Small tip - start with length set to 1, then only after you've set up the basic drum pattern, extend the length to 4 bars. That way it automatically copies the first bar to the next 3.
tus tutoriales son muy buenos , muy graficos y faciles de entender. soy un principiante con la electribe y tus videos me ayudan mucho. muchas gracias por tu generosidad !
did you know that the first time you set the pattern length higher, all the content of previous parts (bars) is copied over.. you can use it to your advantage to copy over some repetitive sounds (like drums for example and then just make adjustments)
thanks, sure thing. might dig into each section (mod, osc etc) and cover that in some videos. but it won't be for a while as I have some new gear to feature first :)
i understand :) i made an adaptation of your tuto with my electribe, i changed some little things. hope you'll like it ;) sorry for my english not my first langage ;) soundcloud.com/seb-seb-538663435/sets/back-intime
wow, i thought that was excellent, especially with the different sounds and patterns in the middle section, first time anybody has done a cover of my stuff. I'm flattered. I really enjoyed your other tracks, NowHer, misterfinger, well done seb.
When you start playing the bassline it sounds very different in note changes to my setup - and I followed your first video to the letter.. I changed the scale from Phrygian to Ionian and it made it sound the same as yours.. BUT, you didn't show yourself changing the scale in the video.. which was confusing. No I'm on the part when you play the pads.. and mine now sound nothing like yours in terms of note changes.. I am really stuck as I did everything EXACTLY as the vides show.. yet my note changes sound horrible compared to your in the video.. please help!! :(
i was confused myself in the video which scale mode to use, you might have noticed some hesitation, i guess I must have changed mode somewhere and it didn't make it into the video. Never intended for someone to follow step by step, but that's cool. well done for figuring it out . these scale modes are tricky and it's holding me back. i will use an external midi keyboard in the future I think.
Good stuff my Man ✊💪👊 I'd love an in-depth Tutorial for the Electribe 2. I have the sample. But haven't touched a Synth since the MC-303 Groovebox 20 odd years ago. Having a midlife crisis. Telling my 2 boy's I'm buying gear because I want to see if they like it and get into it. It's all still in the boxes. Mainly because there's work going on in my mother's house. Which is where they are. I open the box, and I'm baffled. Gonna have a go on the Jdxi or the volcas with the best Pro and keystep 37. But then I'm baffled by software. Need help bro 🙏
@@WoodyPianoShack good man woody. Thanks for the reply. I'll get there in the end. I enjoy your videos. Your style. So thought it was worth an ask. Good stuff Bro. Love from the UK 🙏
what a great video, your explaination are great. after 2 video, i finally know, why your voice remember me of a video i see last year lol you did a great video for "ableton live lite", so i checked your video about ableton on your channel and bingo!!! i was going crazy to hear that voice but could not remember from where lol you should put syntwave on the title of those video, that would help people to find it more easy (sorry bad english) watching you use this electribe2 dont seem very hard, i see video that say it's hard/complicated etc but i think after 2/3 months that should be okay lol great video anyway, thx
like all instruments, takes some weeks or months of practise, it's complicated like most electronic gear these days. funny with the voice, you have a remarkable memory. I did not know my voice was so distinctive. thanks for the comment!
Hey Woody, love your content, thanks! I have a question...when recording a sequence how can you make it so that the bass drum doesn't come through every time you want to record something. I want to make an ambient track so don't want a bass drum in it obviously. Any chance you could help?
Excellent tutorial! Question, how do you build a drone synth part without a tail or blip attached to the beginning of the loop (just constant tone)? Thanks!
You can make a seamless loop. Just make sure to end with a step with velocity set to tie and begin with a step velocity step to tie - and voila, seamless drone.
oorcinus Thank you! I've also recently learned a new trick. Hold the synth note/pad button down, while simultaneously turning off record (track still playing, record now off, synth note/pad still pressed) and then let go of the synth > stop track > press play > voila! Drone loop is perfect!
Hey Woody, nice demo as always :) I'm interested in the tripod that you are using for the view from the top... Could you tell me which model it is? Thanks! ;)
Hi Woody love the tutorials. Just got an Electribe yesterday. Can you elaborate on the pads what sounds can be put on what pads does it matter I know they are broken up into 4 parts is each part only for a particular sound or can you programme in anything.
assign any sound to whatever pad you like! but it seems to be conventional to have your drum sounds on the bottom,that's what Korg do with their presets. find what works for you! Yeah, you can only play 4 notes at a time per part, and their is a limitation per pattern also, you can run out pretty quick. cheers.
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 ?
One of the things I hate about my Electribe is the bad, difficult way to create an Arpeggio. I saw you did manually. Is it another way to do it faster and with different notes,?not with touchpad.
quick question .. when doing the filter sweep on the bass, the motion rolls from the end of the pattern back on to the beginning ... Ive had several patterns Ive worked on where I want the motion to automatically revert to its starting position at the end of the pattern... hopefully that makes sense... any idea you have on achieving this would be awesome .. the only thing i have been able to do is quickly turn the knob at the end of the pattern, and that always comes out a little sloppy ... Thanks a bunch either way , much appreciated, peace
Guys you must help me please!! I make a patern of 4 bar, whn i export the wave on my SD CARD it export only the audio related to the first bar but not the others 3. DO you know why? Please help me Thanks
Hey .. I have bought a 'Grey' Electribe 2, and I note that the top row of the pads are lower than the lower row of pads ( which yours look the same).. I have also bought a Electribe Sampler 2... and the pads all appear to be at the same higher level ... any comments in relation to sensitivity? Should I sell my 'Grey' Electribe 2 and buy a 'Blue' version???
you're right, never noticed that. but it's because the pads are horizontally positioned, which is good, yod don't want slanting pads. but the top case of the tribe is sloping, which exposes more of the lower row of pads. sensitivity is the same for both rows. keep the grey!
Question:Do you have to have the metronome play when you record? I'd be running this directly into a Kaosspad into my multitrack recorder and using the recorder's metronome.
you can switch off metronome, but the electribe will quantize any notes you play to the grid of it's internal sequencer. so you need to listen to the click from the E2, or connect your devices together with midi and synchronise.
Why are you making a tutorial without making it easy for beginners? x) Instead of recording it would be appreciated by us who can't "play" on the synth that you showed us the patterns for the sequencer. Other than that, thank you

