I got my first music theory lessons at the age of 10. I am now 58 and still don't get it. I play around with music software and hardware for decades but this part of the hobby always shuts off my brain. Your video did help me, so thanks, but why is this so hard to grasp when I clearly understand so many other topics?

so this has a amp envelope but no filter envelope? and no way to decay reverb?

Thank you for this video! Which exact settings did you make in helix? For example, for a footswitch I entered in command center cc 36 for Track1 (in Octatrack) and the auto channel in the global settings. Nothing happens. Is there any special trick?
@easytiger14528 күн бұрын
oh I see what happened here. To trigger tracks you need to send MIDI notes to the auto channel and not CCs (the 36 here refers to a note number, not a CC). So set the type of message for the footswitch to midi note and then send a C2 for example to trigger audio track 1. Of course you can also assign CC values to the footswitches. This will then just change the corresponding parameters on the octatrack. CC36 for example will change FX1 parameter 3. Hope this helps, glad you liked the vid!

One handy thing i discovered from a Ron Cavagnaro vid is that if you create a new synth from the song view (rather than a row in a kit), you can save these synths as discrete presets, which you can then quickly load into kits. Saves you from having to start each sound from scratch, especially if youre making a few sounds that only differ in decay or pitch, like hats or toms

Great vid. Probably a silly question, but why do you assign all tracks to the Microfreak (don't own an Octa, so no idea if there's any technical demand for it)? If I have 2 or more synths that I want to sequence, can I assign CCs to them on different channels? If yes, are there any limitations in this compared to assigning all tracks to only one channel/one synth?
@easytiger1452Ай бұрын
Good question. I do it this way here because I only have the microfreak connected here anyways. Of course you can assign all 8 midi tracks to different channels and control 8 different instruments at the same time. There are no limitations other than the number of notes per track (4) and the number of lfos, assignable CCs, etc. When you're using multiple tracks with the same channel you get more of those, but at the same time you have to be aware of conflicts that might occur when you're trying to control the same parameter with multiple tracks. So there's advantages to both and which one's better really depends on the particular demands of your setup.

I'm always excited when I see a new video from you! I've never used the MIDI function or the Arp on the Octatrack before, but your videos have inspired me to experiment with them. I'm glad to hear there will be more content on this topic. Thank you!

Cool, very glad to hear that. I too did not use the MIDI stuff at all for quite a long time. Then I gave it a try and have now come to appreciate it a lot.

Great vid. Always something new to learn. Never considered to get a non-bipolar shape with the “Half”

Thanks! Yeah, I think in this case a unipolar lfo makes things a bit easier because you at least get to choose where your arp's gonna start.

The volca keys is irreplaceable. Keep it and play with it as it ages - the tuning becomes more unstable as auto tuning struggles to stay in range and your keys will develop its own unique characteristics.
