1) Change the part mode to mono
2) Higher pitched samples will be faster, that's just how samplers work. More advanced samplers have time-stretching to get round this and compensate, but not the ES2

Looks very impressive and sounds great. It blows the Volca Bass out of the water but is 4x the price (here in UK)

Release notes
Fixed a bug related to “SOFTWARE UPDATE”

Wow thanks Korg, that's a lot of detail

Can't decide if this was: - An accidental bug - Deliberate design decision - A hardware/software limitation within the Volca FM they couldn't get around I'm baffled as to why it was designed this way, so I'm hoping it'll be fixed in a later firmware, but if it's a hardware limitation - we're stuck ...

RIP ES2 ???
This thing costs over four times what an ES2 costs

Get a grip.

The Witch House sound relies heavily on processed 808 snares and other 808 sounds. Volca Sample is your best bet IMO
The Volca Beats just won't sound right. Maybe the Keys could get you some spooky and detuned lead sounds

Ahhh damn, that's exactly what I was after!
As some of what I want it for is long but simple ambient sounds

Thanks for the info guys, I still think I'll pick one up, I've been thinking about it for far too long!

Can I apply an attack & decay envelope to an sample, specifically one that is has a looped sustain part? Yes, but the sample must have a loop point to operate with a true amp envelope. Also, because the unit has "phony-poly" (paraphonic), each note in a poly part or chord will share a single ...

I think I have one last question before I finally take the plunge and pick up an ES2. :P Can I apply an attack & decay envelope to an sample, specifically one that is has a looped sustain part? Say I sample a simple saw wave, and the sample has no envelope, it just starts & stops at same volume. I ...

Thanks man, that confirms what I thought. I saw no mention of it in the manual or parameter guide.

Real shame, makes it pretty much useless as an external sequencer for me.

I'd like to get an ES2 and one of the things I'd want to use it for is sequencing external gear. I know it can do that but I have a question about the MIDI in and out. I'd like to plug my master keyboard into the MIDI in on the ES2 but then have all the MIDI input data, looped/copied to the MIDI out ...

Just wondering...
Does this sample set include the drum breaks and loops you used in your breakcore video?

Very cheap connector.Then Jack in stereo pair (2*TS) >stereo minijack (TRS) between splitter and KP.

Thanks! I'll see if I can find this cable combo and give it a try

Anyone used a Mini KP2 as an effect unit connected to an analogue mixer, via the standard aux send/return ? The issue I have is - the aux send on my mixer goes out via mono jack - and the Mini KP2 takes a *stereo* mini jack for the line in. I've tried every possible combination of cable and adapter ...

Nice idea.

In a weird way these sorts of workarounds to the limitations of the Electribes are part of the appeal for me (and using 'hardware only' when making music in general)
