Hacktribe Tutorial - How to install Hacktribe on Electribe Sampler 2 and go back to Korg firmware

[@thinkbothways]

thanks bro after a lot of trial and errors, your video was really useful and finally got everything

[@davidb_bitsbobs]

Thanks Paolo! My Electribe 2 Sampler (2015 black version) hasn't even arrived yet (tomorrow hopefully) but I'm already thinking the Hacktribe is the way to go. You've made the install/uninstall look so easy, which is fantastic. I'll have to join the community and keep track of future updates. Exciting times! All the best, David

[@paolopiergentili3839]

Thanks for your message David. Indeed on the red the process is very straight forward now. I went forth and back several times now. I only recommend to check in the original GitHub post on peculiarities for the older versions. I'm not sure if you have maybe to install the latest original firmware first 2.02. Please check there and keep me posted.

[@davidb_bitsbobs]

Thanks Paolo! I'll certainly check GitHub and what firmware version is on the machine when it arrives (still waiting for UPS!). I've not had an Electribe before so I probably should get familiar with it first before adding Hacktribe. Loving your guitar playing btw! Keep it up!

Excellent tutorial! I'm sure this will help lots of newcomers to get started with installing and using the Hacktribe firmware.

This is a very useful video. Thanks to the creator for this video and firmware file, as well as Bang Corrupt for hacktribe, and Jonathan, the creator of sample file manager. I would ask people who use the softwares to donate to the creators, please. In the video, it is commented about not sure what happens when original sample files are re-numbered to appear after the hacktribe oscillators. In other words, what happens if we re-number from 275 (first OSC slot after hacktribe OSCs) instead of 501. My experience (using original black E2S) is that the first 10 kick files "disappear". We go from hacktribe 274 OSCs to number 285 with "Jazz" kick. It's like slots from 275 to 284 are "hidden" along with the original OSCs. So, if you can live without the first 10 files, it flows from 285 starting as "Jazz". I even tried to re-number from 285. Then, we go from hacktribe OSCs in first 274 slots, skipping (invisible) until 295 which starts with Jazz kick again. Also, if you made it this far into the interwebs and reading this comment, if anyone knows how to import patterns from electribe (synth: gray, blue), which are *.e2pat files, into electribe sampler (black, red), please let me know. With hacktribe, my E2S has the synth waves and filters available on my E2 so I'd like to bring my patterns and songs over, even if it means I have to edit the patterns some. But I don't think they are compatible. I tried simply renaming *.e2pat files to *.e2spat files, which is convention for sampler. When importing, I get file error. Thank you.

[@paolopiergentili3839]

I do agree with you! I personally donated to the hacktribe team and sponsoring for the same at the end of the video. They deserve it!

Great tutorial. Grazie Paolo!

[@user-co4xl7wx3q]

I got through the first part and then trying to export samples in the second step. My tribe gives me an error, saying that the SD card is right protected and that’s not true.

[@javinofx]

Hello! I make a query. Does the hacktribe include new oscillators or new oscillator-type samples? I see in minute 4.33 how instead of modeling an oscillator, it simply changes the start point, as if it were a Sample and not a synthesizer. It's right?

[@paolopiergentili3839]

i would say it new oscillators, not samples only. it varies the detune phases / the detune in a FM osc couple...

[@Ivan-gg3pi]

Hi, Thanks much for creating this video and sharing the files. It has been very useful! Quick question, how can we re-map all factory patterns saved on the Electribe at once to match the new sample's order starting at the 501 slot. Is there any way to achieve this without doing manually for each pattern? The factory patterns are great to learn rhythms and beats. Thanks a lot again!

[@paolopiergentili3839]

Someone was thinking to create a tool for that, but I am not aware of any so far, I am afraid

[@paolopiergentili3839]

Happy of hearing this. I still went back and forth with my red sampler without troubles and it is becoming easier and easier. Once you understand the way to build your own SD card with the two firmware versions, you can implement the process without changing it

[@Sentientfx1]

Thanks for posting. I'll give this a go but it sounds like I'll have to re-define oscillator numbers for song patterns that I've already made i.e. adding 500 to them all. No biggie considering the cool new filters, oscillators and grooves..

