Common Korg Electribe Questions
How do I sync my Electribe to other MIDI devices like a drum machine or DAW?
Set the Electribe's MIDI Clock Source to 'External' in the Global Parameters and connect its MIDI IN port to the MIDI OUT of your master device. Also, configure your Electribe's MIDI channel to match the transmitting device.
I created a great pattern, how do I save it so I don't lose it when I turn off the Electribe?
Press 'Global,' then use the 'Value' knob to select 'Write Pattern.' Select an empty pattern location using the step buttons, and press 'Enter/Yes' to save.
What's the quickest way to create a basic beat on the Electribe?
Select a Part (e.g., Bass Drum), then use the 'Step' buttons to turn on steps for that part. Adjust the sound parameters (like Level, Tune, or Cutoff) for each step to create variations and a more dynamic rhythm.
My Electribe is making a strange noise, or the sounds are distorted even at low volume. What could be the problem?
Check the Master Volume level first, and then examine the gain staging on each part. Ensure that the individual part volume levels aren't clipping, as there's no individual part output meter, so overall levels can easily become overdriven.
What are Motion Sequences on the Electribe and how do I use them?
Motion Sequences record knob movements to add dynamic changes to your sounds over time. To record, press the 'Motion Sequence' button while the pattern is playing and adjust the desired knob; press the button again to stop recording.
