For the people who want to get full control over their electribe esx: I wrote some scripts which I'd like to share with you. Here a small demonstration (warning: european english is used). My iphone didnt have enough diskspace, hence the sudden ending of the demonstration :)

its so simple its ridiculious :) with this technique you can have two samples/loops sitting on one part/channel. Gives your esx a new dimension doesnt it? Btw. this trick can also be accomplished on the ESX by just pressing shift-record (resample) and hitting two partbuttons (the 2nd should have reversed toggled on).
DISCLAIMER: my english is experimental (just like my music) :) just found out a trick to easily switch between 3 audiosources: your arrangement + 2 chaos parts. This is a simple example, but you could use this technique to do crazy skrillex/dubstep 'switch'-stuff (you could for example switch between 3 dubstep/glitchgrooves). Btw. the video ends pretty abrupt because my iphone fell down because the sounds were just too funky for my iphone. :D (Im using stretchparts in the example, but it could be anything) preparation ======== 1) put crazy stuff on stretchparts 1 & 2 2) trigger every note on stretchparts 1 & 2 (else sometimes sounds arent triggered) 3) unmute everything, but mute the stretchparts 4) save the pattern performance ========= 1) breath, relax and think about pink elephants :) 2) find out if your current pattern has all notes triggered on stretchpart 1 & 2 (shift stretchpart 1 or 2) 2) if so, you know your pattern is 'triple-crossfade'-compatible 3) at the end of the beat, solo stretchpart 1 or 2 4) quickly hold shift, and press the pattern button at the beginning of the beat now the pattern button is flashing, you are in triple-crossfade-mode now :) 5) while holding shift with your left thumb, playfully press pattern, stretchpart 1 or stretchpart 2 in a cycling way. (And practice cool timings) Hope this helps. Big respect for danieklerr (Sauce) & Jeff (OpenElectribe). The ESX has much hidden areas which are to be explored. Lets put the skilllevel higher and higher! Its possibilities lies in the hand of its user. Don't fool yourself that this machine has low specs, the fun thing about this realtime 'mini-daw' is that many features can be accessed in realtime (and parallel!). The resampling feature literally enables unlimited possibilities, one groove gives birth to another, its almost a fractal. Oh yes, and you don't have to worry about midimappings,plugins,updates,latency..leave that for the computers :)

DISCLAIMER: my english is experimental (just like my music) :) here's a trick to do some clever sidechaining of certain parts, to prevent your tubes and audiostream from going berserk.Could be really handy for very aggresive house/electro/dubstep grooves.