You forgot to leave the link in the description (for the inspiration behind the pattern).
Just bought one yesterday, your videos have been incredibly helpful, thanks man!
If my ears don’t deceive me, that machine sounds nice. Especially the fidelity of the drums.
Thanks for your video my friend. It answered a question I had for months and couldn't find the answer to. Cheers!
did you know that the first time you set the pattern length higher, all the content of previous parts (bars) is copied over.. you can use it to your advantage to copy over some repetitive sounds (like drums for example and then just make adjustments)
nope, didn't know. nice tip, thx!
Thank you for teaching me to use my electribe.
Really enjoyed your tutorial thinking of buying one of these.....
Great tutorial, cheers from France !
Thanks for sharing, massively helpful 👍🏾
So inspiring. Thank you so much woody.
So helpfull
I just bought my one yesterday and just a big thank you
cool! i let it go but i really miss mine actually. might buy another one!
Nice tut and nice song ! thx a lot. don't hesitate to make more tuts on the electribe (i've the sampler version but it's nearly the same thing ;)
thanks, sure thing. might dig into each section (mod, osc etc) and cover that in some videos. but it won't be for a while as I have some new gear to feature first :)

you did a great video for "ableton live lite", so i checked your video about ableton on your channel and bingo!!!

Are you certain you didn't change the scale at some stage? Those intervals are Lydian scale on my E2.
Excellent tutorial! Question, how do you build a drone synth part without a tail or blip attached to the beginning of the loop (just constant tone)? Thanks!
it's a problem i've ran into also, the note does glitch as it goes around the loop, i just tend to drown it out in reverb :)
You can make a seamless loop. Just make sure to end with a step with velocity set to tie and begin with a step velocity step to tie - and voila, seamless drone.
Ugh. I meant gate, not velocity. In my defense, it's 4:20 in the morning.

Hey Woody, nice demo as always :) I'm interested in the tripod that you are using for the view from the top... Could you tell me which model it is? Thanks! ;)
thanks Carlo. it's a Manfrotto, an old model, 10 years I guess. Many of their current models have the horizontal arm..
Hi Woody can you tell me which knobs you have on your gear please.
Great 😃
Hi Woody love the tutorials. Just got an Electribe yesterday. Can you elaborate on the pads what sounds can be put on what pads does it matter I know they are broken up into 4 parts is each part only for a particular sound or can you programme in anything.

Yeah, you can only play 4 notes at a time per part, and their is a limitation per pattern also, you can run out pretty quick. cheers.
It helps to switch to mono1 or mono2, and disable filter and ifx for all parts where you can.
switching to Mono is a great idea, I will try that where suitable. IFX I was aware of, but does filter matter? How do you disable the filter?
Cycle through the filters until you get to none with the light off.
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 ?
i agree about the manual being unhelpful, just experiment and figure it out.
+Woody Piano Shack how do you delete a whole pattern
Man, you were so close
clear out a whole pattern, save it, now when you want a clear pattern load it into any slot you want. done
One of the things I hate about my Electribe is the bad, difficult way to create an Arpeggio. I saw you did manually. Is it another way to do it faster and with different notes,?not with touchpad.

don't recall how i did this, I do know what you mean though, think my approach was trial and error until the transition is ok,
Guys you must help me please!!
I make a patern of 4 bar, whn i export the wave on my SD CARD it export only the audio related to the first bar but not the others 3.
DO you know why?
Please help me Thanks
Hi Big Woody. Did you recording directly with only Zoom H4N, without audio interface? Thanks and great Video
yeah alex, i think at this time i was using the Zoom and then transferring the file to the pc.
How to put the quantize function?
Hey .. I have bought a 'Grey' Electribe 2, and I note that the top row of the pads are lower than the lower row of pads ( which yours look the same)..

Hi, how many parts can you record per pattern? Thanks
16 if i recall, although each drum sounds needs its own part.
I was wondering what DAW are you using?
how do you clear an entire sequence that was already created in the presets? I like the sounds but dislike a lot of the sequences.
Don't remember except it was a painful process, you had to clear one pad at a time, that sucked.
No understand.....how i know were is the kick,claps,hi hats etc....
Why are you making a tutorial without making it easy for beginners? x) Instead of recording it would be appreciated by us who can't "play" on the synth that you showed us the patterns for the sequencer. Other than that, thank you
very bad no change name of init pattern ???
i can never be arsed to name my presets!
YES, A# Phyrigian is always my first choice, errr, NOT!!!!