[@Sentientfx1]

I just did it. It took a few hours and as I suspected the sounds were jumbled up in the beats I'd already made but I exported them to Ableton beforehand so it was quite easy to find the sounds again.. Thanks again!

Yes, renumbering is important. It's explained in the video itself

[@lumbarsupport]

I'd just like to say a BIG thank you for providing the ready made relocated samples files. I just loaded e2sSample_501 and it works on my pink "Hacktribed" sampler. What is the effect of loading e2sSampleKORG ? Of course the factory patterns from 001-150 are still using the memory slots now populated by the new hacktribe synth voices instead of the relocated samples. Is there a fix to this explained anywhere? (Apologies if I missed it!)

[@paolopiergentili3839]

I tell you, I never tried. From Github forum they say you should avoid using the original one (which I labelled KORG) to prevent memory errors

[@lumbarsupport]

@paolopiergentili3839 ah OK understood. I did try before using the original sample file and I got either no response or "Error" but thankfully no damage done. Thanks for the reply

[@paulsharm7410]

The difference between e2 and e2s is also genre related. E2 is for EDM and e2s is more hip hop based. If there would be no hacktribe, I would definitely go with e2. But how does the hacktribe version sounds on e2s? Is it more EDM orientated?

[@paolopiergentili3839]

it didn't change my life, then i went back to the original firmware....no need of additional synths and filters, speaking for myself, clearly. i would have preferred some work on the sequencer section, instead....adding randomization...more bars..just like for the Volca Pajen's Hack...that would have been a no-brainer!

Thank you very much Paolo - finnally I‘ve made it too - works fine! I come from germany and before i mentioned your tutorial it was impossible to flash my red sampler. 😆 Just a des edits, maybe to help others: #MEMORY ISSUE With that sample Manager software you‘ve linked (Thank you very much for the software and the scripts!!) i was not able to get the original samples to #501 etc, because i found noch way to rename the numbers on my computer(Win8.1) and so i stupidly tried to copy my original .all just oder the patched one and - of course - caused that Memory issue the bangcorrupt team warned of… at half volume there was a terrible ‚beeeep‘ as background noise and it was absolutely impossible to accept that. BUT I WAS ABLE TO FIX IT!🎉 1.) Flash back to the original Firmware - Bit the issue was still there - and 2.) I set it back to factory reset and voila: silence where it should be 😅👌😌! Then, 3.) i took a little courage and installed the hacktribe firmware ONCE AGAIN, because in your Video you showed us that ‚switching‘ is possible and i wanted to thank you very much for that content Paolo!!✌️🍀 Now everything works well and i found that in one of the downloaded hacktribe folders, named ‚content‘ was another .all data from a guy called thomas herrmann (He‘s done the other little Tutorial video for hacktribe here on youtube ) and there i found some nice samples though the original ones were ‚gone‘ and together with the sample manager software i‘m extremely happy to have got a fresh clean hacktribe, which i will fill up now with nice new sounds of my own. 😊❤ Greetings from germany, and i Think of you with the next ‚drop‘ 😋 Bye

[@paolopiergentili3839]

thanks so much for your appreciation! I decided to make this video because me-myself had troubles in doing the process at first, the most difficult part being hacking the firmware. Once done, i realized i could simply make the file available so to allow the people to skip that part.

Hi. Is there any way to return Electribe 2 synth, blue version, to original state, with original samples and patterns (demo songs). I do not like hacktribe. Thanks

[@paolopiergentili3839]

Hi, FIRST THING: i could test only the processes for the RED one, i do not have experience of the Blue. Having said that, i would say the process is the same i am presenting in the last section of the video for the E2S. Then, place the original firmware in the "hacktribe --> system" folder. When updating the firmware, the system will check there for the firmware to be used.

