Elektron Octatrack MKII Live resampling the Roland TB03 & TR09

Tutorial video explaining the whole setup and how the machines are set can be found here: dataline.bandc...

Naaaiiiled it!!!! 💣

[@MD_is_me]

This is what is meant when people refer to these "boxes" as instruments. It's more than just "pressing buttons". This is masterful. Playing Liszt's "La Campanella" is nothing more than pressing 88 long rectangular buttons arranged in a row.

[@user-wf4nl2yy8x]

Are you saying any person that is able to press 88 long rectangular buttons arranged in a row can just create a masterpiece out of nowhere without any understanding of composition, harmony, countepoint developed through years of study and practice?

[@mooted5513]

La Campanella sounds like good music. This sounds like a fax machine.

[@Srejv]

i thought this was youtube not pornhub

[@mattierenton701]

Holy hell, just stumbled over this absolute masterpiece in 2024, that Octotrack is a BEAST ❤

[@mgregory22]

I didn't appreciate how skilled you are at this until I tried to do something like this myself. It's impossible.

[@isaac.anthony]

PREACH!

[@ComradeClassen]

Anyone with an Octatrack just shat themselves thanks to the sheer speed and confidence this guy works the machine with. The scene changes as an effects selector was amazing as well. Bravo, good sir.

[@isaac.anthony]

the part where he starts to re-sequence what he just sampled is where my brain melts.

[@alfiedotwtf]

Clicked the video, watched it, and thought to myself "wow this guy is good"... then I looked down and realised it was MrDataline, the king himself!

[@ubiquitousreverser]

OOOOH!! Can’t wait to level up on that tutorial! Been on the Digitakt for the last year and just had to step up to Octatrack! It’s everything I ever hoped for and I’m diving in deep after I get scratching and general dj’ing down. Can’t wait to be able to mangle live samples from my Dad’s killer guitar riffing! Going to be a blast into the next dimension!

[@bca10101]

In case anyone was wondering if making electronic with hardware could be more fun than using a laptop, the answer is plainly evident in this video. Excellent performance, too!

[@simonsherbourne]

I must have watched this a hundred times. So inspiring.

[@jmddotfm]

I just bought this - I don't even own an Octatrack. It's awesome to see in detail how Cenk thinks about constructing tracks live. He's only asking £5 on bandcamp for this, it's a steal for the knowledge in it. Cenk, please make more of these. Support your local Dataline!!

[@mathiasbroutin3443]

How long is the video plz?

[@kaibarrera9911]

Or you can look up a tutorial literally anywhere else for free

[@sunilsolanki]

Jaynet Zhang How many others are proficient as playing and explaining as Cenk though?

[@TheDavidKettle]

Cenk you're the DJQbert of the step sequencer. So fast that peeps just can keep up! Ha ha. Mad beats peace and love

[@simonyricools]

Love the comparison.

[@ypmtd]

Thanks Cenk for the great tutorial!! There is so much info and inspiration packed in the 27 minutes, I will watch it over and over again! Great to hear that you will create more tutorials in future!

[@ronsone8373]

This dude is a machine!! never Let a pattern come around without Changeing some parameters.... IT blows my mind 🤯

[@mike_qbik]

Is this legal?

[@markleahodson7091]

Lol

[@maxmaxington5873]

I stand for legalisation!

[@RealBassPhat]

Amazing. I wish I could figure how to use my octatrak beyond just simple beats. This is inspiring.

[@isaac.anthony]

it's a long, steep learning curve, but rewards are vast...

[@station2station544]

is there a pill I can take so I don't have to read the Octatrack manual?

[@mathyouwilliams]

adderal

[@hiiipower3005]

i injected chrystal meth (by accident/long story) one time in ethiopia and i figured out every single feature on Logic pro X that id never used before, 48 hours of triple fas super powers allowing me to focus like superman, it was like the film limitless ....i just got a OT mk1 so i might have to make another trip bk to that dealer ...saying this tho, ive not used Logic since and im sure id now have no clue of what i WAS doin.lol...True story tho

[@Deathgazeroo]

That video is so amazing, I sincerely hope that the author is fully aware of how impressive his work is.

[@Kung_Fu_Jesus]

Tomasz Szymanek to me it sounded like there was way too many gimmicks being used, it kills the flow of the music, also would be a very awkward to dance to. Just because there are all these gimmicks on the Octa doesn’t mean you have to use all of them all the time, it gets tedious after a while.

