Reviving this thread to hear about @mistercharlie experiences with his brand new OT
@echoopera
A question if I may.
Noticing your rig in the photo....
What does the Korg Electribe Wave bring to the table
when paired with an Octatrack??
It's just a fun instrument to play. I love the look of it and sometimes really enjoy the sound of it:
Have a bunch of tracks here:
Good to know.
I'll have a listen.
Thank you.
Let’s blow this thread up @mistercharlie 👊🏼™️
Is it still possible to join the beta team? Or, is that just a small group of testers just now?
@echoopera
It’s going better than I expected! The first time I owned one I spent so much time working out why a track was silent that I never got much done. This time, maybe because of more hardware and Elektron experience, I’m having way more fun.
So far, it’s mostly pickup machine loops, and then using flex machines to screw with the loaded recorder buffers. I’ve been sampling guitar, and prepared guitar.
I’m also really, really digging the slicer, and sample chains. The chains make it act like an OP-Z, only with way better sampling.
One great new feature in OS 1.40 is that you can trigger slices from a midi keyboard. I have an Akai MPD218 permanently attached for this.
One big surprise is how great and easy the MIDI sequencer is. I’ve got it hooked up to Model D and iSem, on two separate tracks, with one of the audio tracks set to sample 2-bar loops from them. Using Audiobus as the host for its stellar MIDI and session-saving skillz.
I keep wandering into the weeds, then forcing myself back to the pickups and flexes. I figure I’ll hammer those until they become second nature.
Also, just learned that I can manipulate longer samples using trigless p-locks. That’s going to be a great alternative to slicing.
In short, I love it, and it integrates surprisingly well with everything. Even my guitar pedals.
I promise to post something here soon, but I don’t like sharing half-arranged stuff, and so far it’s all just been improvisation that doesn’t hold up to public scrutiny
Next experiment: using Octatrack to control Segments, and resample it.
This sounds great.
So as much as I tried to recreate the workflow and such of the OT in Drambo, I couldn't get it quite right... so I ordered my 3rd Octatrack. I plan on keeping this one forever... Hah.
Good call! Let us know when it arrives
Soon! haha. I had a MKI and MKII. Sold them both when I felt like I wasn't using them well enough. After spending all summer writing a Digitone/Digitakt/iPad live performance set, I realized where the OT would fit in well. Plus, there isn't really anything else that is quite like it and I love the Elektron workflow.
I think this happens a lot. The Octatrack does so much, it’s easy to feel like you’re “wasting” it.

Coming to it again, with concrete ideas of what you want to do, really helps. Also, third time around you probably already know how it all works. Or most of it
.
I know I'm the odd man out, but after being an octatrack owner for 2 years and selling it, I don't miss it. The physical controls are good but otherwise Drambo satiates me fully.
I never really used pickup machines though and thats an area that the octatrack excels at. But I found the midi tracks buggy, the fx underwhelming, the file management hellish and it was so easy to accidentally delete hours of progress trying to remember which shortcut you wanted.
It was also the idea that for the price I sold the OT for, I got an iPad Air 4, Polyend Medusa, and a few dope apps. I sold both my OTs for more than I paid, which was great
The fx really are underwhelming, and it’s a weird selection too. I’ve hooked a Hall of Fame reverb on the cue as a send effect, and I can just resample to include the FX. works well for me, but I’m a guitarist so it’s hard to live without reverb.
My biggest wish for an Octatrack 2 would be better FX. Plus Overbridge, and less confusing gain options. And a better time-stretch. And red record buttons like on the anniversary edition.
Many thanks @ervin Glad you like the sounds
@mistercharlie This looks fun:

That looks super useful!
I’m trying to deflate octatrack gas, so wondering if there’s some sort of miniature version that could be constructed from drambo and a controller/audio interface - does the circuit rhythm fit that at all, or is the audio not class compliant? - are there any other controller/interface boxes that might fit the bill?
