 ====== Korg Electribe ES-1 ======

+Cool sampler and sequencer. Comes with lots of sounds, patterns, and songs built-in, and it's pretty fun just messing with those, or replacing the samples and hearing the existing patterns with new sounds.
 ==== Loading Samples ====

   * Files need to be named in order, EG: 00.WAV 01.WAV 02.WAV 03.WAV 04.WAV (extension can be upper- or lowercase)
   * 100 files max in the root directory. Dunno about using subdirectories.
-    * Practical workflow see to be grab a bunch of samples you want to keep together, load them onto the ES-1, then save them as a bank (.ES1 file) back onto the card. This way you can store much more. Banks could be for individual songs (though it takes a while to load a new one, not useful for live performance), based on a theme, etc. Then you can load/unload full banks as you want them.
+    * You don't need to keep you samples here, it's more a temp space as you'll move the individual samples into sets/banks and save those onto the card.

+  * 8- or 16-bit, 32KHz. .WAV or .AIFF. If you use a rate other than 32KHz playback speed will be distorted.

-  * 8- or 16-bit, 32KHz. .WAV or .AIFF. If you use a rate other than 32KHz playback speed will change.
   * You can format the card in the ES-1. It's [[wp>File_Allocation_Table#FAT12|FAT-12]].
-  * If you get ''Er.3'' that means you're out of space.

+    * Actual sample space seems to be ~2.2MiB in my experience.
+  * You have to load each sample one-by-one!
+=== Renaming ===
+I use [[wp>GPRename]], which I have hooked into my file manager, so I can select a directory and launch it.
+  - Go to the 'Numerical' tab
+  - Set 'Add numbers starting at' to '0'
+  - Make sure 'increment by' is '1' (should be default)
+  - 'and after' field needs to have your file extension; so '.wav'
+  - Make sure 'Keep existing names' is set to 'No' (should be default)
+  - Hit 'Preview' to make sure things look right, then hit 'Rename' if they do.
+It'd be nice to script the whole renaming and converting process, so I'll add a command line renaming guide at some point maybe.
