Some basic controls to get started:
Groove boxes like the electribe offer many possible workflows.
The electribe has 16 parts, each represented by one of the 16 main buttons.
Each button is a sound ... a drum, percussion, or synth part.
A good way to start is to cycle through each of the manufacturers presets.
Pressing play will allow you to listen to the various tunes/ patterns.
Once you have found something you like stop the sequence & press the trigger button.
Pressing each of the 16 pads will now allow you to listen to each sound without the sequence playing.
A good way to start to learn the electribe is to create original sequences with some of the manufacturer's parts.
1. Select a part that you wish to clear of its sequence.
Use the <PART PART> to navigate to the selected part.
You will see a light under each pad move to let you know which pad is in focus.
2. Shift & Button 14 (clear sequence)
This will remove the sequence, but the part settings are left.
3. Repeat this for all the 16 parts if you wish to remove all the manufacturers sequences.
You now have a palette of 16 sounds to work with.
4. We now want to save this to a new slot, and then write new patterns.
The electribe doesn't automatically save changes so its important to know how to do some basic saving.
Press SHIFT + WRITE
The WRITE button will flash
Use the master knob to rename the patch
5. Press WRITE again
The electribe is asking where you wich to save the new patch
To save to a empty slot, use the master knob to scroll to one of the elmpty patches
6. Press WRITE again to finally save.
