- Learn how to write better bass, lead, and chord parts on your Electribe 2. This video teaches you the Key, Scale, and Chord Set pattern options and and how to use them effectively to write better songs on your Electribe 2 synth or sampler, no MIDI controller required. If you've ever wondered how you can produce great sounding songs on your Electribe, or if the parts you've programmed on the Electribe never sound quite right this video will help you!!!
If you like this video please share it with people who use the Electribe anywhere you can find them - forums, Reddit, Twitter, etc. I want to make more videos teaching you how to get more out of your Electribe, but I need your help getting the message out and bringing more Electribe fans to this channel. Thanks!!!!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing
Interesting and very clear video, you made a good and short explanation of music theory for non musicians. (You also helped to program an electribe in the rush, thank you!)
NICE mate keep up the good work
thank you good sir.. i’m struggling since the beginning with the electribe and now i have new hope.. 👏
THANK YOU THE BEST TEACHER. NOW I KNOW
Thx Bro.....just what I needed... :)
thanks for video learned something
This is really great
Thanks
just got an electribe this was very, very helpful, thank you
Awesome. Thank you for such a great intro into Electribe 2. Especially about the Major and Minor scales. It pushes me now to create songs my way using those scales. Thumbs up!
Very helpful video. Thanks a bunch!
Your vids have made my day. Iv'e been loving the Electribe for years but always struggled with the chord functions! :)
Thank you, helpful Moriarty.
Wow what an amazing video. Thank you!!
You deserve a lot more subscribers. If you keep at it, there's a potentially great channel here.
Hi! thanks a lot for the video :) it helped a lot!
Is it possible though to have the chromatic (I think it s the name for the black piano keys) keys on the tabs?
Thank you. I'm using GR-16 for iPad and this tutorial might be helpful.
That was a very lovely informative video so thank you. But Dorian mode is actually minor by virtue of its flattened third end of story
u just pickin on that idea just now on korg sounds awesome!!!😊can be a 80's style groove
UUghh...
If only I saw this vid like three months ago. I am an absolutely musically clueless goof unsuccessfully tinkering with my electribe, now I know what at least one issue is.
Thanks a bunch!
Edit: and this definitely explains why pads I tried to create suck giant soggy hairy balls...
thanks a lot
😀
Excellent! Many thanks from South Africa! :)
Wow great watch man definitely bookmarking this one!
I use my tribe for most of my writing it forces you to be disciplined and not wander to much and keep your work to short phrases. Also if you break your stuff up into multiple patterns its easy to change the phrase pattern around easily. when I get it the way I like it then I print it to the DAW.
Good video. The electribe is especially good if you are also a guitarist, I find playing the different scales and using the chord mode to write songs feels very similar to picking a few guitar chords for a rhythm part and then finding a scale pattern that fits over top of the chords.
Totally true. I don't play much guitar anymore, but it works great for the same sort of things with keyboard / piano. Sometimes when I'm practicing I'll set up a repeating chord progression on the ET and then just jam on the keyboard and improvise different parts in the same key. Its really fun!
Thank you for the video, good job!
Very useful mate! Keep goin! This has always troubled me.
Very Helpful! Thank you!
Fantastic tutorial, thank you!
Great tips. Give us more!
Does the Electribe Sampler 2 (red) work this same way with it's sounds?
Thx for your breakdown :) One funny thing was though that you said that Dorian doesn‘t sound good. Many Beatles songs and many truly great hits are in dorian :)
Terrific video!
So yea i can find the ian on my scale but most of the other names are still a big guess for me, any other tips to find whats a major scale and whats not?
I know scales - my problem is how do I save them so they are reflected in the pads!!!! I scroll through press ENTER but THEY DO NOT SAVE!!!!
"So, again thas't not a cool song" crack me up :D..nice covering the basics
Fantastic thank you 😊
Brilliant dude very helpfull.. THANX!!!
this only its for electribe version (all internal samples its in the same correct notes)..but in electribe sampler you can have too much sampled in too much "root note"...maybe you need adjust all sampled to one specific root note ...i dont know if my samples are in c or d...its one problem in sampler version
great video!! thanks!! muchas gracias!!
Hey I found the part on chord sets particularly helpful, thank you. Could you explain how you know what each chord set is? I wish korg provided this information in their manual but its not very helpful
Great video , thanks a lot ....
Hey, do you still have and use your Electribe?
I just bought an Electribe, but can't figure out how to record my own sounds without the demo song in the background...do you have a step by step video on how to start a song from scratch? Thanks!
Thank you for a great video!
The scale setting doesn't affect the drums, right?
Would it be good to transpose them via the Step Editor to have everything in the same key and sounding more harmonic or is there some magic that's happening automatically and I don't need to edit the drums?
I would say most of the time drum samples don't sound that great when you change the pitch , unless you are dealing with an analog drum source. Like the pocket operator tonic kick drum sounds great in every pitch, if you want to tune it , it will still sound like it isnt being slowed down or sped up ...but I'm guessing these drum samples are similar to a drum machine or a keyboard sampled at a specific pitch and it sounds kind of off when you go too far up or down from the original "note" maybe +1 or minus 2 for the kick to be more sub or flatters, or to get a snappier snare. But I would say your stuck in the "key" of whatever they recorded the drum sample
I need this video thanks !
man thanks it helped me alot!
Good information (chord set 2).
