Does the pattern gap issue still remain?

Hi,
I still have not pulled the trigger on one of the new electribes but I'm starting to get the itch again.

Does anyone know if the pattern gap issues has been completely resolved yet? I felt like I read somewhere that it's still there a little. My concern mainly is with MIDI sync and keeping my Elektron RYTM and the new Blue ES2 super tight.

Thanks in advance!

I have the original grey electribe 2, and I never notice the pattern gap when i slave my electribe to external midi gear (a Boss RC-300).

I've also noticed that the "write" stutter is non-existent when pressing write while the REC light is lit.

Hope this helps

Nope!

Now watch people tell me: "You're Wrong!!!"

There is still a gap on pattern switching, but it doesn't affect midi sync.
I run the sampler sync'd to Octatrack with no problems at all.

Depending on what sounds are playing at the end of the pattern the gap may be more or less noticeable.

Well dang. I want to use the Electribe for pads and synth sounds. It seems like gaps and such would effect those sounds the most versus percussion.

Anybody have any video demos of this issue? I'm still on the fence.
