No doubts, that's kind of what that thing was designed for! But I
didn't know the the Octatrack allows you to set pitch glissando -
that's cool! With the Repeater the glissandi just happened because its
CPU was constantly lagging behind in calculations . LOL!!! But it
sounded cool. I'd like to note too that these techniques can be used
on a laptop looping system as well; especially if using Augustus Loop
because this one has the parameter named "Inertia" that causes
glissando when you play the loops speed/pitch by external MIDI notes
(MIDI guitar, EWI, keyboard, seqyencer or whatever...). If looping in
Mobius this is also possible but you can't have glissando between the
notes in the pattern. However, I kind of like the rough'n'glitchy
sound of that too.

A related software plugin is the StutterEdit, designed by BT and
distributed by http://izotope.com/. I've recently started to use
StutterEdit after the looper in the signal chain and it amazes me with
almost no detectable extra CPU usage on my machine. One exciting idea
I have for StutterEdit is to load it with my own scripts that does
tonal warping rather than that typical "glitched drum beat thing" we
have heard for a decade now. Not sure if that is possible yet though
and my researching time is kind of limited so this is a long time
project.