[@rgrant]

I found the trick was you have to reformat the SD card and then it will create a 'hacktribe' folder instead of the 'electribe sampler' folder. If you then put the original system back in the System folder you will be able to Update then.

[@koalemos1679]

Thanks for the video. Quick question, does the hack erase any patterns that are saved on the Electribe?

[@paolopiergentili3839]

Hi, u r welcome, happy to hear it is clear enough. Nope, it does not erase the patterns. Though, please consider that the sound banks will be moved, then you will have the "wrong" sounds in the expected sounds memory positions. For example, the kicks use to start from position 19; after the hack, in position 19 you will find a different synth oscillator. Then, although the patterns themselves are there, you will have to manually change the soundset and save them again

Now, Q's: If one has a factory reset machine (so no user samples in ES2) does one need to do the 'sample move' step? Are these user samples or the Factory waves? IIRC user samples were loaded into slot 501 by default. So now, this 501 will have the Korg Factory waveforms? and the Hacktribe waves are from 01-275 - is this correct? If so where will user samples load by default? Lastly, is there a hacktribe-manual? CH33RS

[@paolopiergentili3839]

Hacktribe will delete anything that is stored between 19 and 274. Factory reset machines have kicks starting from 19, snares right after and so on, as far as I know. Then those would be lost, not only users samples. With regards to a "manual", the best you can find is right on the Github forum (link provided in the description) I'm afraid.

Actually I think I resolved this. After you format the SD card and put that SD card into the computer, make a copy of the e2sSample.all file and put it somewhere not on the SD card. Edit that copy to have the samples start at 501 as shown in the video. Then proceed with the steps as outlined, but once you get to the step in the video where he edits the e2sSample.all file, just replace the file in hacktribe/Sample with the copy that you've already edited. Plug that SD card into the electribe, restart it and it loads all the samples plus the new oscillators. :)

That's strange... It's a standard feature of the ES, just deep dive in the menu

[@thinkbothways]

so it happened to me twice and i was almost about to give up so the thing is you will have to use 32gb or lower, 32 worked for me and it should be sdhc not any other. hope it helped you

Much thx for tutorial and for download files Already in hacktribe and i also try return to factory firmware all goes well only have complication editor dont want show factory samples... So i musted return to original make all sample File already with factory samples theese are show in editor so i moved them to 501 and returned on Card :)) update me realy like well done to hacktribe Team You and InvisblleThea!!!

Ciao PAolo, ho eseguito tutta la procedura (a proposito, grazie anche per la condivisione dei file su Drive!) solo che c'è un problema: tutti i pattern originali contenuti nella Electribe2 (io ho la Sampler) non hanno tenuto conto dello spostamento dei samples... essendo ora tutti i suoni originali da 501 in poi, tutti i pattern si rifanno ora ai nuovi suoni importati, e quindi non hanno però più assolutamente senso... mi sono perso qualcosa? c'è qualche passaggio aggiuntivo da fare per adeguare i pattern originali provvisti e fare un +500 di riferimento ai suoni?... non so se mi sono spiegato... grazie!

[@manucontrovento]

Bisognerebbe trovare il modo di invertire le posizioni dei 2 banchi di suoni e riportare da 1 a 500 i suoni originali, credo? Ciao verrebbero ritrovati dai pattern...?

[@manucontrovento]

niente, alla fine ho deciso di tornare al firmware originale. I suoni aggiuntivi non erano troppo nelle mie corde e in generale mi trovo meglio con la versione originale

[@paolopiergentili3839]

Eh, no ...purtroppo sui pattern allo stato attuale non si può far nulla. Chi aveva sviluppato l’hack stava valutando una patch in questo senso, ma non ho idea se l’abbiano effettivamente realizzata

ciao, in realtà io non ho partecipato alla realizzazione del progetto, ho "solo" messo a disposizione qui i file già compilati e la procedura per esteso. purtroppo, lato sequencer, non hanno fatto molto, che invece sarebbe stata la cosa utile per questa macchina. io ho provato a spingere soprattutto per le 8 battute (invece di sole 4) e la randomizzazione come sul pajen's hack del volca sample

When exporting chain audio from hacktribe, I found it does not save the mfx effect, this is a real problem. All sounds turn out raw and you have to add these effects to Ableton again. Does anyone know how to remove it?

