I see that Arturia have released a new TB-303 software emulation called Acid V. I’m just downloading the demo now! Interested to see how it holds up against AudioRealism’s Bassline 3. Anyone tried it yet? Thoughts?

Import this backup file to your Korg Electribe 2 (Grey/Blue) to install the Hacktribe Firmware Hack. This will give your regular electribe 2 the sampling capabilities (from the electribe 2 sampler), more IFX, grooves, and scales, and an expanded MIDI implementation. Make sure your electribe 2 is on firmware version 2.02 before installing the backup. If you pefer, you can perform the firmware hack yourself and generate your own backup file using the instructions on the Hacktribe GitHub page.
Note: If you want to install the Hacktribe Firmware on your Korg Electribe 2 Sampler…Read More

Hey Char – I’d like to confirm have you heard of others using this method to update the blue Electribe? Seems to me that if it was successful for you it would be successful for anyone? (provided the exact same steps were taken)

I’ve not had any feedback from anyone. Did you try it in the end?

I just bought a second hand electribe 2 that has the Hacktribe firmware preinstalled. Do you know if you can perform a factory reset without losing the additional features?

The Oxi One is probably the best MIDI controller I’ve ever used! I plan on making some video tutorials and recording some jams soon so will post them here!

I just bought an electribe 2 on eBay to use with my Oxi One. This will be the third time I’ve had one, both were sold previously as I couldn’t stand using the crappy sequencer. But after recently picking up an Oxi One MIDI Sequencer I figured they’d make a great pair. Basically just using the electribe as a sound module with the Oxi controlling everything. Both are battery powered and have TRS Type A MIDI ports so I should just be able to connect them with a single 3.5mm audio cable for MIDI. Should be a fun combo. I’ll let you know how I get on and maybe post some videos!

Hello all, I have an issue with my new sh-4d that I’m curious whether it’s an unique issue to my particular device or is common to others…
If I power my device to a powered USB computer hub or direct to the computer in any combination I can hear a grounding hum – the only option I’ve found that I can get the hum to disappear is to power the sh-4d with batteries or a USB power bank… which is fine, but when I’m working with the sh-4d in the studio, it would be better to power it with a constant electrical source which I have not figured out how to do without the hum which shows up…Read More4 Comments-

This is a common issue on many of Roland’s USB powered synths. AFAIK, you could try a USB isolator cable, or use a separate USB power supply like a phone charger to power the SH-4d, and use DIN MIDI instead of USB.

Yes it’s a common problem when powering synths from the PC USB port. I have experienced it with my Roland SH-4d and T-8, and the Uno Synth Pro. As @kpatzsc said, it’s best to power separately if you can. I’ve also seen people recommend using a USB isolator so maybe worth having a look at something like this… https://hifimediy.com/product/usb-isolator/

Polyend have released the Tracker Mini. Looks cute. No pads or jog wheel, but has more sample RAM and bigger CPU, and can handle stereo samples. I’m interested but it’s $700 (same price as the desktop version) which honestly seems a bit pricey to me.

I have the regular Tracker, which is great, although I don’t use it much. I’d consider the handheld version but the button layout looks awkward. I think I’ll wait and see some user feedback. I agree it’s also rather expensive for what it is.

Shame they couldn’t have included some of the pads for note input

He didn’t actually seem to be all that impressed with the Tracker Mini, but nice to have some more demos finally. Seems like it’s been a long wait on this one. I do agree with what he says about the filter. I don’t know what it is about the Tracker but I never think it sounds that good when used with my other gear.

I’ve created a template (backup/restore file) that will make the SH-4d behave more like a groovebox when saving Patterns.
For the first 32 patterns, I’ve saved (and pre-mapped) an INIT preset for each Tone Part 1-4, as well as a default TR-909 Rhythm Kit.
You can now select a pattern (01-32), create your synth and drum parts, and then save the Pattern (using OVERWRITE) and, if you’re designing your own sounds while creating patterns, there’s now no need to rename everything as I’ve already done it for you!
The remaining 96 patterns have been left empty, so you can use these for…Read More

Here is a link to the manual showing how to install the template file. Follow the instructions for “Restore” using the provided SH4d.SVD file.

Alex, I can’t help to ask… what are you using as an editor/librarian for the .svd file? I understand that this is a file format that Roland uses for some of their synths – I couldn’t see any librarian/editor for the SH-4D … would be nice if we see one in the future… anyhow, just curious…

I didn’t use an editor, I created and renamed everything on the SH-4d and exported a backup. Didn’t take too long once I got into the flow.

I had a play around with it and thought it was really good. Not sure I’d buy it though as I already have several other VST TB-303 clones and, if I’m honest, these days you can get a hardware clone for the same price.
