Sync Issues with EA-1, EA-MKII, ER-1 electribes

Post by fogfarm » Sat Jun 16, 2007 5:13 am

:!: the ER-1 is the master unit and it is sync'ed with the EA's. but when they play back their programmed parts, a clicking noises that corresponds with the rhythm of the the ER-1 is added. Does anyone know how to stop this from happening? :cry: :!:

This may be so duuhhh that it's insulting to ask, but the only thing I can think of is, maybe you have the er's metronome on? I sync my evolver to my er-1 and haven't had this problem.
Whenever people agree with me I tend to feel I must be wrong.

yeah, it's almost definitely the metronome. within the function grid, press the Global button, and select Metronome. turn the dial 'til it says Off.

other than that, the only thing i could think of is if you're running one of the unit's thru the other's audio input, and the clicking is a result of gated notes.

i know its not the metronome. i had those turned off. and its not the thing with the gated notes. maybe i will record the problem so you can hear it.

i'd definitely be interested in hearing this clicking if you can manage it.

Do yourself a favour and get shot of them! As I've said many a time - they're c**p in my humble opinion. The fact Korg have discontinued them speaks volumes. There is so much better stuff out there.
I hope you get your problem fixed though, I've just got such a dislike for them machines :x

Yeah.... and we are tired of hearing your "Humble" opinion. The guy has them and they most probably give him great enjoyment. If he wants to get rid, I'm sure he is capable of making that choice unaided. As for being "c**p".... perhaps it's just your inexperience exposing itself. The only "c**p" around here is you opinions about the tribes dude.

clueless - good choice of name in my opinion :wink:
in the UK we have a thing called free speech, which is what I'm using. You will note I actually said I hope he sorts his problem out ? All down to personal taste you see.

Sorry to revive a long dead thread(that reminds me of an eighties movie title...can't think of it), but I actually am curious to hear what this is if you can record it. Or have you sorted it out now?

As for yellowfever's opinion of the tribe's; As far as the sound, you either like it or you don't. I do. h**l, Angus loves his and from what I've gathered he's not short on sound sources. But even if you do hate the sounds, I'd love to hear an argument against the sequencers. I doubt you'd sniff at a DRM1, and mine would be very lonely without my er to sequence it. :wink:
Now I just really want an ea to control an mks-70. I don't have either yet, but I dream about this combo.

I have an MKS-70, cool machine certainly, and I'll never get rid of it, but the envelopes are a wee bit slow for funky rhythms or beats. It can be sequenced nicely though (although its sysex doesn't recognize patch changes, portamento, etc.) I think its one of the best string and pad synths around.

I usually use Cakewalk to sequence it, or this whacked 16 step sequencer:

But doesn't that blow the whole argument out the water? You buy a drum synth just to sequence another drum synth? Personal taste mate; if you love it, then fair play to you. I don't :wink:
Cubase sequences my drum machines :D

Drop Dead Fred?

:shock:
All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention. I believe that someone should become a person like other people.

that can be arranged if need be.

posting asinine opinion in threads seeking help is crass as h**l.
Brains can be used like a "stress ball," but only once.
