Electribe sampler crash / Export function (after slicing)

Sommerfeldt · Post by **Sommerfeldt** » Wed Aug 26, 2015 6:01 pm

Hi guys! Ive delivered my last unit back , and they found some small issues within the circuit card (inside the sampler) ive recieved a new one from KORG and ITS the same problem AGAIN.
Anyone heard of any faulty batches or something ?
Ive tried 4 different sd cards and everyone crashes)

I really like this unit (aswell as the electribe 2) but this is getting ridiculous!!!

Had the exact same problem today.
Imported a beat, changed the end-point, time-sliced the thing and exported All samples. The sampler stoped at 90% of the Export, and had to take the power from the device.
Everything i ever had imported was gone!
Acutally the only Sounds on the sampler was the synth parts.
Had to rebot without SD card to get the original Sound back..

I think it's a software issue, not hardware, though I'm on OS 1.05 so I can't confirm.
How are you getting the sample in question onto the card?
I've occasionally had problems where I would create an all sample file with one of the editors and the samples would load and play fine, but when I tried to save all samples from the e2s itself it would hang on export and I would have to remove batteries and delete the bunk all file and replace with a working one. Finally boiled down to the bitrate of some of the samples. When I removed the offending samples the saving works again.
Might be a totally unrelated issue, but maybe worth investigating.

That's the reason I started to create subfolders and move my working all sample files to those folders. Now I can reload without having to go back to the computer if something goes wrong.

Great Idea!
I Will start doing that

Thank you

Hey guys,
I had the same problem, my system crashed when I attempted to export a sliced sample. I did edit the start & end points before slicing it.
It happened twice.
I stumbled on this thread and attempted to slice another sample without adjusting the start/end points, and it exported just fine.
Thanks for figuring this out.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi, I have an idea to solve the issue:
- adjust start/stop
- export all samples
- load the exported all samples
- time slice
- export all again

There might be a bug in the electribe that do not update properly the slice points when it cuts the sample before start and after end when you save it.
Maybe it would be nice to inform korg of this...

In my editor I voluntarily do not cut samples before start point and after end point, but it could also be an issue if you load one of the e2sSample.all generated with the editor and then export from the electribe. I will have a look at this.

I will also make some tests to confirm

I just tested to do the same with firmware 2.02:
- edit start/end points
- slice

export sample/export all samples just work fine.
It seems that there is no problem with that firmware.

At least with os version 2.02, I just noticed that when you export a sliced sample the electribe does not truncate the sample before the start point (nor after the end point?).

I also noticed that the slices point addresses are relative to the start point, so the potential bug of the electribe I suspected can't exist.

It allowed me to detect a bug in my editor, which is addressing slices from the beginning of the sample, not from the start point...
I will correct it as soon as possible.

Thank you.
