@ Kelly: Gerne, with pleasure :) I want to learn soon because I really wish to do something "real" with it (more than just experiments) as soon as possible :D We can share the info and videos which we are finding interesting. I also ask in Elektron Forums generally. As there is not ONE truth, I like to hear different experiences.
@ Mark: Super, those videos seem to be very interesting! But I think the guy should drink less coffee, he is too fast! :D But just with the first video with the LFO you can see a very nice use of the OT... For electribe you mean the ESX right? I have the EMX and still had no time to learn it. But nice to tweak the sounds. I wanted to sell it but I am keeping it just for these knobs :) I am not yet the right person to tell you if the OT is what you need, sorry. Still too new :) It's going slow man, too few time and too many friends. I have to say no all the time and stay home and close in my Room (the cons of living in a wonderful shared flat, you are never alone. Which is also the pro, considering the wonderful people I live with, but this is again also a cons, because it is so difficult to say no to them, ahaha!). I have sent a link time ago with the first experiments I did with the Boomerang. I can't wait to see what how a different gear will canalize my creativity. :) So I can see what's going on insede of me in this moment, what comes from the machines (and will change now) and what is mine/me (and will repeat now). :) We'll see.
Subject: Re: @Anders, for the OT (I make it public so that anybody can learn more about the OT) From: apacheci5@hotmail.com Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2012 12:39:23 -0600 To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com I have had an Ot for 6 months and only had about 4 hours to spend with it. I accidentally erased all of the demo sounds in it and have had a of a rough time loading my own sounds and using them. I watched the tutorials by octatrack and have had little result. I am interested in learning with u........ Kelly
Sent from my iPhone I'll just pipe in here Sergio, I went thru all these... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fICr_n5NgnI&list=UUL0xWyrKvKkZkvXesqHLcow&feature=plcp
...at the weekend, and it was probably usefull IF I HAD an OT sat there in front of me, which I dont! Im very much interested in joining you as one of the OT owners here, but have to sell stuff first and even then need to see if its really what I need. I want it PARTLY for the looping, but I do have 3 other loopers already. Im not looking for a replacement, but very interested in the triggering and morphin of params... IN COMBINATION with drum-machine style pre-prep stuff. If I can program some midi for external gear, even better... but its alot about HOW I can control this, and can I cut n paste between projects or spin things in, in synch, on the fly WITHOUT pre-prep. I THINK so, using the audio pool, with good foldering of samples it LOOKS like one can do everything without stopping the machine. (The main issue I have with Electribe actually.. that one cant record audio to a sample without stopping the drum-machine)
Love to hear how you get on... we expect a daily report here, with samples !!! ;-) Mark On Mon, Sep 10, 2012 at 12:48 PM, Sergio G <simpliflying@gmail.com> wrote:
Hello Anders! I have three questions for you! :) 1) do you know if there are trusty, reliable video tutorial about the OT, starting from ZERO (for who just opened the package), and with the new OS?
In Synthopia I saw a video which drove me CRAZY till I realized "damn, wait, maybe it was made with an old OS". It was IMPOSSIBLE to reproduce what he was doing... :) And it was indeed made with the first OS!
2) I see that the quick live usability could be a problem with all those menus and combinations of buttons. I wonder if it would not be possible to automatize some commands with a midi (foot or hand) controller, so that I can just push one button and the OT would execute a sequence of command without me having to open thousand menus.
3) Suppose that I have 4 tracks with 4 different samples, not too long, but not just one note. Something like "du-bi-da-bi-di-bu-pi-ram-pam-ta-ta-ta", just to say.
I want to be able to press the button corresponding to that track, and have the track playing only till I hold down the button. But I cannot. If I press one track button it will play till its end. I want to be able to play with the tracks very quickly, deciding how long must play each one.
But even if I use the mute function, then when I unmute it will not start from the beginning, and I want to start from the beginning! Is it possible?