Thanks! I posted another video right after this with some information I meant to put in this video but forgot while recording. Basically, the pad layout in chord mode is different than in keyboard mode. So, in keyboard mode the tonic in the higher octave repeats twice: bottom row pad 8 and top row pad 1, thus making every top pad in keyboard mode the same note an octave above the corresponding bottom pad. In chord mode it doesn't repeat the tonic, so the top row pad one is the supertonic, thus the chords are staggered so that each top pad is an octave up from the pad one to its right on the bottom row. So confusing!!!! Hopefully that helps.
How are you doing user mode. Hey man, when you first got your electribe 2, did you have to get any firmware updates put onto yours? I am having a problem with a sound bug and a couple other things I'm not so worried about. Do you have any idea where I can specifically go to fix some of the problems from the original one, which I still have with none of the updates. I ask you because you are an electribe user and seem like you know about the machine. Thanks man, anything will help, especially with the sound bug problem.
Really nice video thx
I had a few random questions about 3 question one how to use the emx1 and up to split the drums from my leads and bass parts as i use alot of double bass kicks and rolling snares for blast beats to create deathsynthmetal should i l/r mono out to two half stacks and pan all the drums to one side or will that make the track sound less full how do i stop my synth from over powering the drums or vice versa how to stop the double bass kicks from interupting the synth work.2 on the electribe 2 is there more than 4 guitar samples to tweak and use.3 .would the elctribe 2 be better suited for my synth metal project or my edm project
this is super useful man not even only for the electribe also applies to mc 707 and novation circuit
Thanks for the tips. Did you use the "Scale Mode : On" on all the parts you played? (Bass/Lead etc.). And does the part played in Chord Mode does have to be Mono, Poly or it doesn't matter?
if it's not in one of the poly modes, it will only play single notes (similar to keyboard mode) and not chords. So yes, it must be in poly for chord mode to function as intended.
You only really need to worry about scale mode being turned on if you intend to *change* the key/scale your piece is in after you've inputted notes and you want everything to stay in scale. Usually you don't want this on percussive sounds, although I think it can sound kind of cool sometimes when you do xD
great video, thx 4 this ;)
Well explained.
cool tips there, sir !
how to change the base note for a Trigger C3 ?
Okay... so I’m probably going to annoy someone with my question here but I need help. I understand most of the electribe and mainly just use it for drums and sequencing, the problem I have is when I try to record a synth part it kinda cuts off and messes up the whole part I was trying to record. I don’t know if I made since there but if anyone has any thoughts on this I’d appreciate it. It’s probably a simple user error problem 😵
really useful vid
Thank you!!!
Usermode great video thanks for the tips. How does one get say the tr8 kick drum to be in the same key as my track since it seems to be stuck on a C note
I think you can use keyboard mode and tap the pads, or go into Step Edit and raise the note there
Very helpful
do you know what the scale mode on/off does ?
Yeah! When Scale Mode is on your notes will be transposed if you change the pattern's key and scale. Say you create a pattern in C Ionian and record a bunch of parts and then go into the menu and change it to G Aolian. If scale mode is on every th ING you recorded will be transposed into the new key. If scale mode is off it will be left as is but any new parts you record will be in the new key.
Brilliant.
a more advanced video might be making your own chords (on the sampler). If you want complex chords like sus or 9ths ....
Tome su like buen hombre 👍
How do i key span my own piano sound and play it ?
Thank you
thanks !
Is the elctribe 2 analog or is it a controller? Can I use this unit as a drum machine ?
Taylor H its considered a synth if u get thee regular one and not the sampler. It has all the typical drum sounds a drum machine would have plus many waveforms for synth options
noob question, Can I use this mode simultaneously with a pattern/loop the electribe is playing without it being recorded, much like a guitar jamming on a backing track? I'm new to samplers, planning to buy my first, torn between the sp404 and this. I really like this feature of the electribe
I just ordered one of these, I have never played any electribe before. But, to me it looks like you can choose which mode that the pads are set to... trigger, keyboard, or chord, and then ( as long as record is off ) you would be able to improvise on the pads over the pattern as it is playing...
I just saw on another video. In chain mode, you can set the next pattern to play after so many repeats. So, you could copy patterns to make a chain of variations, end up with a complex mix of parts looped .
I would guess you can save the parts in a way so you can continue to play pad 1 through to the next pattern and have the same sound over all the patterns in a chain Hopefully.
how to pick ?!?!? what botton does pick?since its for those who dont know ,not ppl who knows...
i choose scale buy it doesnt apply to pads!
all tutorials the machines have oscillator button, I have the Sampler button not the same machine tutorials not informative
can someone msg to help
can't set up to do anything
What issue are you having, what you typed is rather confusing. The sampler and the music production station are almost exactly the same, aside from the sampler being able to sample things and having less built in oscillators.
My Electribe doesn't seem to want to record chords (it does record everything else normally). Any ideas why?
Neon Beat prolly figured it out but make sure your part is set to poly. Also make sure you haven't reached the max number of voices in your track already- it's easy to do after building up a full loop. Anything that doesn't need to be polyphonic, set to mono. Only the first 3 pads are poly by default. If you have a loop built up and are running out of voices, but aren't sure what you can sacrifice to make your chords work, set the priority of your chords part to high, and listen to what is now being cut off when those chords trigger. It could be an occasional kick, or hat, or some noise, or something with a delay on it that was originally cutting off your chord part. If it's you don't even notice it, you're probably okay. If it was something integral to the loop, go and do the same high priority setting for that part.
