Electribe S mkII

[H4NDCRAFTED]

Help! anybody know how to load samples on to this thing ???

I have them at 32.ooo khz 16 bit and very rarely the electribe s will reade them. I'm using Audiofile sample manger to convert them.

I have had better luck converting them in Sony vegas in windoze 7. It reads the card ok for data but not sample data, i have them listed as 2 digit numbers as well 01,02,03 etc.

I don't get why every now and then it will read the sample ?

I have the same prob with 3 diff SM cards so it can't be them.

[castaglow]

Factory samples ?)

[asleeds]

Bakeher. You can record in step mode (like he did the kick at the beginning) or live record (like he did the hats) at any time with any of the parts (sounds).

I have the EMX and ER mk ii and love them both.

[bakeher]

how you recorded your first 4 kicks. can you do that with other instruments as well?

[jonez110]

@bakeher yes ^^

[TheMMADrGreenthumb]

Hey man i got one of these and the sounds your using i know weren't preloaded to the machine. How did u manage to get them on the machine? PLEASE ANSWER!!!!

[BARRATTI]

does anyone knows if you are able to transfer samples or wav. files

into this machine ?

I owned one but I would like to add more kits or wave.files & samples to it !!!...

please slap me with informative knowledge !!! ( Or Post a Link )

thxs :P

[Psymiley]

@BARRATTI IIRC, you need to number your samples in double digits (00.wav, 01.wav). I forget the sample rate and bit rate - something like 22kHz and 16 bit I guess.

[plixness]

@BARRATTI Hey man. U need a smartmedia card to load external wave:s . You can also sample to the internal memory via the input.

[The7thINFANTRY]

So it's just a sampler?

[Psymiley]

@The7thINFANTRY There 'is' somewhat of a synth, but very basic compared with the EA model.

[trossy111]

can anyone tell me the amps of the power adapter, i lost mine.

[Psymiley]

@trossy111 It's 9v 600mA with center negative! Last bit is important and most generic power adapters are positive center - which would pop a Korg.

[trossy111]

@Psymiley I actually solved this a long time ago. Using a power adapter from a panasonic cordless phone believe it or not. Works a charm. Now using this as a drum controller for KONG in reason.

[Psymiley]

@trossy111 I guess 3 months is a while haha. Hopefully it's still a useful to someone in the same position.

[trossy111]

@Psymiley found one aye. Panasonic phone charger lol. works fine

[phiegnux]

these are fun but........ midi controll FTW!

[InsertName125]

Is it possible to use one of these to drive another outboard module like you can do with an ordinary synth? Sorry for the ignorance.

[batterycock]

@InsertName125. yeah its possible.

[minichuaman2]

NICE

so simple but SO attractive

oh i love it

[jci]

Man, just bought one about a week ago. The manual sucked, but this video really is really helpful in the usage. Just what I needed. :D

[jci]

There are some mailing groups on google and they have some valuable info there.

[SicSheist]

Fucking awesome man. I have one of those babies, you can do great things with that machine

[sweepee213]

swap it for an mpc,you can do so much more with the samples,especially the 16 levels makes you create new melodies

[cartesiaLive]

Nobody will swap an MPC for an ES-1... there is a huge price difference, so comparing the two is ridiculous.

And for the record, you can create melodies with the ES-1 ;)

[martin984]

@cartesiaLive I'm looking into the es1 and like it, but i've been trying to figure out - can you load a single sample of let's say C and have a scale made of it - c#,d,d#, e, f, etc.? Something like the multi-pitch function in the SP1200. Or do you have to resample each sample into the respective tones of the scale and write it so you can record some melodies in real time?

Thanks!

[cartesiaLive]

@martin984 I think I answered this Q in the other ES-1 youtube video.. but just in case you missed it - The pitch knob gives you + or - 2 octaves of semitones (so +1 position will make C into C#, etc).. You can automate the pitch knob to set pitch per step ('motion sequence' on 'trig hold' mode). If you don't want to use the motion sequence to do it you'll have to resample with the pitch knob at different positions.

[owlwink]

true that.

[WEAPoneTSK]

good work.i have this one too

[azzymac]

hey i need some help.

i have a microkorg, with the es1 can i record samples of from the microkorg and play it from the es1 live including drum loops?

sorry if im being an idiot but ive been trying to find out which ones are samplers and which are just drum machines with synths playing at the same time.

thanks

[plutotronics]

good work...:D!!!

[mattia1011]

greateeeeeee 10++++

[pmsan29]

I have the original ES-1. But this upgraded version you have with the metal chassis looks alot sturdier.

....Bangin' beat by the way!

[elsamky]

great skill!!!

[georgzwei]

good job. the electribe is a very cool groovebox^^ i am a proud owner too :D

[toffman555]

very nice...

[polarbear242]

Denki, you fckng rule man.

[yohppoy]

nice tutorial!!

respect!

how could you apply the slices in the pads when you're in pattern mode? i mean how do you play , for ex.:slice 2 in pad 4? is it possible to copy slice pads in the same pattern?

[cartesiaLive]

it's not that kind of slice... unfortunately.

[yohppoy]

ok.thanx.

now i chop and slice with the sp-505 or the mpc1000.

peace

[cartesiaLive]

sp-505 :D great underrated machine! are you on sp-forums?

[yohppoy]

cartesia, is that cartesia i know? spf rules!!

peace

ellaguru

[mattsynth]

Work that box. Great job

[sambland123]

can you plug a midi keyboard into the sampler and use the sounds you have samples to make beats?

[Silesiusss]

I want to buy one of these, but I want to use it as a sequencer for my analog synths as well. I wonder if it's possible to send chromatic midi notes with it, or if just send one note shots. I somebody knows that help would be appreciated.

