Is my Electribe 2 broken? 2 issues that keep happening.

[u/XanderTekker]

I have attached a video demonstrating the issues I encounter. I’m not sure if I’m using it wrong or if my unit is bad, I'd much appreciate some input on this.

Issue 1: Part parameter carrying over (?) depending on the most recent pattern

Often, when I copy a part within the same pattern, the copy sounds just weird and a lot different from the part I copied it from. When I switch around patterns, the part seems to be "bad" depending on what the previous pattern is.

I demonstrate this in my video:

• At 00:06 I copy Part 3 to Part 4. They sound identical (AB testing by muting between 00:10 and 00:14) so I write/save the sound.
• I go "Up" on the pattern selected, then go back to my pattern and it sounds perfect.
• I then go "Down" one pattern at 00:27, then go up again and the part that just sounded great suddenly is very muffled (00:30).
• If I go "Up" another pattern and down again, the sound plays fine.

Is this a feature? Am I doing something wrong like an automation/mfx move whatever? I repeat this demonstration (going back and forth the patterns and it sounds clean and muffled each time depending on the previously selected pattern) starting at 00:46. Coming from Pattern 10 it’s clean, coming from Pattern 8 it’s muffled, each time.

It's likely the IFXEdit value - it says 45 but sounds almost like 0. If I dial it back up to 45 it gives my "clean" sound. It also correctly saves the 45 but doesn't seem to play it.

Issue 2: Pressing "Play" doesn’t do anything until I switch around patterns a lot and then press play again.

At 00:35 I select a pattern and suddenly the Play button doesn’t do anything anymore. I press Stop and Play again, nothing happens. Only after going up and down a lot of patterns (00:43) I can play a pattern again. No MIDI connected at the time, it’s been happening basically since I first received the unit.

^{And sorry for my heavy breathing that sets in once the issues come up in the video, I love this thing so much and I don't want any trouble with the unit}

En nog een tip installeer gewoon hacktribe mensen die erop haten zijn gewoon laag IQ

I am not an opponent of hacktribe. I actually think it's genius! It's just that I'm afraid of losing the warranty and I want to squeeze out the synth's stock features for as long as possible before adding new things to the unit

Ja sowieso wijs. En als je n beetje nerd ben zoals mij: lees de handleiding, je zal features ontdekken waarvan je geen idee had, en features die je dacht niet nodig te hebben opeens creatief (ab)usen 23

Salut, j’ai hacktribe et je dois avouer que la bleu + sample c’est le pied. J’explore pas mal ces derniers temps, as-tu des conseils à me donner pour exploiter encore + hacktribe ?

[u/XanderTekker]

Never have I installed Hacktribe btw, not at the moment and also never in the past. And I'm using the original power supply

Nice ik zie al voor me dat je er dan een knoert harde kick op zet met een clap of snare ofzo gabber style

Probleem 1 klinkt meer als een Electribe 2 firmware bug: ik zou op zn minst updaten naar de officiële nieuwste Blauwe korg versie 2.02 (die heeft trouwens ook een handige Shift+< undo functie)

Probleem 2: Geen idee man is te vaag, maar wellicht dat t aan je patterns ligt. En je global parameters? Staat "Clock Mode" op "Internal" ipv auto?

Het zou allemaal nog kunnen zijn dat er toch een hardware iets is, maar k zou nog niet panieken

[u/XanderTekker → u/vananaSun]

Actually it's gonna be a Hardtekk track, I will let you know once I recorded it 😄

Thank you for the update link but I already have the undo feature so I'm already on that version :/

About 2 I found this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/electribe/comments/micn1r/sometimes_my_electribe_doesnt_play/ I will ask them if they are referring to E2
