THANKS!! Typically when i mix live sounds/sampling/looping with samples i first chose the samples i need, i MIGHT 8such as in this case) to some sequencing so create a beat. but o may also to that live. And i typically prepare or reuse setting some earlier improvisation so that what i do is sometimes a part of a bigger evolutionary process. Related to the video you link to it is very possible, and a part of what I do, to trigger and play samples and loops live by using the trigg buttons on the Octa and/or exteranal keyboards.. however the octa ha no velocity like a typicality MPC or an ad controlling sample trigging in abelton. BUT the octa excels at live manipulation of samples, both by the inbuilt effects and by slicing, re-trigger, pitch-shifts, rate shifts, envelope control, filters, freeze delays.. On the Octa track you have something called "machines" there is a looper machine, called "pickup machine", which is for a typical boomerang type of use, record loop, it replays and loops (and the BPM can be synced to this a loop), you can reverse, overdub, replace and multiply a loop. So it's basically a looper with acesses to great effects and it is also able to loop from other track on the Octatrack. So if you record and overdub on one "pickup machine" where you record and overdub+add effects you can record the output of thar (together with new input if you want) to a new loop, perhaps.. The you have the more sample style recording used with what is called a "flex machine" with this you can record samples either freely or triggered by a sequencer step. You can overdub by letting it record from one ore more external sources + it self a internal source. then you can also save and re-use a sample later. And you can of course export and import samples with you computer. So in your senario you cold for example use a "flex machine" to record one sound of a vocal perfoemace. It could be a word or som beat box like sound. So if you make a bass drum sund you can record that then instantly repllay it and enter a sequence of. Either by inputting on which step you want it to replay or by "live recording" to the sequencer. Then you can do the same with a snare sound. You can sing a nice vowel and create a melody with it by plying it chromatically.. and in this way you should be able to build an entire perfoemnce by mixing the sample recoding and sequencing with more traditional looping. So another way to du basically the same thin is the record a vocal beat box loop, let BPM sync to that, and over dub it with a pickup machine. Yon resample that an chop it up by slicing or you can sample part of the loop to other flex machines and create patterns on the squencer.

@ Anders: I like your track :) I can suppose there was a previous thinking and rehearsing? I mean, that can't be 100% jam/improvisation, right? And, did you have prerecorded samples or all the sounds are created in real time? In this moment as you can see on my link with my experiments few mails ago, I also do some slow loops. And I will always do. But I also would like things a bit more like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y4bZaLMsIQ&feature=related Ok, not LIKE this, because I would create my own samples in real time on stage, and I will use a lot my voice for that. Still, yes, I am obsessed with techno/minimal/electro in this moment. And, believe me, you can NOT do that with a Boomerang. About the OT, can you please be a bit more specific about "looper and recorder"? Recorder is a function of the Octa or an external tool? I have not clear this of re-sampling to a recorder to trig the loop on the sequencer. Thanks |
