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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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'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. ; )
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!)
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 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?
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.
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!
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
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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..
I find the electribe 2 manual to be thin/basic. Im trying to figure out just how to delete a whole pattern. This was easy on the EMX, not so obvious with the E2. Is there a more extensive resource online ?
hi,in solo mode when you press a pad to solo it it solos straight away,it doesnt wait until the next bar.In part mute mode when you want to mute a pad/part you have to wait until the next bar,is there way to change this so its the same as solo?i.e when i press the pad it will mute straight away?cheers
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 .
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!
Hello! Was wondering if you or anyone could help me with an issue I'm having with my Electribe 2. I am using it as a sequencer. I have recorded on the Electribe a musical phrase. I am sending that phrase from the Electribe MIDI out to a Korg Minilogue XD so the phrase will be played on the XD. I record the performace on the Electribe but when I play it back the MIDI will not send from the Electribe to the XD. Do you happen to know the solution to this problem?
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
Great video ! the only problem I can't resolve, and that's really irritating, is i can only do 4 lenghts and not 8 like on the korg esx. Is it possible to do that ?
136 sleaze Wave one. Part 1, the closest thing to whompy bass in the presets but not phat enough. Can you do tutorials reconstructing requested sounds? and improving on them? I have the sampler. Maybe I need the synth?
I noticed there is no auto quantize for manually recording synth parts. I can kind of navigate this by tightening up the groove with "on beat" but is there a global quantize function?
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
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.
@@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.
hola estoy interesado en adquirir una sampler korg , pero antes podrias decirme cual es el maximo de tiempo de la muestra que se puede correr digamos se puede unas de digamos unos 10 min, e buscado esta informacion en foros pero no la encuentro, espero puedas ayudarme.. :P
Not the best light and audio quality of the video (something weird happens with the voice mic around 8 min) but really crazy good information! I was considering the Electribe 2 but if the manual is so badly written that it doesn't even cover all available functions I'd rather skip it.
I’ve been using the Korg Electribes for about 15 years now. It’s a deal breaker for me that they did not label the shift functions or include separate 16 step sequencer pads. I believe the ESX-1 is the best Electribe sampler. Great video though!
@@difflocktwo the shift functions aren’t labeled. One has to buy a third party overlay. Sure you can memorize it after you spend time with the manual, but it takes away from the immediacy of the Electribe series.
Great video. In tip 20, You were able to record the audio coming in. Can you then use it in a pattern? That would be too good to be true. Or is it just for previewing effects?
Yes, I thought so. What I have in mind though is more like a loop pedal that can be synced to an E2 so you can play live rhythm guitar or Bass parts etc, along side, and not necessarily going into it. That would be cool.
oh yes absolutely - I'm actually working on a couple of video ideas that show that and similar stuff (one coming this weekend hopefully)... stay tuned, this channel ain't called loopop for nothin' ;)
Excellent video and tips but could you use subtitle or lower the music volume? Or speak when no music? And set the camera to manual focus so it won't follow your hand. Don't get me wrong you are the man to take these very very useful tutorials I just thought I can give you some feedback.
Thanks! that was one of my first videos and you don’t want to know what kind of gear I was using... - hopefully I got better since ;) but anyway I appreciate the constructive comment
@@loopop Yes after I commented I realized this video is not so new... As far as I read you don't have the electribe 2 anymore right? Do you still have the circuit? Is it better for you? Are there something similar you like? Some kind of sampler drum machine groove box synth kind of thing in similar price range you would recommend over the electribe? I wish they make these things with more one knob per function approach again since somehow they always mess up the menu. And they didn't print the shift button functions to the front? What is wrong with them? Anyway thank you. And these videos are very very helpful indeed so thanks again for making them.
I don’t have the Electribe but I still think it and the Circuit are the best deals for the money. Of course there were a few frustrating things about the Electribe... otherwise I wouldn’t have made so many videos trying to improve it. Re Circuit: I still have it but mainly because I like its sequencer ui
I actually have both the E2 and E2S and never heard any popping. Maybe it's a malfunction? High levels? Audio input? Did you update your OS? Hope this helps...
EighthSphere1 There is a way to do that but I can’t recall off the top of my head. I do know that Korg provides PDFs of their manuals and perimeters and updates at their website and that question is answered in there. Also check the faqs on their site because that’s a common question. Always nice to have the manuals on your phone for a quick reference 🤓
electribe2 - all parts on midi channel 10 electribe 2 simple question does anyone know how to put all16 pad/parts on midi channel 10, instead of having them spread across channels 1-16. like a drumbrute, I want to use my electribe as a drum machine for my MPC to sequence on channel 10 thank you in advance
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!

