I have just taken my Electribe 2 along with my EMX for a live jam with an electronics collective...a good solid 4 hour freeform jam really focussed the mind on what makes the EMX easy and the Electribe 2 difficult in a live pattern creation context...

basically all they need to add to solve a whole host of live usage issues is to create a "momentary/ latch" option for ERASE and MUTE and either PART, keys.

you would then hold whichever button listed above to select that action to be performed upon whichever part keys you press whilst holding the function, but upon release go back to either SEQUENCER, KEYBOARD CHORD or STEP JUMP mode

I would suggest as an alternate way to implement SOLO within this latch mode, you would bring the "double tap " action to the actual part pad in question whilst mute is held.

For me, if korg could implement something like this and allow the ability for all the step jump and midi Mfx variants to slip back into sync with the underlying beat I could happily live with the rest of the Electribe 2s foibles.

I totally agree with this Smile

The most annoying part of live playing with E2.

And I would add that when you're in MUTE mode, using shortcuts (SHIFT+PAD) shouldn't mute/unmute part associated to pressed pad, awful bug IMHO !

And also very important, ability to select a part without switching to TRIGGER mode (so, staying in SEQUENCER, KEYBOARD.....), even if you can use PREV/NEXT part keys.

actually one last thing needed as a bare minimum update for my own use...

the "running lights" of which parts are playing need to come "into focus" whenever ANY of these momentary select modes are entered..

a. it helps visually see that the mode is working and

b. it really helps to visualise which part you are wishing to select/mute etc

Guys, you CAN switch parts while in Keyboard/Sequencer/Chords.

Hold Shift+Keyboard/Sequencer/Chords+Pad

After touch would be a good feature.

thanks jim, i stand corrected! I meant Trigger/Keys/Chord. I was under the impression that holding shift allowed soundless selection. Its good to know you only have to hold down one of these mode buttons plus the pad to select parts without sounding them.

Personally I think what is needed first is a stable foundation. There are too many small and big bugs at the moment. The machine is unreliable on many fronts, that should be sorted out firstly.

Even a small thing as clearing a sequence will not toggle the pad lights until you moved to another part. It's small, but something that should've been found and addressed during the test phase.
