Tribe Tips: learning to love the electribe 2's sequencer, or at least tolerate it.

[@modulartheory]

So great to see people are keeping electribe vibes alive !!! 🎉

[@MyLittleSynths]

Hey, You too! Electribe 2 is such a fun box!

[@waynesilverman3048]

It's good for psych trance bass lines ,I like using the d key ,and finding what comes out when you use the motion sequence it always comes out very dark with me tip use the delay at the end

[@velocipede808]

It’s usually easier to just play notes in live but definitely useful to know how to make changes.

[@MyLittleSynths]

I agree, deffinently, its even easier with a midi keyboard attached! I guess my point in making the 'tribe tips' videos is to use the gear differently to inspire different results. 'Playng' melodies with 16 drum pads is alight, but I find I come up with better techno lines working other ways.

[@kaninhunter50]

i just bought the sampler version. I'm shocked with how low the numbers of videos are uploaded with this/these machines. They are flawed, but poweful nonetheless.

[@MyLittleSynths]

Yes, they are very overlooked. I think the original price left it in no man's land. It was more expensive then most entry level gear but cheaper then more pro level gear. I'd deffinently recommend you look into installing the hacktribe OS.

[@MyLittleSynths]

Oh and welcome to the E2 club!

[@waynesilverman3048]

And psych trance vids ,as this has less key board pads and the Apr.Different ,doesn't bother me only one time when I wanted to do a remix of a tune and it had high notes I know u can add Oct but the tunes in 4/8

[@danieklerr]

Dang, see. Again, this is useful. I've never thought of using the velocity for ducking. I've just pined away about the lack of accent, which I use for ducking on the ESX. Thanks again!

[@MyLittleSynths]

I tend to produce rather minimal productions, so side chaining and polyphony have never been much of an issue for me. If you like alot of work you COULD motion sequance in your ducking.. I might do a video on that actually. Was playing with the idea of using a tracker to 'program the motion recorder' I believe motion is recorded to the pattern not the part, so you could make a template. 🤔

[@dan_apeks]

Just dropping a comment to say it pairs well with a tracker e.g. polyend tracker - can send modulation and sequences

[@MyLittleSynths]

@@dan_apeks yes! and you can record it into the E2's sequencer. So you could make a sidechained template as your initial patch and start every production with side chain already there.

[@trollied]

Thank you so much for this! Already looking forward to the next video.

[@MyLittleSynths]

No problem, love the the Electribe2 and have been using it for 8 years now! Hope I can inspire and help others by sharing.

[@stamphetekk]

The song you crated hypnotized me to the point that I had to watch the video again 😂

[@MyLittleSynths]

Dotted 16ths tend to have that effect. Alot of my favorite tracks have something driving on the 16ths, almost like a metronome or a grid.

[@waynesilverman3048]

I suppose trance music created that with these 16th notes building to the main tune when it goes quite the drop

[@wboumans]

Not looking at the screen is not the same 😂 It's still quantized. But I get what you mean. 😅

[@MyLittleSynths]

Yes, but also stay tuned, I'm going to do a video making sequences using the pitch knob, that gets you off the scale some.

[@willybobo8846]

i have the E2 and SPmk2 as well... having a digital synth comes in handy.

[@galinradev]

Hi, can I ask you if these are the original knobs

[@MyLittleSynths]

No, I got them from DJ techtools. They don't fit right on the encoders, but add a little pice of paper and it fixes that.

[@eltchavo1413]

C'est pas la sampler

[@MyLittleSynths]

I have the Hacktribe os installed. So, best of both sampler and synth versions! 😊
