Elektron Octatrack - Disconnecting Tracks

[@SONWU]

Funny, I just did the thing with randomized MIDI melodies yesterday and was planning to make a video on it :) You are doing a great job explaining this!

Keep it up man. Really enjoy your octatrack content.

That is so cool! Another super useful and inspiring video. The music is delightful! Thanks!

This is really cool! Thanks so much for this video!

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?

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!

It works! Thank you so much
