Korg Electribe 2 step by step tutorial to create a track 2021

Help support my channel on Patreon: / random_noise Hi everyone!
As promised, I’ve created this full tutorial for the Korg Electribe 2 as many were asking me how do I create those jams that I upload to my channel.
I’ve tried to showcase some of my most favorite tips that are not really well documented in the manual of the Electribe.
I wanted this tutorial to be practical and not just to show you random tips that are not connected, so here I used them all into creating a new pattern from scratch.
I hope you’ll enjoy this tutorial and that it can be useful for you!
If you like this video please consider checking out my channel and subscribing. I use this space to upload my jams and sound exploration of electronic music.
Thank you for watching! 🙌❤️

[@haolekoa737]

The E2 synth version gets overlooked, but it is a highly underrated synth in its own right. I use a Keystep to live play, sequence, and arpeggiate mine. When I get a sequence or arp that I like, I record it into the Electribe. You're absolutely right about the overdrive, it really beefs up the synth sounds. Combine that with the many filters available, as well as the analogue-style knobs, and it is capable of some great sonic chaos. Great video!

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

Thank you for watching! 🙏 Totally agree, it does get overlooked and capable of some really cool stuff. Combining with Keystep sounds a like a great and clever way to get even more out of it since its internal sequencer is not the best to program I would say

[@haolekoa737]

@@RandomNoiseMusic You're right about the sequencer, the step edit mode is awkward at best. I highly recommend getting a Keystep, it really pairs well with the E2. The ability to switch midi channels on the fly is great, as you can set up different "patches" on the various parts & jump between them at will. The only complaint is that the E2 doesn't recognize pitch bend, but otherwise the Keystep turns it into a full-on synth. Not bad for a little over $100...

Really helpful tutorial, only had my electribe for a week and this has really helped me out. Many thanks and I love your style of music you create. Very inspiring. I’ve got a TD3 but I’m liking the sound of the nubass. Not sure if I should get it and sell my TD3 🤔

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

Thank you so much for the kind words and happy to know these videos are useful and inspiring! 🙏🏻 I only had the Nubass, so I can't say I have actually compared them but I do think they sound quite similar so in terms of sound it may not be such a big difference (I think). But what made me choose the Nubass is the excellent sequencer it has, which I think is probably easier to program than the TD3 which is identical to the TB303

Best tutorial I've seen for this tricky device. Thank you so much! One question... How do you switch from decay to release? Also could you do a video one day on the keyboard and scale modes? So confusing to me. Toda.

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

Thank you so much! Glad you find it helpful :) Just below the decay/release knob there is a button that read: Amp EG which is short for Amplitude Envelope Generator, pressing on it switches between the two modes. And sure thing about the tutorial. this machine takes some time to learn, and I was frustrated with it in the beginning as well, so I am happy to help on that! 👍

[@shuwig]

I wonder if you have the Sampler version as well and have considered combining the two? The nice thing about the sampler is you can resample internal sounds or sample sounds/loops from the other Electribe to build more layers of composition.

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

Thanks for watching! No, I do not own the sampler version as well. I decided to pick the synth version eventually because of the extra oscillators and filters, but it is tempting to get the sampler and play the together haha should be fun

[@jorgerezg3686]

Excellent tutorial!!, a question i have an oldie synth and a boss loop station ,could i connect the electribe as a drum machine in my gear?. Cheers!

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

Thank you! Glad it was useful! 😊 If they both support MIDI then yes I don't see a reason why not. The Electribe can be great as a drum machine, just keep in mind that there is no proper song mode, but you can chain patterns

[@maxDazzler]

Really good tutorial mate. I have the sampler but most of this still applies and is really helpful. Cheers! Edit: Does switching to poly1 help with the envelope cutting off problem when making pads? I think I saw something about that in one of Loopop’s vids but probably didn’t understand it properly.

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

Thank you for watching! the difference between Poly 1 and Poly 2 is that in Poly 1 mode every time you press a key it will reset the envelopes. So for example you set the envelope to control the filter in sort of way, if you hold one key and press another, that envelop will be triggered again. When you switch to Poly 2, when you press one key and then additional one, the envelope will continue without being triggered again. So this is useful in a way, but unfortunately it does not solve the issue of the synth being paraphonic, and notes will continue to cut each other... Hope I've managed to explain it right and this is useful.. 😅 thanks again for watching!

[@maxDazzler]

@@RandomNoiseMusic Ah right! That does make sense yes, cheers!

[@LuisTorres-qz5kr]

Thank you very much for this tutorial, much appreciated! I have been thinking about getting the KE2 and ran into your channel (signed up right away!) while researching. I noticed you have labels on the pads. How do you use these, and, how do you decide which part is assigned to each pad (meaning, do you have a preferred setup/location for the kick, Arp, etc...)? Thanks!

