Especially since the electribe2 case is Zinc die cast...
Not sure it bends that well.

Blowtorch? (kidding).

I mine has a very slight wobble, so I'll be putting an additional sliver of padding under one of the feet, just like you do at a cafe table.

LOL, you don't have to really bend it, just a gentle push seems to sort out the slight offset. Worked fine for mine (which was also a bit wobbly initially), though obviously everyone should be comfortable with doing it before they try.

FWIW, my Elektron boxes all had this, as did my Strymon Timeline and my Ableton Push. Annoying, but it's usually a very small difference in case alignment that seems to cause it.

A request for a tip (or confirmation of a bug/glitch):

When using a large number of modulator parts with AMP/EG enabled, I get an initial click/pop when a trigger pad is pressed. If I turn off AMP/EG, the click goes.

Is this a bug with the AMP/EG module, or is it a symptom of the changes made by my AMP/EG settings?

Check out my thread on this issue. I've also posted a soundcloud track in there that highlights the clicks, so you can see if its the same issue you're facing.

So, this is not something fixed by the 1.05 firmware.

Mine wobbles slightly too!
Noticed it straight out of the box but fixed it by putting a piece of folded paper under the foot nearest the LCD.
Mine is s/n 2002, are they all bent the same way?

Each part has its own MFX send button.

This button allows you to select whether the output of a part is sent to the master effect or not. It switches between ON (lit) and OFF (dark) each time the button is pressed.

I would'nt blame Korg on this one.

Yes, that's not good. We should all be emailing/calling Korg about this. Seriously. Bombard them about this issue.

Clicking = not cool!

On their Facebook or Twitter maybe? A couple of months ago I've desperatly tried to contact Adobe support in an urgent matter. No luck with emails and contact forms, but they almost immediately responded to a tweet.

Different times I guess.

Hi everybody. I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I just recently received my Electribe and I'm diggin' it. I looked through the topic and don’t think I saw these tips covered, but if they have been already, many apologies.

Shift + Pad shortcuts to menu items (pads numbered 1-16, starting with top row left):
1 - Swing
2 - Pattern Length
3 - Clear MFX Motion
4 - Key
5 - Scale
6 - Gate Arp
7 - Last Step
8 - Groove Type
9 - Groove Depth
10 - Motion Seq
11 - Triger Pad Velocity
12 - Step Edit
13 - Copy Part
14 - Clear Sequence
15 - Clear Motion
16 - Metronome

Step Edit:
While in any of the Step Edit pages, you can navigate to the next step (or any other step) in the sequence by selecting a pad. So, for example, if I want to adjust the velocity of the steps on a sequence, I go to Step Edit > Velocity and adjust it for Step 1. Then, all I have to do is hit Pad 2, and I can adjust the velocity for Step 2 of the sequence.

Shift + Osc knob:
Jumps to the first oscillator of the next group type i.e. Kicks, Snares, Claps, Synths, etc.
