    gah gagging for the weekend.. got another beatretreat happening this weekend.. was up late last night configuring the Octatrack to try doing a bunch of new things.. after almost 10 years of owning one i have finally started using it as a sampler to actually sample things.. instead of just playback..
    kind of got to a good place with it.. basically mapped the launch control XL to run it and have set it up in a way which its basically all just for sampling..
    3 channels for direct sampling (thinking TV, digitakt and maybe the Virus snow) and then 4 other tracks set up to sample the inputs from the CUE of each of the other 3 ..

    basically sample some half bar of random TV, then send that to the CUE output which is then fed into the Patchulator with some effects so i can mangle the sample and then resample that back in

    got the sample trigger set to a button so i can just trigger directly from the controller.

    am thinking then I will run that Octatrack into a second Octatrack for recording longer phrases of the first samples.. but also as way to mess around making things offline without running that into the main mix as its all done live so need a way to cut the signal without accessing the mixer.

    its probably totally overkill but was falling down the rabbit hole last night with some of the most simple sounds going through the effects with some good results.

    over engineered, probably.. but worth it

    • had fun, was perhaps a bit ambitious to run double octatrack.. had weird inconsistencies between the 2 machines even tho had same project filesautoflavour
    • also had too much other shit in my mind from the last weeks and work insecurity to really be able to relax into it.. was fun, but yepautoflavour
