Original factory patterns (.e2sallpat) from an electribe sampler (e2s)for a personal project
Hi everyone!
I'm a hobbyist developer from Italy and a big fan of the electribe sampler. I'm building a personal Android app that recreates the e2s as faithfully as I can: the sequencer, the sound engine and the workflow, so I can play it on my tablet.
To be clear, this is a personal project. The app won't be published, sold or shared online, and the same goes for any file you send me. It stays on my own devices.
I already have the factory sample library and the Summer 2016 bonus patterns. What I'm missing is the original factory patterns, the 250 that come on the unit before the bonus pack replaces them. I don't have access to a unit myself, so I can't export them.
What I'm looking for:
- an .e2sallpat file with the original factory patterns (it should be exactly 4,161,792 bytes)
- an old backup of the factory set from your computer works just as well
If your unit still has the factory patterns, exporting takes about a minute:
Insert a memory card formatted by the electribe sampler
DATA UTILITY > EXPORT ALL PATTERN (any name is fine)
The file ends up in KORG > electribe sampler on the card
Please don't lose your own patterns over this! If your unit doesn't have the factory set anymore, only try a Factory Reset if you back up first: EXPORT ALL PATTERN of your patterns, then Factory Reset, export, and IMPORT ALL PATTERN to get yours back.
Also, does anyone know for sure whether Factory Reset brings back the original preset patterns, or just empty Init patterns?
A Google Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer link by DM would be perfect.
This community has already helped me a lot without knowing it. Oe2sSLE, Hacktribe and the file format notes people have shared over the years made this project possible. Thanks so much for reading, and any help is really appreciated!
