That's a really cool technique that I had in mind for years before
finally finding a way make it happen. My idea is to sample one note
and instantly have that note played back by a step sequencer as a
chord arpeggio. Then I use foot pedals to change pattern in the
sequencer to move through any chord change vamp while playing along.
Typically I use one pedal to sample a note and nine pedals for
different chords/sequence patterns/arpeggios. This was quite quirky to
set up in software and I assume it would be easier with the Octa.
