@_justin_joe first off, amazing videos here, highly enjoying watching your content! Excited to try some of these techniques myself. FYI -- when sequentially loading in samples from a directory, you can just repeatedly hit the Right arrow key on the Octatrack instead of having to alternate hitting the Down and Yes keys. It's a bit easier and faster!

[@_justin_joe]

Thanks For this reply And thanks for that great tip about loading the slots!!! Going to have to try that

[@_justin_joe]

I just tried your tip today about the right arrow! This is awesome and thanks so much for sharing

[@npawelczyk]

@@_justin_joe Awesome I'm glad it's helpful! you have a new patreon and I'm very excited to try out some of the OT material you've uploaded

[@_justin_joe]

My dude crushing it

[@_justin_joe]

Thanks brother

[@G.GordonMidi]

So many slots you won’t know where to begin!

[@TheFreakingpanda]

this is the best video i have literally ever seen. THANK YOU for teaching and for getting to the point unlike other tutorials

[@_justin_joe]

Wow, thanks!

[@briansanders3860]

Thanks for the video! It makes so much sense and seems obvious when it's laid out like this, but I hadn't thought of loading up "drum kits" on the slots, will have to try it!

[@marcwav]

That is such a simple yet amazing workflow tip!

[@davegibbon]

Thanks for the video! I’ve had an OT for a couple of years and haven’t dug into Slots yet.

[@_justin_joe]

Let me know if you try it out

[@AltusNoumena]

Genius idea!! Thanks so much friend

[@_justin_joe]

So glad to hear it!

[@jolieuke]

Glad to see you back and once again, another super tips! I have never, ever even looked at slots. Wow, super useful! Thanks!

[@_justin_joe]

Thanks so much for the kind comment and glad to hear you got something from it! Feedback like this is my motivation For continuing to create content. Thank you

[@Sinnersainthuman]

Wanted to say thanks for your vids, i’ve seen a couple when I got my Octa 👌🏼

[@_justin_joe]

Thanks so much for saying so! I hope to make some more OT vids soon. Been busy with life and work recently

[@billionplays808]

[@holydiver4728]

Taking about slots - cue Beavis and Butthead jokes

[@user-vq6th9xq5b]

Hi, where is the page button to na navigate the slots? In can only play 16 Thanks

[@_justin_joe]

Lower right hand corner of the OT

[@user-vq6th9xq5b]

@@_justin_joe Oh thanks! You've saved my life! :) I love working with slots

[@lwpweb]

where is the trick? if i hold down the trigger and turn level, it is adjusting the level and not scrolling the slots?

[@_justin_joe]

Hmmm… strange is not working. Are you placing the trigger before holding it down and turning the level knob?

[@lwpweb]

can i use the slot triggers to load?

[@_justin_joe]

To load to a track? If so, yes.

[@lwpweb]

If i press the slot triger i get the sound but i do not get located in the slot list i have to scroll manually., this is not what i want.@@_justin_joe

[@TheFreakingpanda]

how did you make it so the hi hat doesnt cut off the other samples?

[@_justin_joe]

Hmmm. I think I had the hats on a different track since each track is monophonic in polyphony
