Info: Petition zur Verbesserung der aktuellen Electribe-Generation

Das ist doch mal eine super Sache. Nicht wenige waren irgendwie unzufrieden mit der neuen Generation von Korgs Electribe. Es waren sogar so viele, dass sich durch das Korgforum eine Petition zur Verbesserung eben dieser gegründet hat. Mittlerweile ist das ausgegebene Ziel von 500 Unterzeichnern fast erreicht, also schaltet euch doch mit ein.

Was genau fordern die Unterzeichner denn? Nun, ihre Liste mit Lösungsvorschlägen ist lang, aber wir haben sie euch hier einmal hinein kopiert. Leider ist das ganze auf Englisch.

„These are the current recommended improvements:

8. Pre-listening of samples directly from the SD card.
9. Enable access to the “sample import” menu more direct. A simple way to achieve this would be: long press on a pad + Menu/Enter = direct access to the SD card file tree.
10. The units should have the ability to chain patterns together (for longer patterns than just 4 bars).
11. Revise display screen to display more information: knob values; FX info; ADSR graph; waveform representation on the screen – for quick editing; and the display should show if the current value isn’t the original value anymore (like on the EMX/ESX).
12. Add an „undo“ feature (possibly by using: shift+exit).
13. Revise the arpeggiator to include Up/down, random, and scales.
14. Improve the step sequencer as the current workflow is clunky and often problematic. Recommended: make the step sequence menu circular so you can left arrow from the on/off screen to the velocity screen and implement a step record function as was present in previous Electribes.
15. Pads should blink in Mute mode.
16. Send CC automation values to MIDI out.
17. Decay and release could be separated. A simple way to implement this would be to use the shift key to edit the release amount.
18. Unit should have synced step jump so it stays in time on release.
19. Add the ability to loop individual bars.
20. Add the option for per part play speed: allow a single part to be played at half speed / quarter speed or other option.
21. For the E2 have the step edit for Oscillator edit just like in the E2S.
22. All Step Jump actions and changes recorded and reflected in the sequencer in NORMAL record mode.
23. Add the ability to set velocity numerically for each part; 1-127.
24. Add the ability in Mute mode to press/hold the Mute button to select tracks/pads and chose record mute on/off.
25. Visual display of scales and chords played on part.
26. Add the ability to be able to enter notes or chords in sequencer mode and the ability to nudge notes.
27. Add the option for MIDI local on/off and/or midi thru and MIDI channel choice per part (should allow part layering).
28. Direct access to editing various modifications/parameters of each step.
29. Add the ability to copy/paste bars/notes around the whole machine.
30. BPM LFO’s should be parameterized by musical values.
31. Add the ability for per part MFX send level.
32. Add the ability to be able to assign the X-Y pad to do different modification parameters and save that setting with each Pattern.
33. Add a time stretch function for samples.
34. Key transpose in sequencer mode and make transposing of whole parts easier.
35. Follow the playback position on the pads.
36. Add the ability to save and load different pattern sets (.all files), and associated sample sets, to and from the SD card.
37. Revise the manual to include details about MIDI implementation and the unit’s voice architecture as well as any improvements.“

Was haltet ihr davon? Werdet ihr vielleicht sogar unterschreiben? Wir sind gespannt auf eure Meinungen.
