RE: More octatrack "looping" kind of stuff...



Do this kind of loopy type things i have one track set as a "though" machine to which i also apply effects, in this case a LOT of delay... I have on track with a trigg sampling from input which will play what is send to the input put i can put triggless trigs and other manipulation that i cant do on an "through" machine, so the machine i flex and it is recording and plying back with a bit of latency (a bug that will be fix, you can control latency with "micro timing", i want a slight delay, to this machine i sometimes have triggless trigs that pitch shifts (the pitch shifting is not necessarily chromatic, it is -12 to place +12 steps with out with no fixed steps, i can map this to scenes, which i have done in this clip, to have sliding pitch shifts available on the cross-fader. Track 8 is master an is used to apply, in this case, a reverb to all tracks. All other tracks are Flex Machines to which i sample my live playing. Until next OS release I need to press record and track to record, it's not great for live looping. On most of these sampling track i apply some "stuff" effects, different start points. sequencer re-triggs, reverse, pitch shift.. the works... 
I sort of set up some start parameters en then i tweak while playing to go with the flow. 

Cheers,

Anders

hello Anders,

sounds like you are enjoying the octotrack. most curious to hear what you are doing with it as you discover the possibilities. How do you set up the live looping for now?

Antony

Again having FUN with the Elektron Octatrack, an amazing little instrument! So again no real amp, just a V-stack Tweedy and my Soloway Swan with lollar minihums and I'm actually using the NECK pickup a lot... not sure what to call the "music" style... perhaps crazy... 
This machine as a lot of limitations as a looper, in this OS, but it does things normal looper don't, eight separate channels, sequencer, great effects (that can be triggered by sequencer), 2 LFO's for EACH channel that can control, pitch, AMP that, together with Chorus, makes a guitar loop sound like a B3 on acid... IT'S FUN!!!

As for the octa.. one through machine, one flex with a trig record the rest are flex tracks sampled live... some scene mapping (the crazy pitch shift in the begning for example), trigless trigs. ALL effects are the octa NOTHING added in the mix

Feedback and questions are welcome

Enjoy ? Anders
