i'm in the middle of deciding if i should buy Digitone or E2+E2S and such great live sets are not helping me to decide which one is better ... it's like conditional triggers/plocks and grat FM engine VS. combined 32 tracks, sampling and more controls ..
If you could only have one of the Electribes, which would it be? BTW love how the tracks are built real time. Rarely see anyone using the XY pad either but seen it in use in your vids.
Hi! Thank you very much! I would keep the synth. It has way more options to craft interesting sounds. And the sampler is less special in that department. I'm using XY pad for master effect mostly. Tried to do snare rolls with arpeggiator, but this way it eats more voices than when I just put them in sequencer mode. Actually, what is really very very very bad about both Electribes is how polyphony is managed. And the worst thing that it's not obvious what takes voices especially when you play live.
@@cut-n-mute9482 I'm looking for something portable, cheap and fun. Do you have better recommendations? I've seen older Octatracks for under $600 but not sure if the workflow is really that fun not how portable the machine would be. For under $250 (used) I think we have to live with the limited DSP/firmware even if 15 years ago we had things like the RM1X. It's a shame though, the firmware seems half done and Korg stopped support basically. Out of the few grooveboxes on UA-cam the Electribe 2 boxes seem to produce pretty complete tracks regularly. The elektron model:samples also has my interest but it's not on the used market yet. Elektrons hold their value so maybe it's low risk to buy the model:samples new and sell it later. The FX and synthesis of the Elektribe seem more interesting though than the model:samples. I haven't heard any convincing demos from the Novation Circuit, I should probably search more carefully.
@@difflocktwo Don't get me wrong. You can have a lot of fun with Electribe. I've already said it before that somehow Electribe's limitations are it's advantages. And even when you hit the polyphony limit and you are far away from all you want to add to the track, at first it makes you mad, but then you become creative in trying to fit all your stuff. (Sampler is better with that, because you can always resample several tracks to one and free some voices.) And after all you can always export everything to Ableton project and start overdubbing. And yes, getting from nothing to a finished track is much faster with Electribe than with Ableton with Push 2 for instance. I've got Push 2 for three years and still didn't manage to build a complete live performance. While on Electribe I can build something reasonable in 20-30 minutes. So if you have an opportunity to get a used E2 for a reasonable price, you definately should. Any way you will be able to sell it back at nearly the same price.
@@cut-n-mute9482 Thanks for your insights. I have been on the lookout for an E2 or E2S. Will pick one up when I find one. I think the prices are slowly going up lol, anyway thanks.
Great track. It sounds absolutely reduced! I have electribe blue and I'm thinking of taking red now. As you can see, it turns out a great combo. But maybe it makes sense to save money on a roland mc-707? What do you think?
Thanks a lot! I don't have an MC 707, but it seems like it's an Ableton in the box and it sounds great. If you got the money, for sure go for it. :-)))
@@cut-n-mute9482 ha! At the price of "one mc-707 = three electribe". This is sad) Why don't you have any more electribe videos? This is incredibly inspiring) It just makes me think about two at once. Do you have any other channels where I can listen to your music?
@@ramaravana I'm digging my MPC Live in all senses of the word "digging". ;-) But if you ask for it... I've got a couple of ideas, so maybe soon I will post some Electribe videos. Thanks again for watching and your feedback!!!
How do the black version pads feel like compared to the red version pads? are they just thinner/harder? are there any downsides? I have the newer pads and i absolutely love them and would like to buy a used black electribe because they are dirt cheap used but i've been hesitating because of the pads are different.
The pads are obviously different and on the Red they feel more solid and expensive (if that makes sense). But there's no actual difference in response or something that lets you do something on one what you can't do on the other. They are good enough to make music, I would say. ;-)
As standalone units they are quite limited especially in the sequencer domain, but they are great for sound crafting! Using them with Ableton solves the problem.
an inspiration for all of us ES2 owners :-)
Wow..I already have the electribe 2 synth version now iam definitely getting the sample version as well thank you..😊
I love this little performance and I love my electribe!
I like those reverse crashes. This is something special sounding right here.
you really know your electribes, good work !! thanks
thats a lovely tune mate, definitely using yr tools well there.
I've been undecided about what to get to get interactive with my turntables.this looks like what I need.great song.
Because of you, I just purchased the Red one. Thank you so much for the inspiration and I hope I can follow in your dancing footsteps :)
Good tunes to you! :-))
Absolutely amazing. 👍
Thank you so much!
Oooo superb ,,,, fire the jam,,,
Jam again like this !!!!!

I upgraded from my first iPhone the 4s to SE a while back.
I think SE is a great smartphone. Personally I don't like the large form-factor. Hope they will make an upgraded SE with a newer processor.
i'm in the middle of deciding if i should buy Digitone or E2+E2S and such great live sets are not helping me to decide which one is better ... it's like conditional triggers/plocks and grat FM engine VS. combined 32 tracks, sampling and more controls ..
Sorry about that ;-))) As far as I know, Digitone is far more functional.
I own both, digitone is far more deeper and sophisticated in terms of sound design.
If you could only have one of the Electribes, which would it be? BTW love how the tracks are built real time. Rarely see anyone using the XY pad either but seen it in use in your vids.

@@difflocktwo You're welcome. And when you get one, study the preset songs. They'll tell you a lot about how to make it sound right.
Awesome live track. May i ask how they are connected? Looks like they are synced and the sampler through audio in of the electribe?
That is correct. Midi sync and audio from the sampler goes to the audio input of E2.
Great track. It sounds absolutely reduced! I have electribe blue and I'm thinking of taking red now. As you can see, it turns out a great combo. But maybe it makes sense to save money on a roland mc-707? What do you think?

I consider these things junk but nice one.

Not junk. Might be the operator? I get them dancing with this unit!
DANM THAT AWESOME
