Octatrack 1.2 -- a new looper

["Andrew Koenig" <ark@acm.org>]

Elektron today announced version 1.2 of their Octatrack operating system.
Among its many new features is the ability to use it as a looper:  Any one
of its eight tracks can be assigned a "Pickup machine," which allows
real-time recording, playback, and overdubbing.

When you've recorded a loop for the first time on a pickup machine, you can
make that loop the tempo master, which means that all of the other tracks
will be time-stretched to play in sync with it.  That lets you, for 
example,
record a loop with a live instrument, then later bring in a drum track in
perfect sync with what you just recorded.
