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.killedaway wrote: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.

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.fogfarm wrote: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?

I hope you get your problem fixed though, I've just got such a dislike for them machines
Re: Sync Issues with EA-1, EA-MKII, ER-1 electribes
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.yellowfever wrote:Do yourself a favour and get shot of them! As I've said many a time - they're c**p in my humble opinion.

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?yellowfever wrote:Do yourself a favour and get shot of them! As I've said many a time - they're c**p in my humble opinion.

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.
Now I just really want an ea to control an mks-70. I don't have either yet, but I dream about this combo.
Whenever people agree with me I tend to feel I must be wrong.

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.primative wrote:Now I just really want an ea to control an mks-70.

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

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.

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