that seem more easy than i expected, and nice advice for the "locking option" to avoid changing pattern great video. beetween electribe 2 and elektron modelcycle, electribe 2 is winning gonna probably go for the electribe 2
this is the best workflow video i've seen for the electribe, hands down. ive had mine pretty much since release and this set of vids has taught me how to be more efficient with my process. Subscribed ! 👍
wow, thanks for the awesome feedback & sub. Good luck with your productions, I have more Electribe vids planned but need to focus on some other synths in the near future. cheers.
You can learn something right away without even listening. The power of better labels for the controls (especially if using live). While the minimalist dark tone on tone design might be aesthetically pleasing, it's not practical. I labeled similarly, including using color coding. I also made a template with Word, printed on card stock, to lay over the unit indicating info on the parts. Great intro tutorial!
Very clear and concise explanation and love the Taped-On Labels as I am severely Vision Impaired! I'll be busting out the masking tape first thing in the morning with a sharpie to tag my buttons in large print! Peace and best wishes!
thanks for the comment. I think even with great eyesight (which I don't have) you can't read the text on the buttons. So tape is good to begin with, hopefully with time and practise we will memorize what the buttons do. Good luck with your Electribe music!
Good intro to the beast - only thing I would add is that once you set the MFX to Wet reverb you kept the display screen there on the top menu (showing the MFX) - thats because you knew exactly what you were doing. For newbies it may have been best to exit that so they can see what you were doing when changing OSCs. I will be waiting for the next one and what you do to make a tune.
that's a really good point, you know I never even noticed that! Although when tweaking the sounds I'm not even looking at the screen, just my ears and the knobs, so it doesn't matter what's on the screen. it's boring to see wet reverb all the time though, I agree. :)
Nice layman friendly demo of the Electribe Woody, thanks. I don't own this particular device but it looks great. I 'try' to create music on Maschine Studio, but that one (I find) has a steep learning curve, would be nice to hear if you've experienced using one?.
This was a very useful video. I know I'm four years late, but great job. Quick question.... In this video you created all these custom sounds. Did you just hit the "write" button at the end of the video to save those sound patches? Newbie question I know. Thanks in advance.
you cannot add own sounds on the electribe, on the electribe sampler this is possible. but you can synthesize and modify the existing waveforms quite radically.
Nice video, Woody, but I think I'll stick with my Tyros 4. I'm not really into this type of thing. I just like to play music...LOL!!! Roger Brenizer (PSR Administrator)
Good tutorial, but I had to keep pausing and going back over and over so that a 12 min tutorial took up more than 1/2 hour. You went WAYYYYYYYY too fast not only in speaking but in dialing / pressing buttons / kets, etc. People need to be aware that when you're making a tutorial, some of us are following in real time trying to replicate what you're doing. By the time, I look back up from my Electribe you've quickly moved on to something else. In addition, it's frustrating to from the start when you state you have pattern lock enabled without explain how you did it forcing me to pause and get the manual out again or look online elsewhere. Again, thanks for this tutorial, but try to slow down and explain things more thoroughly. Thanks.
hi phart, ok, take your point! if i'd have lowered the pace i'm guessing people would complain it was too slow, or just bale on the vid! thx for the feedback :)
Yes, you paused and went back in the tutorial, so what's the problem? I'd much rather have that option over having to scroll through an overly drawn out video that goes on for way too long. Listen to how to do the thing, hit spacebar to pause, arrow keys go back and forth 5 seconds. Good tutorial Woody!
that seem more easy than i expected, and nice advice for the "locking option" to avoid changing pattern
great video.
beetween electribe 2 and elektron modelcycle, electribe 2 is winning
gonna probably go for the electribe 2
OMG! Pattern lock! Thank you Woody

Great! better than any realtime class. Up to video 2, thanks!
thank you for the color knob idea. i used colored sticky labels and a whole punch.
You can learn something right away without even listening. The power of better labels for the controls (especially if using live).

i fully agree, I have a video coming soon with some more mods. thx for the comment. :)

Probablly the best demo I've seen ever. I'm just starting out and a friend was selling this for cheap, but idk how to use it if i did buy it. THANKS!
Great video, excellent tutorial! Going to watch the whole series.

