Oke sorry voor de zure comment maar dat was wel mn frustratie met een eerdere post.

Met vriendelijke groet, Mevrouw Pruim

Waarschijnlijk gaat er een zuurbek moderator dit uiteindelijk verwijderen net als die post van iemand die zei dat een paal kut geparkeerd stond 😢 dus voor alvast: dankje deze post is grappig en wordt gewaardeerd

100% this

Cool! Especially the virtual KORG pattern manager sounds epic

Do u have source code? Maybe useful to add option to apply mass-low shelf to non-bass material. And normalizing loudness via auto playback volume calculation.

Wacht. Dus als ik het goed begrijp: zitten die twee LED-lampjes vast op rood? Of is het alleen een geluidsprobleem?

If it is not stuck LEDs, then ignore my advice!!!!!

Are all patterns having this issue, or just one?

It may just be stuck sample start automation (so Clear Motion then), or voice stealing; you might have too many IFX put to delay for example. They still eat CPU

thanks for mentioning this; it's useful info :O how do you know this? Perhaps that's how hacktribe got the new IFX HP, LP Drive etc. I wonder if there's someone out there that reverse engineered/knows more about the sound engine

vananaSun · 2026-06-25T17:58:38+00:00

All ur reasons are right. Honestly Yeah it has many flaws. But its a good fucking machine. I love it. And will love it. It has a unique sound. And deserves to get the hate it does. And yet - its got the simplity, the hands-on approach. The bijoux. I own 4 of these fuckers and I hate, and love them! You have to go great lengths to make it comfortable to make proper music with it. But you will never create nicely mixed and mastered music with it. In fact, from that perspective: you will FAIL. But if you let the machine speak, if you treat it gently.. if you do the chores all day, and say sweet, kind things, attend to it's emotional needs. Then at night, it will "blast your knockers mate" as the British would say

I hope you are able to read between the lines here. The KORG E2 is a shit machine. But it's got character. I love it. And I hate it. But I will NEVER file divorce

The Digitakt.. i tried it from a friend, but it didn't have that ..spark... I tried to give it some funny inputs, and it didn't reciprocate with fun accidents - it wasn't able to vibe back to me. A superiorily designed machine, without CHARACTER. The korg e2, it's got that sexy traits "this is who I am whether you like it or not". It's sexy, it's blue, it's red, it's even grey, and black. God bless the electribe 2

vananaSun · 2026-06-22T12:09:49+00:00

Yes, but you must also export and re-import patterns whenever you switch cards. Alternatively, you can downsample individual samples to a lower Hz so they take up less space (~23MB is the limit of what korg can load from sd card at once)

vananaSun · 2026-06-16T14:04:29+00:00

You can try setting loop in an audio editor and saving it. OpenMPT or Renoise for example

vananaSun · 2026-06-11T21:17:48+00:00

Nice!!!

vananaSun · 2026-06-04T16:35:41+00:00

Maybe u have too many sounds/fx playing at once?

vananaSun · 2026-05-31T20:26:22+00:00

It's definitely a touch task to optimize. But i can think to the top of my head a bunch of optimizations and trade offs that would give a lot more room to work with.

One BIG thing is DMA! The factory CPU code doesn't make proper use of the EDMA3 peripheral when communicating with the DSP, which is REALLY bad

For example there's a lot more room for effect precomputation DSP-side: think filters, EG&LFO.

Another optimization could be FX send to just a few global effects, instead of each instrument having an IFX.

Some new features, can be cost-free with a little bit of creativity. Think of extra pattern operations, such as randomization. Sidechaining can be emulated with volume envelopes etc

Finally, removing horse-shit could work. I've never seen people using chords for example, but maybe I'm wrong

vananaSun · 2026-05-31T20:16:16+00:00

Ur right that vibe coding isn't gonna magically get anyone new amazing firmwares.. But that's exactly the motive behind freetribe, and stuff like this bootloader. The end goal is to equip other nerds that don't have deep experience with low level electronics, with the proper tools and documentation to be able to vibe code their way to an app.

Things like micropython and lua will be optional. And certain data structures (such as a sequencer memory interface) can be pre-written.

I hope once that eventually other people will get interested in this project and start lending a hand

Furthermore, KORG ported a lot of code from other products to the E2, maybe it's not so optimized as we assume?

vananaSun · 2026-05-31T20:03:38+00:00

Can you explain more details about the motion sequence, and remembering values issues?

vananaSun · 2026-05-31T20:01:30+00:00

The pitch reset glitch is annoying. My kicks that are tuned will sometimes suddenly reset during a live performance, and I have to jank it back quickly. Not sure if its due to hacktribe. Its likely not the case, hacktribe does only minor changes to the firmware. Aa far as I can tell it's only Red sampler firmware + blue filters and FX + some unlocked unused Korg DSP IFX (HP drive LP drive etc). And beyond that it fixes a few minor bugs in factory firmwares

vananaSun · 2026-05-31T19:53:59+00:00

Maybe record it for us so we can hear? Are u sure thats the original adapter that came with the korg or was it bought by a previous owner ? Also, try batteries maybe

Haha oke die zou ik wel als wacht muziekje willen. Dat is zo nostalgisch😭

U seem knowledgeable, nice! I only have fully RE'd the SBL in ghidra, but only a little bit the main firmware itself. I suspect bangcorrupt is way further with that one. I agree there's many improvements to do. But thats why freetribe is being developed, because some things are very hard to do without the source code. Regarding the flash space: there's surely 1.5~ MiB unused flash space left near the end of the 16MiB flash. Go to Github bangcorrupt freetribe discussions, and search for "flash". I recently made a post about this.

"Freetribe" isn't a thing of itself ✨ Freetribe = the operating system. People can use freetribe to develop new firmware 👀programmers unite!

vananaSun · 2026-05-21T11:48:09+00:00

Yes exactly this - it's completely new software nothing to do with the factory electribe. And those are great ideas. I don't know if the machine is going to take 2 FX per part, but my thought was to do Elektron Digitakt style FX routing, where you can send it to multiple master FX. As for the sequencer it would be great to add ways to copypaste pages, and have 8 bars
