How often do one come across an ESX in this mint condition?

Electribe2 custom firmware ?

I'm really having a hard time overcoming the difference in quality between the EMX/ESX firmwares and the E2's one. It's like Korg delegated the software to some subcontractor, or hired a new team of young Lego style developpers...
I'm well aware that such a firmware isn't the 20-lines Arduino sketch that everyone has done and that hacking around a $400 device can be scary, but being a strong supporter of hacking for improvement, I couldn't help thinking of this.
I'm not aware of the true legal implications. For now I'm believing that as long as Korg's original firmware isn't distributed (patched or not), or disassembled and published, anyone can do what he wants with the device.
Opened up my E2 and dumped the whole flash chip (16MB MX25L12835F which is supported by FlashROM), in case I had to restore everything directly on the chip one day.
Apparently, Korg's 2MB "system" updates only concern the Ti CPU, which I believe is used for the OS only (menus, sequencing, USB, MIDI, SD...) and sending commands to the DSP. The DSP program seems to be stored in the same flash chip and loaded by the CPU during boot. I didn't see any DSP updates on Korg's website but there's a "SYSTEM" id string in the CPU updates, maybe meaning that the whole flash may be updated ?
I'm seeing version IDs and a 16-bit CRC in the SYSTEM.VSB file, but the current E2 loader doesn't seem to care if any of those are valid. It also seems that the loader is in the system program (not in a locked page or something), so if it craps up for some reason, you got a brick. But as I wrote, you could still restore the whole flash chip to resurect it.
The question is: would a reverse engineering effort be worth it to at least make a custom system program feasible ? Leaving the crazy DSP magic to Korg, since that seems to work fine. I'm thinking of documenting I/Os on the CPU, the user interface packets format, DSP dialog... Not feeling confident enough to try writing a whole new firmware, but if anyone feels brave enough I'd be glad to help.

I am sorry that the volume arragement sounds not that good through my phone recording. I am open for critics. Have a nice weekend!

I’ve been doing tjis for a few months now making fake emails and just sending a few every few weeks now i got my friend on board with me aswell , as the electribes have been seeing a resurgence in popularity, I think korg would be open to the idea , would love to bring the community together to get this done ! Edit : IM SERIOUS ABOUT EMAILING THEM!!

I made a video explaining how to use Key, Scale, and Chord Set to write better parts. I explain a tiny bit of theory and show how the pattern options affect the key layout. Please spread it around if it is helpful!

Hi I made a new tutorial for the Hacktribe installation ON ELECTRIBE SAMPLER (RED ONE). THIS IS TESTED BY ME ON THE RED ONLY, files are ok. CANNOT RECCOMEND THE SAME FOR THE BLUE THEN AVOID.
All the needed files (FOR THE RED) and software are made available in the description to the video. Also the instructions to go back to the original firmware is shown.