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

Thanks for watching and glad you find it useful! For your questions, I use the labels to help me remember the shortcuts to some of the menu items you can access by holding shift and one of the pads. You can see all those here, they are very useful and make the workflow much more easy and fast: rotten77.cz/korg-electribe/korg-electribe-shortcuts-color.png As for the decision on how to assign parts to pads, I got used to the default settings of the E2 in which usually the bottom raw is dedicated to drums sounds, while the top one cover all the synths. And I will usually start with the bass being on the first pad in the top raw and continue adding elements as I build the pattern. That way I can easily remember which part is which. Its not a strict rule, and I am more flexible with that sometimes, but I try to keep it consistent. Hope this answer you questions and helpful :) And thanks again for watching and the sub!

[@wetwork6553]

I love your tutorials so much. I literally use this to help with the sampler version. I have a question, would you happen to know why when I switch patterns on the sampler there is an audible gap?? Do you have any remedies for this?

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

Hey thanks for watching and really glad to know these are useful! 🙂 About your question, I am assuming it is the same thing that happens with the Synth (blue) version. I am afraid that is how this gear works, each pattern store all the settings and data, so when switching between those patterns, it is almost like it needs a millisecond to reset and load the next ones (like filters, envelopes effects etc'). Another thing is that the envelopes on both of the Electribe are monophonic, and while you can play a few notes together, the notes "cut" each other if they played one after another with a long release (decay mode). My suggestion will be to avoid pads or other long notes parts in between the patterns states, and also trying to keep similar settings between transitions. Once you get used to this idea, you start to think more carefully about how to construct your patterns, so its kind of work, but I do wish Korg had made a much better song mode.. Hope this helps!

[@wetwork6553]

@@RandomNoiseMusic Absolutely helps. This answers another question I always had as to why I've never seen videos featuring the performer switching patterns. Wish Korg ironed this out, but oh well, will make do with the tips provided. Thx again!!

[@wanztfunfvierzwei28]

Hey. I enjoy your videos a lot. Can you explain why if i put in the sequencer the Snare(for Exemplar in pad13) and hihats(pad 14) on the same steps. You can hear just one of the pads.

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

Pad 13 is usually reserved for the closed hi hat, and pad 14 for the open hi hat. Drum machines have been built in the past in a way that mimic a real drummer. If you think about it, there is only one hi hat in a drum set, and it is either can be closed or opened at one time. In more modern machine like the Electribe, or even vst softwares, you can actually choose to assign 2 or more sounds to the same group so they mute each other. So you can either choose to reserve pad 13 & 14 for the closed and opened hi hats, or you can change the settings for these pads to not mute each other. Search in the menu for ALTERNATE 13 & 14 and turn it off (I think it is page 13 in the pattern menu if I am not wrong). There is also ALTERNATE 15 & 16 option btw.

Fantastic tutorial! Thank you so much for posting. I’ve just got an Electribe 2 and am slowly working out what each function does. Please can you tell me what the 3 blank spaces are for in the note mode of the step sequencer? At 3.38 in the video you change the note for one of the pads in the 1st slot on the left but leave the three other slots blank. In what situation would you use these?

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

Thank you so much! Happy to know it is useful! The blank spaces are basically extra notes you can program to the sequencer to play more than one note at a time, like a chord. So you can use that to program a chord progression for example

Thanks for watching and kind words! I am afraid that the Electribe 2 doesn't really has a song mode, so it's not possible to record and store the performance on the device itself. What you could do is, create all the patterns with the different transitions and needed arrangement, and use the Chain Mode to tie them together.

Hi, thanks for this tutorial. It helps me get back to musicproduction after a long break. I have a question. Everything worked as you described until changing the length to 4 bars. It only copies the kick to all bars the rest is only on bar 1 and 3. Any idea how I can fix this? Thx 4 help

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

Thank for watching and glad to know it inspires you to make music again! First, you got to make sure that you start your pattern on the 1st bar (for some reason Korg made it so that its not defaulted to the first one after initializing a new pattern..) Now before increasing the length, create your full pattern on the 1st bar, and only after you feel like you got the basic structure, increase the length. The way it works it that bars are only copied from the 1st bar onwards after increasing the length of the pattern. Its a clunky workflow that confused the hell out of me too in the beginning, and I don't understand why Korg designed it that way instead of having a simple copy and paste method between the bars.. Hope this helps clarifying!

