Nou ik ben er al uit maar voor degene die met het zelfde probleem zitten en of een electribe willen gebruiken als hardware stepsequencer in Ableton live of Cubase of whatever hier is de uitleg:

Oh I found out a way in the ableton forum no worries !
——————-
its really easy, just takes a while to get all the pieces.
I have successfully mapped every knob and button on my KORG ES1 mkII to ableton to use as a sequencer/controller.
First things first, the only buttons that will work right after you hook it up to ableton are the part keys.(i.e. where you samples are arrnaged and selected on the korg) all the other knobs and faders will not.
These knobs and faders do send information. If you havn’t tried already, try to midi map a knob into ableton. Any knob will send a CC# (controller change) normally either 6/….or98/, followed by some more information…. these are useless without being properly translated, and in reality are NRPN(
Step 1 = Get MIDI-OX and MIDI Yoke installed on your computer. Detailed instructions can be found at midiox.com.
Step 2 = After these programs have been installed, hook up your electribe to your computer via your MIDI connection.
Step 3 = Open up MIDIOX, and go to options at the top, click on MIDI devices. You should see your input MIDI device on the list. Select your IN device and then select and OUT device(a MIDI YOKE channel). We have setup a kind of translation bay. NRPN will come in on the INPUT, translated, spit back OUT immediately on the OUTPUT. Close this list.
Step 4 = Open up a input and output monitor in MIDI-OX, if all is connected properly you should see the input start scrolling. I came to believe this is my korgs timeclock. Now the fun begins.
Step 5 = Click on view>MIDI status..this will open up a sort map. Move a knob on your electribe and look in this map. a NRPN # and min-maxrange will show up. The range is almost 99% always 0-16256. Ok so we now have the NRPN # and range for one of your knobs, write these down, i swear it will help.
Step 6 = Now, with this information we can start translating this knobs NRPN to a usable CC signal. Click options and then data mapping. This will open up a translation map. Nothing should be checked in here except, (TURN MAP ON). Click on insert.
Step 7 = After clicking insert it will bring up Define Mapping window. Do as follows
WHEN INPUT MATCHES
Channel=Any Event=NRPN Min1=NRPN # Max1
same NRPN as before) Min2=0 Max2=16256
WHEN OUTPUT MATCHES
Channel=Any Event=Controller Change Min1=AnyCC you want 1-97(excluding 6,98, and the channel you are sending on) Max1=the same CC as Min1 Min2=0 Max2=127
Click ok.
Step 8 = to check move the knob, make sure you are still getting chages on the input monitor. ( the turn map on after ok button) had to be checked or the data mapping will no be turned on. We have now taken a unusable NRPN and converted it to a usable CC.
Last step is to open Ableton and setup your MIDI options to recieve on all channels. You also have to go into the MIDI options and on whatever MIDI yoke channel you used( i used 1) make sure the sync and remote keys are solid. Now, turn midi mapping on, click on a parameter and move your knob. If all went well it will show up as whatever CC you assigned it. Have fun.
On my ES1 mkII I have 8 sample parts. Each on of these parts is assigned to a part in IMPULSE. If i have part 1 selected i have knobs for everything, time,decay,start,vol,drive,filter……all of these are just for the kick…..i select my part 2 button on my korg(which makes all my knobs send different NRPN when selected) and i have the same control over part 2.
Basically it turned impulse into a bad ass because i can eff up each hit respectively. I"