[@paolopiergentili3839]

I'm sorry, I have to say I'm not that expert on the detailed behaviour of the hacktribe (I decided to go back and stay with the original one). Just check the Github page for details

[@lundsweden]

Chain audio does the same thing on my unlocked Electribe- stupid but true. The export strips all the panning and volume info too.

[@ronnieriveros4206]

It worked for someone in the blue electribe?

[@paolopiergentili3839]

something similar can be done with the Blue, but i do not have the right hacked file system. Then i DO NOT recommend to try it using my files which are FOR THE RED ONLY. Apart from that, the process is very similar.

[@paolopiergentili3839]

Ciao! Da quel che sto capendo, se hai la synth, ti aggiunge le funzionalità della Sample (oltre ad altre features) e quindi è sostanziale. Per me che ho la rossa, è caruccia ma non cambia la sostanza della macchina perché non hanno messo mano alla parte sequencer. Stiamo in tanti chiedendo 8bars+probability+randomisation, tipo quanto fatto sul Volca, ma ancora nulla. D'altra parte son volontari (per questo invito alla donazione... Spero che pochi sghei a testa li convincano a fare qualche passo in più in quella direzione 😆)

Ho visto che la sai usare bene in altri video ,io c'e lo da poco ma faccio fatica a trovare samples giusti ,trovo tuto un po limitato nei suoni ,veramente poco spazio ,tu come lavori ? cancelli tutto di fabrica e ci carichi soltanto quello che ti serve ? La cosa buona sarebbe poter aver un anteprima del suono con electribe prima di caricarlo cosi da tenere le librerie sulla sheda sd e caricare soltanto quelo che serve per un progetto.

[@paolopiergentili3839]

@@yannovast1287 grazie! 😊 be', se la trovi limitata nei suoni, l'hack ti offre maggiori opportunità di sintesi. Io personalmente mi trovo bene con la parte sonora, non mi sta particolarmente stretta. Gli 8 pad in basso per la parte ritmica, quelli in alto per un mix tra synth e samples. in principio pensavo avrei usato soprattutto campioni nuovi, ma uso moltissimo quelli di fabbrica, divertendomi con la parte synth. Per quanto molti dicono sia limitata, secondo me si può fare molto, giocando opportunamente con filtri, IFX e modulazioni....o almeno questo è quello che faccio io! Persino mi divertii a comandarla con il vecchio D20 della mia infanzia, usandola esclusivamente come expander synth e si difendeva. La cosa più tosta è gestirne la polifonia limitata.

Hi, I'm stuck with the Hacktribe version ! Impossible to go back... can someone help me please?

[@paolopiergentili3839]

First: are you hacking a sampler ? (Cannot guarantee on three synth) If so, If you want to go back, you have to create a folder named "Hacktribe" including SYSTEM and SAMPLES subfolders. In that SYSTEM folder you should copy the original firmware. That part is explained in the last section of my video

[@aylinscheer1208]

@@paolopiergentili3839 Thank you for your response. I did it on my Electribe Sampler ( same as the one in the video ) I just couldn't downland the samples as you did in the video, once Hacktribe was on my device. So I tried the Hacktribe folder and putting back the initial system...but then my synth never finds the new updates. And now I'm just stuck. Maybe I'm missing something, but I tried several times.

[@paolopiergentili3839]

just wanted to know how this evolved and if you could solve the situation. What i can say is that (at least for the sampler), you may want to create a new SD card with the two subfolders "electribe sampler" / "hacktribe" and upload there - in each SYSTEM folder - either the original firmware and the hacked firmware to see which works. maximum i 4 attempts. I'm asking to others with the Blue Electribe feedback on how it went.
