Important: This Firmware update is not available for subscription at the moment.
Electribe Shaman Firmware update made MIDI Continuous Controller (CC) messages available for Electribe ER-1 owners a few years ago. The same functionality now becomes available to Electribe EM-1 owners as well. A brief overview of why’s and how’s (although in ER-1 context) is at this site:
http://electribe.cc/wp/2018/06/23/receive-cc/
During MIDI reception, both CC and NRPN messages are recognized. It is not recommended to mix them though (ie. try to receive both simultaneously) as that might confuse Electribe and result in some lost messages. However, transmission is only possible in either CC or NRPN format, and not both at the same time. To maintain compatibility with stock Electribes or custom software the choice between transmission mode can be made with a keystroke. Holding SHIFT and PATTERN SET keys while pressing STEP16 (PROTECT) brings up MIDI Format selection allowing one to dial the desired transmission mode (either CC or NRPN). The preferred mode can be made permanent with WRITE.
To put MIDI CC messages to use they must first be mapped to the knobs and buttons of the specific MIDI controller, surface, DAW etc. The list of MIDI CC messages introduced by Shaman Firmware and the corresponding original NRPN messages is here (H = Hex, D = Decimal).

This is excellent news. One of the major gripes about my own EM-1 is that although there once was a editor/librarian available for it, despite the librarian still available for download, there is no way to authorise it as Midiweb.de have gone awol. I hope this firmware modification will be useful in order to create another librarian/editor and open up this beast of a box (and to run on a Mac as well). Keep up the good work!
cool. please let me know when available.
Please let me know when the subs are open again – would love to get my ER1 CCing
wow, are there any news about this? i’d gladly pay for it!
Looking for this firmware!