[@mezzafinook]

[@Asiosky211]

@@Kung_Fu_Jesus you do know who made this video right? literally showing off all of the "gimmicks" an octatrack has.

[@el_dani]

@@Kung_Fu_Jesus it‘s a demonstration of the power of the Octatrack DYNAMIC sampler, not for the dancefloor

[@taniapomar6972]

This is knowing how to play your instrument, the same as a pianist or a guitarist.

[@mikenoface]

Solid work. I just got a OTmk2 and I'm going down the rabbit hole....

[@RMRRafa]

Just checked out the tutorial and its great! Very enlightning, thanks!

[@tacetmusic]

I got the tutorial, very easy to follow, concise and clear.. Thanks very much! Waiting on the shipping of my MKii, but I think I'm already getting a handle on parts v patterns and how to set up for live resampling thanks to your good work. I'm curious.. Each OT pattern can have a different part number assigned, so why wouldn't you change the pattern rather than the part? you can have pattern 1 running part 1 clean, then patterns 2-16 running part 2, that way any extra triggers etc will be gone when you switch back to pattern1-part1?

[@gooneybird808]

Dude this maybe my favorite jam you've ever done...holly snap!!

[@LamontStigler]

I'm sold!! I'm buying this Octatrack ASAP!

[@capvargas210]

Very good bass line! I love the acid sound of this Roland machines! Keep it on 🔥

[@iancain6647]

This is so incredibly amazing. F cking excellent job. Just wow.

[@sakka909]

Thank you Master! Your tutorial video is amazing!!!

[@DjangoFlaherty]

Your Digitakt performance is still my favourite. Very musical.

[@maggowitschwittbronsky8222]

best performance i've seen and hear so far

[@stevengr4]

Pretty sick. Time for me to hit the octatrack manual again and jam.

[@adroc9841]

How long is the tutorial video and how much detail does it go into? I just ordered an OT and am feeling a bit intimidated after watching some videos on how to program it. thx!

[@strelokknoize]

The Octa has a steep learning curve. But it's worth every second! There are plenty of tutorials for the MK1 from Elektron here on YT. The manual is also well written. You will need it!

[@annibalehexe769]

Amazing use of the octatrack !

[@ChristopherYabsley]

The MKII looks raised up, you didn't just plonk it on top of your MKI did you? =(

[@256k_]

I bit the bullet and figured anything CENK says would be worth 10$ so i bought the tutorial video on bandcamp and it was definitely worth it! I've seen pretty much every OT video out there but his way of explaining and demonstrating very powerful performance techniques really was exactly the extra bit i was missing from most tutorials out there... seriously folks do yourselves a favour if you're still relatively new and get this video... it's worth it. it's around 30 minutes long, but you'll probably spend hours watching and rewatching it.

[@adroc9841]

How long is the video and how much detail does it have?

[@undklang]

Hi, i bought the trak on bandcamp and there is no video link? please support. Thank You

[@Fauxleroid]

same problem. did you find it?

[@mefodymo7456]

really gooood duuudeee! I want to visit your live performance! ^))

[@jessejarrar]

Nasty! I'd like to hear more about the way you set up your tracks on the OT. Heading to bandcamp now 👍

[@256k_]

i bought the OT hoping it would be the source of my sounds and i would just play samples, but after seeing this i'm really reconsidering my setup and thinking about including a couple of external gear as well!

[@yotrakzproductions7324]

You definitely got skills. Maad noiice!

[@darenager]

Think this is my fave jam of yours, flawless victory my friend!

[@Fauxleroid]

Bought the track. Can't find the tutorial video anywhere :/

[@tubesockor]

This is incredibly good! And the TB-03 sound so lovely after the Heat processing. Also a great idea to have the in-depth tutorials on Bandcamp, kör hårt Cenk!

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Awesome! This proves that drums and bass are the heart of all music. You can knock out some wicked beats on just the Elektron A4 or Rytm for a one piece jam machine.

[@alecsbuga]

Hey Cenk, quick question: In chromatic mode why can Digitakt record note length and the Octatrack can’t? I’m using the trig keys not a midi controller. I know about workarounds for OT, but I’m wondering is this a technical limitation or just wasn’t an important feature?

[@richieAnimation]

Hi Cenk, does the tutorial also apply to the Octatrack MK1?

[@el_dani]

Yes, it‘s the same machine, just some less buttons, it‘s anyway handy to have the manual at hand with the tutorial ,or gofor Ezbot tutorial

[@tombaye]

at 2:22 you go to a part with a pre-recorded bass line?