[adlebadle1]

with the electribe s mkii you can only send one shot samples, if you wish to send both one shot and chromatic midi signals you would need one of the new generation electribes such as the emx or esx, the only one of the original tribes that send chromatic signals is the EA1 but this does not send one shot signals.

Hope you get that cause i confused myself a bit there. :) Hope that helps

[greenturmalin]

electribe m from the first generation ;)

[johnisfaster]

the rmkII can send chromatic midi notes but they are only useful for drums and percussion of course as they are gated very short. I would think the original er-1 would do it too but don't hold me to that.

[greenturmalin]

er mkI and II are the same, only the ring mod and the cross mod are different.

if you want to sequence other synthies you need an electribe em or ea - this is the older generation like the er, or one of the new ones.

the er and es arend made for melodic sequencing...

[ltron22]

how do you get those really fast drum rolls when the bpm only goes up to 300?

[QuadraPolyphonic]

It has drum roll button

[HoweGavin]

he's using short delay

[XkingbisonX]

i have this same sampler. have you ever had a problem with it keeping time? mine doesnt stay at a consistent bpm.

[Jakusthecount]

same here! why on earth is that

[xkizxgigix]

Whats the best electribe (mkII) ?

[toonstegen]

they all have different possibilities

[dctim]

This is great. I wish I was this good with my S mk2

[minislash123]

Can this electribe do synths?

[toonstegen]

nope, electribe a mk2 can.

[exactspace]

Very good demo! I just picked one up yesterday to do live PA

[Fishmongerabc123]

could this sample from an external synth,and can u save these samples??

ta

[DrakCorpInc]

you can sample anything. just plug something on the microphone input and... voilá!

[phuturephunk]

Dude, that was great. I've had one of these things for years, but it's been collecting dust. You've really tempted me to dust if off, load a whole bunch of samples and cut stuff up.

Now to find smart media cards...hmm...

[FutekiForever]

Excuse me Mr. Denkitribe, but i am very interested in buying a korg sampler in order to do entire improv sets with. I was wondering if you (or anyone reading) could tell me what features the EMX has over the ES, and whether it's worth shelling out the extra money for the kind of project i want to do.

Thanks a lot!

[TheBlackViper]

the EMX has built in oscillators, which basically means you can generate your synth and bass sounds on the unit. the ESX, on the other hand, is entirely sample based (hence the S) and has to have your own samples loaded onto it in order to create stuff. buy one of each and you have the perfect set.

[originalfreestyle]

very nice LOL

[buberooni]

wow nice tutorial type thing. denkitribe is king.

[deepinto134]

this is awsome video. thank god somebody did this from the start till the end.. and take time to show us. ive got a question: so you started it with A06 you made you loop and than what did you do when you wanted to go to a02, and in the background is still playing a06.. you pressed what?'

thank you.

[jamaicanbwoy11]

can you record samples into this machine??

[astrocat75]

this is the ES1mkII- yes its a sampler

I'm assuming his samples were generated using another electribe like the EMX (read the note)

[TheBlackViper]

These things look pretty nice, but I would figure that it'd be a pain in the ass loading up all the samples you want.

[dctim]

I have one of these and am slowly learning my way aound it... This is great. Denkitribe. Your vids are awesome!

[discotechwreck]

Great videos by the way.

Your KP3 ones in particular, they inspired me to buy one.

I'm now in the market for a drum and bass sequencer/sampler however I'm on a budget.

Wondering wether you would recommend the Electribe ER-1 (MKII) or the ES-1 (MKII) or anything else for that matter!

[A1Rat101]

I have just got one of these of ebay gona have some fun when it arives.Good constuction dude keep it up

[warehouse5am]

its like a koala bear crapped a rainbow in my brain

[TheBlackViper]

same here

[swarm69]

god i feel the idm vibe :)

[smeezh]

thanks for posting this.  thanks. really, thanks. i'm going to buy one now.

[theremins]

awesome! Thx for uploading!

[chinkogakusaizo]

It's not very often to get to see someone's work in progress.This guy's stuff sounds good already at this stage, I wonder how his finished products done for real are like.Must be truely awesome.Not just his music and the sound quality of them but the visuals like these,always very organised,fades in and out nicely.Brilliant.

[Mce6v]

this is a very nice demonstration for an older model of electribe. I still use this over the newer MK, because it is a lot easier to set up loops.

[jandyproductions]

this IS the new MK.

[supaXsupaX]

please reply,

so its a drum kit two?

please tell.

cuz im lookin into buyin one.

[jandyproductions]

its a sampler, you load in whatever sounds you want and sequence them into a pattern

[JAMESJW2006]

yes m8 and keyboard i have the esx the lastest 1 its sweet m8

[Eternal18]

Real-life fruity loops :P

[nuklearfc]

I was planning on getting the Electribe ES-1, but after seeing this, I decided that the mkII would be a better choice.

[AppA]

Ehm, I don't think there is a huge difference between those two models...

[control75]

VERY GOOD!

[vegeta897]

Same! :D

[CaptainFuchsia]

this vid has helped me...im getting on eof those for Christmas!!! =D

[FoxTechno]

Hey nice work showing how it all comes together. adds to a good techno track.

[Kofla2000]

I like this video... I use it like a tutorial :P

[gbackoff]

yeah..so sorry...the internal samplerate is 32khz, but if you record a sample with 32khz the possible 44khz output doesn't make it better...

[dickehose]

yeah...i've also one of these...too sad, it has only 32khz output

[TR0jAX]

But the EMX has 44.1 khz ;) The ESX also.

[Eleton]

I heard this electribe emx is good for making r&b d&b

could you show us an example of the sampler it has

thaks man

[TR0jAX]

this is not a electribe emx, its a electribe S MKII, and both machines are good for any kind of style.