I send bass and kick in one side and all other percussion in the other so I can process them differently in my mixer.
yes : this is available for any stereo machine source
@peterfuzz3887 no it's not. Some stereo pans do not fully cut audio from other side.
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?
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!
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.

cool to see you were on this device back in the day. you've come a long way!
I'm french and i don't speak english very well but your tuto is really clear! Thank you so much from france 👍✌🙃
My dude. This video is excellent. I use my electribe 2 frequently. Did not know many of these features.
Thanks!
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.

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.
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.

King, best tips I’ve seen yet.
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 appreciated that immensely. I was wondering about the audio in options and it was explained in this video. Yay!

Great demo Electro bro! Congrats and thanx!
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...
Good video. Love my E2s.
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
Now I'ma have to get this with my Model samples...GUH! I knew the firmware would probably become something semi kewl...
8:05 first time I heard of anything coming with the velocity off at default how strange
Brilliant tutorial, very nicely done! All extremely helpful tips.
Great video, thanks! So many hidden features, it's a little powerhouse!
Thanks.
11 just blown me away good tip !!
Superb work, neither in my entire Life I'll be able to Discover One of them
If you like the electribe you will love gr-16 for the ipad. It has everything that is missing in the electribe. Its awesome
Thanks for another very helpful video. Where can I find a list of shift functions for the row of buttons (Part
great video,
i dont understand why they didnt put "label" for the pad
Thanks a lot for this video ! It's really helpful 😃
Love this and go back to it every time I need a refresher..thank you..
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
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

Bought an electribe because of this video.
Great tips, love your tutorials! Have had mine for a while but completely missed the "pad short cut", super useful!
could you plz add CC subtitles to the upload ? it helps pause & check on the e2 while viewing ...
Thanks! tip 19 is one that I use a lot
Good speaking voice- no "um" or "er"- and good, tight editing. Well done.
Andrew Kelly ummmm.... thanks! ;)
I find the electribe 2 manual to be thin/basic. Im trying to figure
out just how to delete a whole pattern. This was easy on the EMX,
not so obvious with the E2. Is there a more extensive resource
online ?
Thankkkk youuu. I guess they said let’s make a station with 27 Easter eggs in it
hi,in solo mode when you press a pad to solo it it solos straight away,it doesnt wait until the next bar.In part mute mode when you want to mute a pad/part you have to wait until the next bar,is there way to change this so its the same as solo?i.e when i press the pad it will mute straight away?cheers

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...
These tips are great, thanks!

superb primer ... makes me want to explore
Great video ! the only problem I can't resolve, and that's really irritating, is i can only do 4 lenghts and not 8 like on the korg esx. Is it possible to do that ?
Sure - with a slight hack - chain two patterns back and forth to each other. Don't forget to turn chain mode to ON