[@LAPOTHICAIRE_23]

Ça déchire !

[@Towly263]

Hey dataline, send me a 3rd of your octatrack knowledge pls!Great stuff as always

[@turfoid7899]

Dude, that sounds wicked!

[@Antonrl93]

Outstanding performance!

[@LamontStigler]

This video convinced me to buy Elektron gear

[@colmandervin8812]

Just bloody awesome! If I could buy your skills with the machine I’d be sorted.

[@IUsedToBeAPygmy]

Awesome! One question though,I just bought it on Bandcamp to check out the Octatrack tutorial video, but I can't figure out how to get it? On Bandcamp when I click it it just plays the audio. How do I get a download link for the video?

[@sebastianesquivelv]

did you figure it out already? Thinking about buying it too.

[@RobotalismGames]

Dataline at its best! Impressive

[@atommachine]

Heat, i mean drive ^^ makes the TB 03 sound Old school if that makes sense , you drive those machine masterfully.

[@ponkor]

Jesus!....that's muscle memory!.

[@kpinutero]

What midi cable are you using ? Massive performance!

[@westerncivilization]

Freaking excellent, nice work

[@graingerweston563]

Someone’s familiar with the Octatrack...

[@betterscentral2294]

New look is very appealing.

[@pdbpbo]

Thank you. Again. You're like a digital Mozart ;)

[@vulpixninetales]

Absolutely wicked jam man! Well impressed

[@Jesusgetstheglory]

This is awesome work ive finally got enough money to get a rig going for electronic music and the octatrack looks awesome as the technology advances it will be more and more possible to do live electronic music that is so varied and dynamic, think of a central box with a step sequencer plus 16 pads that you can use both at the same time with other boxes that you can hook up that allow for sonic manipulation far beyond what we see here.

[@Jesusgetstheglory]

Look at my latest video i plugged my laptop into my bass amp and it just knocks, cant wait to get a midi controller and really get some analog tone out of a digital sequencer

[@dinraum]

How is the afx thing at 5:55 t=356 done?

[@OutcastCuraduria]

that looks like so much fun!!!

[@Mr11Worcester]

Reminds me of Aphex Twin.....if you don’t mind me saying 👍 😀

[@2010MrWhitewolf]

Gawd dam!! Well done that man!!What a wonderful tb03 workout :) Loved it! :)

[@greun]

This is the next level.

[@msahilabbaskhan]

Slayed it Maaaan!!!!

Awesome, really great performance.

[@humn_error]

Excellent jam my friend!

Plockade upp mk2 i fredags :) Finns conditional trigs med från början?

[@dntprr4997]

Top gear, top musician!

[@derykmoates377]

How long is the video Cenk? Great stuff as usual!

[@MrDataline]

Deryk Moates the tutorial video on bandcamp is just over 25 minutes. Talking about how the setup is connected, the processing of the roland boxes, how octatrack samples n plays audio seamlessly, how the analog heat affects the overall mix, octatrack 's fader settings etc...

[@derykmoates377]

MrDataline awesome, I'm sold.

[@mrclaytron]

Damn, that's awesome! Very inspiring!

[@Vandalsounds]

Man, oh man! That was fucking sick!

[@homelessballoon]

Great fun from Mr. Talent!

[@gizka6816]

if im lucky, mr talent will rub his tentacles on my art

[@terrordome426]

Dope composition!! Great machines here

[@Auxinelectro]

this is everything that I needed

[@djhexis78]

Sounds dope, pretty skills !

[@Unifono2012]

Great performance. Very interesting. The TR09 sounds pretty great here to me

[@MrDataline]

Thanks! TR09 sounds good because it runs through the Octatrack Compressor and EQ. Thats where I boosted its signal. Then everything goes through the Analog Heat. I have shown these details in the Tutorial video uploaded on bandcamp!

[@Unifono2012]

thanks. ok. Watched the tutorial. Quite a lot processing on the Rolands.

[@Unifono2012]

The tutorial is really great btw. Appreciate the insights! I guess you had it set up pretty similar in the old OT Video with the Korg Volcas.

[@MrDataline]

Unifono2012 yes thats right! Very similar setup and process with volcas! Thank you for the support!! Planning to have tutorial video for every video i put out ;)

[@Unifono2012]

MrDataline that's great to hear. always was hoping for some more dataline OT content ☺

[@Mr_ToR]

I own an octatrack for years now and I can not do half of what you're doing here. I didn't realize I needed to buy a clone of you with it.

[@itimmy101]

This is crazy good! I love acid bass!
