your post explains how to map the knobs on electribes to cc's in live, thats not what i was asking..

how do you mean? any electribe plugged into LIve is a midi step sequencer, or have i missed your point?

for instance 16 clips in live, and if one of the 16 pads is on , on the korg that clip would be triggered in appropriate sequence

thats about 10 seconds work, im sure im still misunderstanding.

midi map mode, highlight the clip, press the step button on the electribe, repeat 16 times, job done?

i'll rejigg a few cables and give it a go

Using Live pretty much like mixing desk with them.

I also try using midi from live to play sequences which works fine but havent figured out how to control all settings from live

if any one has made step sequencer type template for live with these it be good to see

i use my EA and ER-1 MKi mainly as a 'step sequencer' i usually create patterns / sequences with them and then record the midi info with a plug-in synth sound into ableton. works brilliant and i like to use buttons and knobs instead of a mouse to draw notes into a matrix sequencer.

So far all I've used my ER-1 mkII for is sequencing AudioRealism's DrumMachine. Using the ER-1 for sequencing and a Bitstream Pro for the knobs, I've more or less got a 909, 808, 606, etc. Not exactly the same I know, but since I don't want to buy another 909 again for the little I'd use it it works.

I'm going to check out this technique though. Always good to find more uses for hardware.

Using midi pipe and the values from here:

http://www.korg.com/downloads/pdf/eaermidicc.pdf

I've mapped on os x the ea1 to bassline, so guess drummachine would be same

I also posted a lil' tutorial in tips &tricks on how to do this for free on the Mac...

quick question
i'm using EA1 to control bassline , but cant find a way of setting accents at note level, i am using velocity plug and distort button for accent on and off, anyone got any ideas how to get velocity above 100 on a note level for a chosen note

Lets keep this thread alive....i love my electribe as a controller/sequencer into able.

thanks for that, what's best OS X equivalent of these?

on pc... but I think a prog called 'controlAid'

im not sure of how to it on a mac sorry.

on mac use midi pipe to convert nnrpm to cc's

For those of you using Electribes as a sequencer for Ableton Live, is anyone able to use the Part Mute or the Solo buttons on the Electribes to control Mute and Solo in Live in the same way you can within Electribes?

So, for example, hold Part Mute button and press any Part button to mute each part, and hold Solo and press any Part to Solo and then press Solo again to unsolo/unmute all parts. The Mute/Solo aspect of hardware sequencers like Electribes are what makes them essential for live performance. Can this be done when controlling Live?

Nice. Are you guys also syncing the tempo with Ableton via midi? If so, what do you set as the master sequencer, the Electribe or Ableton?

I use Ableton as the master tempo. It sends MIDI out to my electrbe controller and also my microkorg synth. Everything syncs up perfect. Any other questions let me know.