[@darkoedit]

Hi I like your tutorials so much and I have a big problem, if you could please reply to this question ASAP. How to copy parts within the same pattern. For example if I have a part number 4 within the same pattern and I wanna copy it to part number 1,2,or 3, how could I be able to do that. That is one of the biggest lag for this puppy. Thanks in advance

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

Hey, what do you mean by copy parts, like having one synth or drum sound patch on one of the parts and then copy it to another? you can use the shift+pad 13 for that. If you mean copying the bar to the rest of the bars, there is no direct function for that. What you will have to do for that is first creating your full sequence for all the parts on the first bar (you have to start with 1 bar for this to work), and then when you covered all of them you should extend the pattern to 2, 3 or 4 bars as needed. I hope this answer your questions and helps

hello! to start thank you very much because you help me a lot. I need your help I'm stuck.. I explain my problem.. I practice doing the exact same thing as you in the video with the same Korg. I do this to train and understand electribe in more detail. so I do exactly the same thing as you in the video and arrive at the moment when you pass the "length" from 1 to 4 It happens that everything I have just done does not complete like you... the sequence cuts out every 2 seconds. parcontre the kick that was placed in the sequencer and the other I hope you can help me and understand me because I started with the electribe 2. I am French, I hope you will understand my English :) Ty

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

Glad you find my videos helpful! You always have to make sure that you start with the first bar (1) and don't change the length to 4 until you finished the basic elements. You also have to make sure that you don't press the next 2,3 & 4and change something there. The Electribe will only copy from 1 to the rest if the rest are empty and you didn't change something there. I hope I am able to explain it clearly here. I sometime forget about that too and have the same problem.

You're welcome! You got to make sure that you create first everything on the first bar before extending it. Only after that you should change the number of bars, and it should copy all to the rest of them

@@RandomNoiseMusic Thanks ! it didn't work because my pattern was not clean (initialised) Your videos saved me a lot of time !!!

Hi. Nice video. One question. Why you have volume to max? Cheers

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

Hey, thanks for watching! I prefer it like that with my setup - the Electribe is connected to my Focusrite scarllette audio interface through the balanced inputs and the gain seems to work best when the volume is all the way up.

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

Its different from connecting through the headphones. I think that there is more power coming from the headphones jack

[@Henr1x]

I can't do such thing on the Emx-1. When I use the audio interface of a zoom h5 to record without a daw I need to play it with very low volume. It starts cracking the sound. Maybe new Electribes are different.

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

@@Henr1x could also be that the zoom has a pre amp on the connection. I never used one (the zoom), but maybe it is possible to disable the pre amp for cases when it is not used with a microphone. I had similar issues when connecting mine to the combo jack on the focusrite

[@Henr1x]

@@RandomNoiseMusic indeed I feel something is going wrong with it. Need to check it better.

[@AnalogFlava]

Does anybody know how new models compare to the old ones? In terms of sound, do the old ones sound better, the tubes may be a big factor in the shaping of the unit I imagine?

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

I've heard and watched many swear by the sound of the MX. I never had one, I had the R MK2 many many years ago, but I do remember the MX when they just came out. Use to play with them in the shop. The tube do make a difference if I remember correctly. The new Electribe sounds a bit more digital I guess. There are more oscillators options with the new ones, but I think the MX did sound slightly better. The filters on the new ones are better though in my opinion.

HI! I'm a french guy and I have the ELECTRIBE 2S!!! Is it the same pads for shift mode... can I put the same sticks and at the same name and place? Because I made some lives and what you show us is interresting because I learned lots of things.... So is the the same for red electribe? I'll test that but if you can to tell me! and more if possible:) thanks really! I'll wait for your return. "SPK" aka SaPerLIp@TeK

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

Hey thanks for watching! Glad it is useful for you! 🙂 I think it should be the same, you can see it in details here: rotten77.cz/korg-electribe/korg-electribe-shortcuts-color.png

[@daroanvimusen]

17:20 and...If we create a new parts with the same sound to create chords of 2 or 3 notes with a longer decay? it would be a trick

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

True, hard to maintain and perform live though if you want to modify different parameters like the filter for example. But it could be good for ambient evolving long pads and such 👍

[@daroanvimusen]

@@RandomNoiseMusic ups, certainly, that option has those limitations that you have mentioned! Thanks !

[@sullycliftona888]

I so badly want one. But Korg don’t seem to get on well connected to Roland stuff so. Hey ho …

[@jackcaptain87]

Im getting error When I try apply Data Utility :(ps. In my electribe data utility is in page 28 and initialize pattern is in page 3, no page 5)

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

Ah, that sounds strange. Not sure why you are getting that error

[@RHoonte]

So a ''song'' (pattern) cannot be longer than 64 steps?

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

Yeah, unfortunately not... Bad decision from Korg. You can chain the patterns for longer steps though its not ideal

Pourrais tu faire un 'tuto', avec 'chain to' et 'pattern set',? Please

It’s a shame sampling on this thing is mediocre considering it’s great at sequencing

[@psyBDC]

great video it helped me a lot to understand how these kind of hardware works....but i have an question ....can electribe sample external sounds ...for instance...record from an external source and then turn it into a loop or a note ? Thanks man...keep it going...

[@RandomNoiseMusic]

Thanks! Glad it can be helpful :) Yes, the Sampler version can (the red one). The Synth version (the blue one) by default can't, unless you install the Hacktribe firmware on it.
