done by, while holding a note on the x/y pad, pressing the "touch scale" BUTTON to the right of and beside the "gate arp" BUTTON as you look at the front of the instrument. This makes it easier when typing, with your finger, a single note, to add rhythmic variation without lifting your finger, possibly playing some other note on the scale. I've found it useful when the gate arpeggiator isn't accessible or too time consuming to use, or the desired pattern needs to be manually typed in
Best tutorials on TH-cam
Carlos Ponce de Leon thanks so much - now I'll have to make some more ;)
Thank you so much for your very useful videos on the Electribe. I have question. If I have a note at the end of a pattern and I want the decay/release of that note to continue over a chained pattern, how should I do? The Electribe cuts out everything from the previous pattern when I'm scrolling them. Thank you!
Well thats a game changer! Thanks for laying it all out so simply for us :)
Ps Risky business running on low batteries :P
Got my 90’s shoulder dance going....lol
Great tutorial! thanks. Do you know if there is a feature that was present on the previous models where you could copy one part and paste it into another?
Victor Maciel thanks! Sorry I never owned the previous ones
Great vid, thanks, bummer hear about the copyright. Maybe repost a copy with different audio for your last part?
Thanks! Too many people linked to this already, it would frustrate people if I take it down plus not sure I have the original...
Thx it is a great vid...can you pls make vid to learn basics...I m new with this electribe 2 and I have no knowledge in music or playing an instrument in such.....yes I know I have to learn music first but I was thinking to learn over running..
Thanks! Yes please check my other videos, especially the Electribe sound design one. I’ve created quite a bit of content around this machine
Thankkkk youuu. I guess they said let’s make a station with 27 Easter eggs in it
Now give us synth electribe 2 guys a tutorial on how to make it function as the sampler instead :) preferably with the latest update capability. Much love btw
Actually that's kind of possible without selling it and buying a sampler - since it's a sequencer, you can connect a sampler to it via MIDI. Which one? Depends on your budget. iPhone? iPad? Volca Sample?
It seems to me that some people who really didn't care what anyone thought, threw alot of awsome effects and ways of shaping and molding a sound together, and said have a ball. This thing is crazy nice. Just imagine the patterns and sounds you can come up with on this thing.
IDK man, I might be retarded or just not creative at all, but I struggle with it. I'l sell it for 200eur if you want it...
Great video!
Btw, what's the song at the end of the video (Audio in) ?
Bon Iver, I think.
great video,
i dont understand why they didnt put "label" for the pad
Awesome video and tips! So since the electribe can sample record the audio in jack...what is the difference between the electribe and the "electribe sampler"? I'm so confused lol
No, it can't sample but it can input sounds from other devices. Check this out: th-cam.com/video/NOWyiX8T6uo/w-d-xo.html
@loopop can you make a video where you explain how to use and connect ableton with k.electribe 2 ?
What song is playing at the end? During the realtime effects tip.
Thanks for another very helpful video. Where can I find a list of shift functions for the row of buttons (Part
I have just bought a blue Electribe 2 but not fully learned how to use it yet, so your video is greatly appreciated. I would like to ask about your tip no. 20, applying master effects to audio in. Did you actually record a piece of the audio in and assign it to a pad, so making a snapshot of the audio? If this is the case, then can you effectively sample the audio in and save it to any pad? Many thanks for a really helpful tutorial and please keep up the good work.
Thanks! You can only record audio in with the red/black Electribe
@@loopop OK, more detailed bit of advice to ask you then. I have a Korg Electribe 2 (blue), a Korg Volca Keys, a Korg Volca Sample and a Yamaha SU10. Could I replace all of those with the Electribe 2 Sampler (red) and still have the same features and flexibility offered by them all? Deep question I know, BUT I am sure that with your obvious expertise that you will be able to give me some guidance. Many thanks in advance.
I have an electribe sampler 2, will these tips transfer? Nonethless, thanks for making this video and I just can't wait to get home and try these out
Thanks! yes of course - except in tip 20 use OSC/Sample 17 or 18 instead of 409. Stay tuned, more Sampler dedicated stuff coming
