I guess the rest of the votes could be collected on that FB group which has over 3000 members. The links keep showing up, but the admin is deleting them – nothing related to group rules but totally his personal decision.
If anyone is on the group please keep on trying, take screenshots of your posts. Instead of linking to the petition directly - please link to the Sonicstate article:
or any other. Send the admin a PM. Or vote for a new one
I would do that myself but I left this group a long time ago because the level of discussion sunk to a low that I just couldnt bare. Just got rid of something that was just a distraction. I think the current censorship situation proved me right. Still, there's over 3000 potential voters out there.
Okay, so the only new thing about the updates is that you get pattern chaining, an undo and and finally an indicator to to show last state.
At the expense of sounding unappreciative but...that's it!?!?!
Yeah, I think we need to push the petition on. No arpeggio, no Unit should have synced step jump so it stays in time on release, no ability to be able to enter notes or chords in sequencer mode and the ability to nudge notes, and so on and so on....
At least Revising the arpeggiator to include Up/down, random, and scales, that's a huge thing, that could have been added. That's on almost every Korg product now, including the cheapy bluetooth keyboard!
I hope I fall in love with the pattern chaining as much as Korg made it a big deal.

It's a step in the right direction and I'm not sure that this was prompted by the petition, as the petition hasn't even been sent to Korg yet. This gives me some hope that the new electribes have not been abandoned and I'm optimistic that we will see further updates in the future. It'll be interesting to see if any of the more vocal naysayers on here hold their hands up and admit that they were wrong. I'm not mentioning any names, we all know who they are
Added a Chain function that plays multiple patterns in succession.
•
E1

CHAIN TO
"Off"
CHAIN MODE
"Off"
CHAIN REPEAT
"1"
•
• •
The pattern parameters “CHAIN TO” and “CHAIN REPEAT” and the global parameter “CHAIN MODE” have
been added.
For details, refer to the latest version of the "electribe sampler Parameter Guide."
Immediately after the software update, the settings will be as follows. Pattern parameters Global parameters
Added an UNDO function.
We have added an UNDO function that cancels the previous operation, such as parameter edit, sequence recording, or Erase.
To execute UNDO, hold down the shift button and press the < button.
Added an “Original Value” function that indicates the saved value of the parameters. A few minor bugs have been fixed.

I'm happy. Korg is still interested in Electribes, and for me that is the biggest news! Not all things I wished are there yet, but its moving forward. Cool!
yes, and then if they want to sell their little red or blue boxes ... it would be better that they take into account that there is currently a petition which runs in parallel of this products launch...

This is very true...this is a step in the right direction. I can only hope that Korg continues to update the Electribes. The next obvious move is a proper Arpeggio. Even still on the sampler there is step edits for the sample/Oscillator, yet not on the E2...still? Not the end of the world but an obvious "ah why not".
Pattern chain opens new worms. To make it really useful to in a live setting is, for one, the chaining features need to to be accessible via shift+5 and shift+6 since now those shift functions are now redundant. You really don't want to menu dive for this. Also have the option to make your chain to selections via a pattern in a pattern set instead of using the dial. A performer can create a pattern set, set up and then live make all of these combinations all over the place. It would be very helpful live.
Yep now I have 2 new items I want in a new firmware

yes, and this is because when a new feature is implemented, it is half done ...
it grows in fits and starts. no long-term vision.
(KORG is not the only manufacturer to do this nowadays but it is a good example..)
why users always have good ideas? (often, after only a few minutes of use ...)
do they use their products at least? Sometimes one wonders ...
Even though I updated to 2.2 and am more than happy with pattern chain (It solves my main problem of the 4 bars, so pretty much a game changer) I do believe many things should and could be improved.
* Blinking lights when parts are muted
* UNLOCK THE GRID !!! I'm originaly a drummer, so finger drumming is a pleasure for me and sometimes I come up with a nice displacement feel or groove only to face the disappointment of it being quantized after recording.
* Arpegiator. I LOVE randomized arpeggiators and would love to play around with one on the pad.
* I can't seem to notice the glitch when recording on the fly anymore, but I think the clippy gap when changing patterns is still there, and that should be adressed ASAP.
I'm pretty new to this machine (and DAW-less electronic music production as a whole, for that matter), only been having it for about a month and a half, so I'm still learning it's capabilities and limitations, but have been able to do amazing stuff with it and would love to see this box grow up to become a legendary device as the MPC's and older Electribes are.
Signed the petition yesterday, so hope many more of us will do as well !

The colors are an attempt at revival - they'll kill the grey one in a month or two and try to convince everybody there is a new release.
It is a step, and I appreciate Korg for doing it, but the release was botched and they're trying to hit reset and get sales volumes back up.
Now is the EXACT time to get the petition up there. Lots of great suggestions from the community.
Exactly the petition is more useful than ever!
since we know now that Korg has not abandoned the Electibe 2 lineup and they will want to sell their blue and red boxes
it also shows that there have been a crew of developers recently involved in the development of this product
so it's now or never
I totally agree with that

Hugo wrote:Do you also notice a gap in pattern chain mode?
I have never been quite sure if it is the way the patterns are implemented or if it is a hardware/software glitch. I haven't notice any in my pattern changes for a while now. But you can hear what appear to be gaps on the soundcloud demos they have on their site for the new patterns.
