Thank you for making this, you are a great teacher. A great intro for anyone buying it for the first time. ELEKTRON should include this with the free compact flash card. Danke schön.

Just got my Octa Mk2, so this is Exactly my learning speed and what I need to get started. Plan on watching your other vids ASAP. Thank You!

What could be more natural? Techno was born in Germany and then was reborn there out of House after Detroit tried a takeover, not to mention Elektron is a German company. Props to Michael for a solid video. The Octatrack is one of those machines that's easier to use than explain. Its logic is there and eventually becomes "natural." It's just very different from its competitors.

Thanks to your little video I’ve finally managed to play long samples in 64 steps without having them being retriggered after 16 steps! It was just a matter of keeping the trig on the first page and deleting the trigs on the next pages. Thank you !

Thank you very much Dave, I like your feedback very much. Last year I had exactly the same question. I made a video which is pretty basic, just showing a list of functions in comparison to each other. kzread.info/dash/bejne/h36B26R7f72tf7Q.html I worked with both machines and can clearly state that Octatrack would be my first choice. Some say the sound is not as good as Digitakt, in fact I dont know. What I liked most was a real good sample pack including Loopmasters, more effects, better workflow (I like this T1-T8 trigs), CF-card, timestretch ( really useful). I would say today that Digitakt is good as a Drum-machine ( and its samples are 80% drum sounds) and Octatrack a real sample machine were you can work with loop samples/ complete melodies. - my personal view.

Nice! Been learning mine now for a while. A very complex deep machine. Love it. Nothing like sampling favorite anime and movie clips and phone calls and chopping up into beats. The arranger is very powerful. I only wish that Elektron would bring Overbridge for it.r

Very nice tutorial, thx

Be sure to check out the 4 parts on the different preset patterns. (hold part button and press corresponding arrow key) It’s almost like 4 completely different jams for each pattern. Lots of good material in there that really shows off the capabilities of OT

Welcome to OT club. This is Elektron’s best brain and it will give you years of immense gratitude. I hv the AR Digitakt Digitone Despite not having the OT I feel the soul of this beast. I’m sure I will be as excited as you when I get it next.

How do you save a program all its sounds and tracks assigned so you can move onto creating a new song/project?

On the Octatrack, it's more common to have the crossfader on one side or the other. A little different than the way it's used in DJing. This is because you usually want an un-effected version on one side, and the added effects on the other. Of course, everything on the OT is up to individual preference.

Hi Algo; I could but whats the problem ?

Hey Hey! Well got one and have a question being that you have a similar background knowledge entering this process as myself. Is there a "clear all parts" to end up with an empty version but with all the parts like the 3 dot button enables on the Digitakt/Tone?

@MichaelKert

4 жыл бұрын

Hey Rustik, There are several Possibilities to Clear Parameters, Tracks, etc. Best is to google: Octatrack Clear Track or Octatrack Clear Parameter.

Please how did you copy the presets. I create a new set and project but the audio pool is empty what am i doing wrong

After the preparations and programming the missle has launched!!! I want to make music not launch rockets!

YES!!!! I knew this was Arnold Schwarzenegger this is his new hobby!! Elektron/Cyberdyne? He slips up at: 7:13 T1 = Terminator 1 😎 And 7:24 T2 = Terminator 2 😎 And so forth... 😎

That was the fastest hour ever 😂

Did the DT/DG knowledge translate over well to the Octatrack?

Hi Zem‘ , I don’t know the mentioned Roland, but you can send Midi and Audio data to Octatrack. Audio can be manipulated, I think this is your key question. Cheeres M.

per project you can address 128 flex samples slots & 128 static samples slots , or 128 x 64 slices flex samples slots & 128 x 64 slices static samples slots, so a maximum amount of 8192 samples x2 per project. read merlin's guide

So this is what the terminator has been up to since successfully wiping out John and Sarah conner from existence. Well he can't self terminate so why not Elektronate?

got one used and the card has no audio or loops. son of a bitch!
