Quickest Way to Sample on the Elektron Octatrack MK2 (Long Version)

[@Fauxleroid]

You can sample in any track. Even if like here you have a beat playing in track 1 you can still sample in track 1. The recorder isn’t linked to the “machine” that’s on the track. You have 8 recorders that are armed independently. Once you realise this it actually goes a long way to understanding how the Octatrack fundamentally works. There’s 8 separate recorders buffers. You can record on track 1 every time but assign the recording to a track afterwards.

Great tutorial for sampling. I’m just trying to figure all this things about to this was great.

Glad to help! Yeah it can be a lot at first haha.

Great video per usual! For some reason I could not replicate that sampling process to a new track. In other words the new sample recorded over the first sample, even though I selected a new track. Hope that makes sense. I will keep messing with it. But ya I sure appreciate your videos.

Love your videos Ponchy! Curious how you would approach of sampling through the SSL Big SiX? I've thought of potentially using a Cue to allow sampling and effects (have also a patchbay), but wanted to see if there was a better method rather than re-patching through the patchbay.

This was a helpful video, thanks

Glad to help!

[@kisho2679]

how could the sample be played chromatically with a midi keyboard by hand, instead of running it with the sequencer?

Perfect Merci

[@Ponchy]

No prob!