After the Sample i just bought me the blue one.. Always good to watch your videos!! :)
Hugs from Italy !
Thx for your clear guide
how do you get to the global settings so as to lock the pattern numbers? I always nudge the knob by accident!! Great video!
Thanks I got some great tricks from this.
i have a sampler version - still learnt heaps so thank you!
very concise but interesting! thanks
Great job Woody. Up voted this vid, and subscribed
awesome to hear that :)
I like it! Great explanation, thanks!

first comment = extra thanks. No, never tried the maschine, not a huge fan of the NI stuff but haven't really given them much of a chance.
I love that bass drum - phat and phunky !
One of the VPM synths should get you an FM bass with a bit of EG mod.
Sweet I learned some things! Nice Vid
OMG! Color coding the knobs and enhancing the tiny tiny letters in the electribe! this looks RACKED UP! :)))
i'm on old guy, is racked up a good thing? :) check out my other vid where I mod the Electribe, if you haven't already seen it.
yes is a good thing! I have both electribes here's a tune 100% electribe soundcloud.com/kyleran1/amarillo
urbano83 great track, the sound of the electribe is very distinctive!
great video!! can you do one on ambient or down tempo groove?
haven't figured out how to do that genre, can someone do a tutorial for me?
Is this better than the Arturia Beatstep Pro and as good as the far more expensive Octatrack and Digitakt Elektron gear?
This was a very useful video. I know I'm four years late, but great job. Quick question.... In this video you created all these custom sounds. Did you just hit the "write" button at the end of the video to save those sound patches? Newbie question I know. Thanks in advance.
so long ago i don't recall, but yes, you'd normally save your patches!
@@WoodyPianoShack Thanks!!! I guess it is good practice to hit the "write" key often to save progress on custom made sounds. Enjoy your videos!!!
I would like to see you doing more of this stuff, if possible with the Digitakt too. Very nice videos and very instructive too.
Ok nice hear thank for info but I'm digging yo style of music
Ok woody I got to get one I pick up the akai xr20 I want to convert together
Hi, I have a problem.
the pads 1 and 3 of my 4x4 rhythm are not heard and they are marked.
How can I solve them?
Pattern lock makes my display freeze on the warning that pattern lock is on. Any ideas?
Have you heard of the song Morir tres veces by Moenia? you just played that song right now haha
well i just listened on youtube, didn'thear any resemblance... :)
thanks!
Is there on Electribe 2 to transpose all synth parts when go in Play the pattern like in the emx?
yes, but not by default. you have to edit each part and set some parameter. a real pain, so i never use transpose.
you can transpose parts with "scale mode" activated, then you can change the key note
Can you use this to sequence something else? and can you replace all the sound libraries?
The hardware is great but the onboard sounds are terrible
Sputnik One - there is a sampler version.
Excuse me good morning are using daw for this set up
no pc, no daw, just the tribe
sweet! one question can you add your own sounds or are you stuck with the ones that come with it
you cannot add own sounds on the electribe, on the electribe sampler this is possible. but you can synthesize and modify the existing waveforms quite radically.
don't buy it it's very limited and also doesn't have an song mode i wasted 424 on it if you can find it for like 170 dollars it's worth about that.
Hi bro, can u tell me how to set "pattern lock"?
poke around int the global settings menu, you will find...
( sorry for english ) I try it but can't found it. It's called "Pattern Lock" ?
think so yes, but remember, you need the latest firmware version. this is a new feature. download the latest firmware from korg and install.
Ok i'll try it thanks a lot
It Works with last uptade ! i follow u for more tips :)
Dooooooope
Nice video, Woody, but I think I'll stick with my Tyros 4. I'm not really into this type of thing. I just like to play music...LOL!!!