It's always quantized to 16th s. you can use swing and groove to move off grid a bit
great vid. learned a few new tricks. thanks!
thx 4 your work!! big respect from Russia
Very, very useful! Thanks for your time
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
hi there! how can I copy bars on a pattern on electribes?
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.
@loopop can you make a video where you explain how to use and connect ableton with k.electribe 2 ?
great vid!!! You should do other in depth vids about e2.
Is there any way to copy a part of a pattern into another pattern?
Thank you this was very helpfull.. i have a question, what is better to use for just making beats the electribe or electribe sampler??
DonDwayne HD you’re welcome - instinctively I would say the sampler but check out my comparison video on this channel just to make sure
Okay thank you
Great video. Thanks
Very good tips sir!
What song is playing at the end? During the realtime effects tip.
Comment on fait pour copier un pattern ? Admettons j'en ai créé un numéroté 99, je veux le copier sur le pattern 98..
Got my 90’s shoulder dance going....lol
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
hola estoy interesado en adquirir una sampler korg , pero antes podrias decirme cual es el maximo de tiempo de la muestra que se puede correr digamos se puede unas de digamos unos 10 min, e buscado esta informacion en foros pero no la encuentro, espero puedas ayudarme.. :P
Not the best light and audio quality of the video (something weird happens with the voice mic around 8 min) but really crazy good information! I was considering the Electribe 2 but if the manual is so badly written that it doesn't even cover all available functions I'd rather skip it.
Great video!
Btw, what's the song at the end of the video (Audio in) ?
Bon Iver, I think.
I’ve been using the Korg Electribes for about 15 years now. It’s a deal breaker for me that they did not label the shift functions or include separate 16 step sequencer pads. I believe the ESX-1 is the best Electribe sampler. Great video though!
Learning the shift functions isn't difficult. What's wrong with using the same pads for different functions?
@@difflocktwo the shift functions aren’t labeled. One has to buy a third party overlay. Sure you can memorize it after you spend time with the manual, but it takes away from the immediacy of the Electribe series.
Great video. In tip 20, You were able to record the audio coming in. Can you then use it in a pattern? That would be too good to be true. Or is it just for previewing effects?
Sorry too good to be true unless Korg unlocks sampling in this device. To use audio in a pattern sequence external gear or get an Electribe Sampler...
Yes, I thought so. What I have in mind though is more like a loop pedal that can be synced to an E2 so you can play live rhythm guitar or Bass parts etc, along side, and not necessarily going into it. That would be cool.
oh yes absolutely - I'm actually working on a couple of video ideas that show that and similar stuff (one coming this weekend hopefully)... stay tuned, this channel ain't called loopop for nothin' ;)
Very nice. I cant wait to see what you've got up your sleeve then.
Here you go: th-cam.com/video/NOWyiX8T6uo/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the video!
Are you able to use an insert FX on your audio input? Whenever I do it the audio in sounds glitchy.
Yes, insert FX works quite nicely too - no glitches that I can hear.
Check your levels
Excellent video and tips but could you use subtitle or lower the music volume? Or speak when no music? And set the camera to manual focus so it won't follow your hand. Don't get me wrong you are the man to take these very very useful tutorials I just thought I can give you some feedback.
Thanks! that was one of my first videos and you don’t want to know what kind of gear I was using... - hopefully I got better since ;) but anyway I appreciate the constructive comment
@@loopop Yes after I commented I realized this video is not so new...
As far as I read you don't have the electribe 2 anymore right? Do you still have the circuit? Is it better for you? Are there something similar you like? Some kind of sampler drum machine groove box synth kind of thing in similar price range you would recommend over the electribe? I wish they make these things with more one knob per function approach again since somehow they always mess up the menu. And they didn't print the shift button functions to the front? What is wrong with them? Anyway thank you. And these videos are very very helpful indeed so thanks again for making them.
I don’t have the Electribe but I still think it and the Circuit are the best deals for the money. Of course there were a few frustrating things about the Electribe... otherwise I wouldn’t have made so many videos trying to improve it. Re Circuit: I still have it but mainly because I like its sequencer ui
@@loopop Thank you!
Hi. Any thought on how to eliminate the popping/clicking sound that can sometimes be heard on E2 patterns? Thanks
I actually have both the E2 and E2S and never heard any popping. Maybe it's a malfunction? High levels? Audio input? Did you update your OS? Hope this helps...
loopop OK. Cheers. Where do I found out which OS my ES2 is currently running on? Thanks
EighthSphere1 There is a way to do that but I can’t recall off the top of my head. I do know that Korg provides PDFs of their manuals and perimeters and updates at their website and that question is answered in there. Also check the faqs on their site because that’s a common question. Always nice to have the manuals on your phone for a quick reference 🤓
hi, could you activate subhead sorry i am french..
This video is very helpful
Where did sound go? Thanx.
