Elektron Octatrack cheap tricks: The synth inside your sampler

There´s a pretty capable synthesizer in your beloved sampler. You can record a sample, fuck it up with effects, a neighbor track and scenes. Then resample the shit and use a small portion of it like a single cycle waveform to play it chromatically like a synth. Voila, gnarly bass or frightening lead sound and everything inbetween is possible.
Feel free to ask questions...

Moral of the story is u can use it to make something out of absolutely nothing

excellent. thank you

When I play in chromatic mode, it quantized my steps-and I don’t want it to. I already disabled “quantize in live recording”...and made sure “Direct” was set on Personalize menu. Am I missing something?

[@nthirteen]

No, it should not quantize your recording. Strange.

Hi I'm learning with the OMKII .. do you have any tips for beginner, please?

[@nthirteen]

+UllP lucky you. Try to read the manual and get your head around this machine. It takes some time. Good luck.

How has it gone for ya? Did you stick with it? So close to clicking buy on an OT MK2 myself. Only have experience with Machinedrum MK2, so it’s going to be a huge learning curve.

[@nthirteen]

Have been more obsessed with synthesis than sampling lately. Ot sits in the shelf. You should try it and give it some time.

How does the recording begins in Track 3 by hitting play. Record button is active. But the recorder doesn‘t start. What am I doing wrong?

[@nthirteen]

You have to put in a recording trig.

@@nthirteen thx a lot

[@aidanvinum]

I have a question: Can I set ( for example): Set track 1 to chromatic mode while track 2 is in slices mode, track 3 in slots etc. And having them stay that way? Because when I play in chromatic mode a synth I created, it affects all my tracks to be in chromatic mode and I don’t want that. Sorry for being so long.

[@nthirteen]

The mode is independent of the selected track, you have to change it manually, if you change to another track.
