[. . . ] It also gives the Electribe•S a desirable tonality, not unlike the vintage samplers desired by many rap/hip-hop artists. 32 kHz Mono/Stereo Sampling Sample through the effects 20 bit A/D/A Normalize Truncate Realtime Resampling Apply effects to an existing sample Capture knob motions Create new groove loops from your Patterns and realtime performances! Resampling enables you to reuse the internal effects again and again with no loss of sonic quality, and add knob motions directly into your sampled phrase. 100 Sample Locations 100 (mono) or 50 (stereo) samples Up to 12 Parts 9 parts (1& 2, 3& 4 stereo, 5-9 mono) Time Slice Audio In Accent You can have a large sample library to program from at any given time. Complete ideas can be programmed with this large palette of sound sources. 7 Part Parameters: Remember/Speed Filter Reverse Level Pan Roll Effect on/off Plenty of control to shape your sound – and parameter changes can be recorded as Motion Sequences to add movement! Real/Steptime Pattern Sequencer 128 Patterns/16 Songs 1 to 4 measures, 64 steps per Pattern 256 Patterns/steps per Song The same sequencing interface as the other Electribes, with cool new features like Roll and fractional BPM resolution. 2 KORG User Manual– Electribe•S Feature Pattern Sets 4 sets of 16 patterns each Benefit Being able to call up different Patterns with the push of a Step Key is perfect for live performance/mixing. Internal effects allow you to process your samples to create exciting and powerful new sounds. With resampling you can add effects to each part to give it it’s own unique quality. [. . . ] - Pitch values differing by a value of 6 will generate “whole steps” (skipping over a piano key or guitar fret). NOTE: As you get further away from the source pitch of your original sample, these values may need to be altered slightly to suit the application. See the chart on page 26 of this guide for a detailed listing of pitch values. More on editing Motion sequences The Motion Destination and Motion Value functions allow you to select and extensively edit the parameters used in every Motion sequence. When you select a Motion Destination, you indicate which knob or switch parameters you want to edit, by the Motion Value settings you choose. These functions are accessed in the 4 and 5 row of the PATTERN column. The chart on the following page will help you to understand the destination and value parameters you can select and view in the display: th th 13 KORG User Manual – Electribe•S Motion Destination PCh (Pitch/Speed) LEU (Level) FLt (Filter) Pan (Pan) EFF (Effect) roL (Roll) rEU (Reverse) Ed1 (Edit 1) Ed2 (Edit 2) dPt (Depth tin (Time) Motion Value Dis, -64…63 Dis, 0…127 Dis, 0…127 Dis, L. 64…r. 63 dis, oFF…on dis, oFF…on dis, oFF…on dis, 0…127 dis, 0…127 dis, 0…127 dis, o…127 Effect and Delay Motion sequences: Unlike the previous Motion sequences you worked with, Effect and Delay Motion sequences allow simultaneous recording of two knob changes each. You go about the Motion sequence recording process in the same way, but can record (and edit) the movements of the Edit 1 and Edit 2 knobs – in an Effect Motion sequence, and the Depth and Time knobs – in a Delay Motion sequence. Working with pattern length and trigger settings A pattern can be from one to four bars long. The length can be set with a combination Shift key/Step key command. For the following exercise, you'll copy pattern b. 64 to pattern b. 63, and change the new pattern length. Change the pattern length: 1. Make sure that you are on pattern b. 64, and then press the WRITE key and rotate the DIAL to select pattern b. 63. Press the WRITE key again, to copy pattern b. 64 to b. 63. Don't play the pattern yet… 3. Select pattern A. 26, and then PLAY the pattern to hear how it sounds. Hold down the Shift key, and then press step key 3 (Swing). A value of 50 will flash in the display. Rotate the DIAL to a setting of "69". Press step key 3 again (flashing), to set the new Swing value. PLAY the pattern to hear the new swing setting. STOP playback of the pattern, and then hold down the Shift key and press step key 3. Rotate the DIAL to set the value in the display to "50". Press step key 3 again to set the Swing value to it’s original setting. PLAY the pattern to hear the "straight" 16beat pattern, then STOP playback. E-TIP!!!You can use the Swing function to "loosen-up" a rigid-feeling pattern, and give it more of a "groove". [. . . ] Change b. 62’s pattern length to one bar: Hold down the Shift key, and press step key 1 (Length); rotate the DIAL to a setting of “1”, and then press step key 1 again. Press and hold down the Pattern Set key while pressing the REC key. Press the PLAY key (flashing) to begin resampling; press the STOP key when the pattern plays once. Press the SAMPLE key below the display, and then press the PLAY key to audition your resample. [. . . ]
