In this video I go over the Elektron octatrack mk2 sampler as we put totter this beat making session using the amazing octatrack step sequencer. Coming from an mpc background I find the step sequencer is so amazing for boombap type beats. As I start sampling using this OT MK2 I notice how fast and easy it is to chop up or slice up samples in this octatrack tutorial.

Aye I been rocking with your channel for a lil minute now and I swear I keep telling myself to stop playing and buy the dam MPC already 😂😂 I’ve done enough overtime hours sheesh no more excuses … salute King💯and thank you for your inspiration‼️
I feel you on that I’m currently working overtime to buy some music gear and stuff starting with an MPC One! Black Friday coming up hopefully they got a good sale going.
The octatrack videos are becoming my favorite. Great work as always bro
Glad you like them! There will be a lot more OT videos coming out soon. I’m thinking of doing a rhythm roulette with the OT.
@@malobeats looking forward to it bro. ‼️💯
Dope, very detailed with explanations. Me Coming from production early/late 90’s I can say you’re one of the best here on YT breaking down these newly updated machines. Keep it up, Bless
I'm shock u don't do more videos with this beast
Hey Malo once again fantastic beat as always and really stoked to see you enjoying the octatrack. Heres a hot tip that opened a whole new world to me on the octa. You can live record into new patterns in real-time by starting the recording on pattern one then switching to the next empty pattern and continue your performance. you can do this across 16 patterns creating whole sections and variations of a beat. with 64 slices total the combos are endless. Keep in mind if you have pattern length to per track the e length might be a bit messed up on your next pattern but if all patterns are 4 bars long you can make and create your tracks in 4 bar variations doing it all live and then editing the steps after you jam it in. You can also then switch the sample to another one and it keeps the slice markers and playback trigs. So you can make some fun variations and if you have the Part saved you can just reload the part to get you original beat back. It is very dope.
Happy turkey day! Blessings
Oh man, thank you so so much for the input. I really need to try this. That really would save so much time and also keep the vibe going as I’m coming up with ideas without having to do too much settings. thank you for this. Happy thanksgiving to you and your family.
Whoa! Pro tip, thanks a lot man! Going to try this out...!
@@lucidekoninghI'm glad I can help open her up to others, The ocatrack is one of the most unique tools on the market for music production. I think the learning cruve people talk about is a little to hyped up, you just have to sit down think and understand what you want to accomplish and then set up accordingly.
Following this up here's a small run down of one of the ways I use the OT.
Octatrack has tracks 1-4 with samples. Track 1-4 can be a combination of Flex machines (with samples in flex slot or recording buffers), Static Machines or pick up machines (haven't gotten into pickups yet but same theory). I have a master pattern length of 4 bars on every pattern 1-16. You can do fun polymetric stuff though if you use pattern length to per track and utilize some odd time signatures. Though you have to preset pattern lengths or they default to 16 steps. Track 5 is a thru machine which runs my 404mk2 as a effects loop mainly but I can also do aux duties for other samples if I need them (404 has a terrible midi implementation that doesn't like to play with others not impossible but takes some fiddling). Track 6 is a thru machine for my Deluge which is doing drums and synth duties. Track 7 is a neighbor machine to process track 6. Track 8 is a master track with oscilloscope via Marcos tutorial which is fantastic page for learning octa!
You can also swap the thru machines and use flex machine as thru machine if you want to get experimental and have access to the playback (pitching) page of the octa for any other gear you have coming in. If you use the flex route you can do some wild live mangling of the signal but still keep a clean parallel signal on your neighbor machine.
Chop and prep your samples. Set your pattern lengths and then hit live record and switch patterns every 4 bars. You can then do this for every track you need weather its slices, chromatic or just one shots and playback. When you get good at it you can switch to the next pattern without a gap in your performance and have seamless transitions. But because you are recording you can wait for the next 4 bar cycle and then continue. when you are done capturing your performance press Play to stop recording and keep the sequencer running or stop to stop everything. This is my staple for both studio work and live remix sets.
PS. This is all with 1 bank and 1 part you have 16 panks and 4 parts.... I will leave you to think about it ;).
if you set up 1-4 as flex machines you can do the EZBOT performance stuff once you have scene set up as well :D. Happy Hunting!!
The more I see your videos the more I want a Octatrack.
Awesome beat MALO, and I pray you and your family have a blessed holiday season! Really digging the OT videos, and it's intriguing, but looks kinda difficult 🙏🏾✊🏾💚
Love your energy and great explanations
Great video, love your enthusiasm and explanations
Love these octatrack videos
Thank you so much for the support and showing the love. Hope to put out a lot more of these OT videos.
Awesome video you always straight to the point and very informational at the same time. Thanks for all you do 👍💯👍
You got a good spirit bro. I always check your videos even if its things I already know. Can't wait till you start hosting beat battles for your subscribers.
mannnnnnn these drums go hard. you make that Octatrack look easy
Thank you brother, it means a lot coming from you. The OT really isn’t too complicated for this type of workflow, but it does get a bit complex when trying to explore all the extra features it offers which is always welcomed.
Day late to this one, fire as usual bro 💯. I swear man the further you go with this thing, you find so many new forms of expression in beatmaking. I’ve been studying the fake sidechain trick, and even just that adds hella dynamics! 🔥
I'm grateful to watch this dope video No Cap Malo (Tuff) BEATS
That’s what I’m talking bout...(life and passion)
Awesome 😎
super dope!!!!!
Dope work Malo! Big inspiration to my Octa flow
Thank you so much 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Sick!
literally snagged the OT mkII two days ago...! soooo excited. grateful for you always being one step ahead of this music journey and sharing knowledge
been training hard on MPC One + SP404mkII (mainly for FX) but about 5 months ago i discovered the Octatrack world... finally got the budget for it and snagged a nice one on reverb!
How are you liking it? Mine arrives on Wednesday
Great, as you said, this is not every one's music but i love to see octatrack in action. Maybe you could make a video about the live resampling function of the octatrack and manipulate the digitone in realtime? That would definitely be fun to watch.
Thanksgiving Beat was 🔥 🔥 🔥. Thanks for sharing Malo!!!
Thank you so much for dropping by. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Hope you guys spend it great together.
@@malobeats No worries my guy. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well. Much respect Malo.
dope! I still need to get into the Stutter trick
Respect man
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Dope
🔥🔥🔥🔥
your making me want to pick one of these up.....
Thanksgiving video drop 🔥🔥🔥
🦃 🔥 happy thanks giving Brochacho
@@malobeats happy Thanksgiving bro!
dope fkn track!! if only more people made tutorial/demo vids using quality music like this. I might go buy an Octatrack today - haha.. nice work!
Yo, thank you brother. We’re just having fun. Tell me these videos and putting them out and hoping that people also feel the energy. Thank you so much for taking the time in sharing your feedback. Nothing but love and blessings to you.
@@malobeats yeah man! There’s a few spots where you’re flowing and it all locks in - you start laughing becuz it sounds so good .. instant bangers. Same thing happens to me - it’s the elektron effect.
Your beat had me noddin my head Tho.. watched the whole damn video to the end - very rare.
now that i have an Octatrack as of yesterday, these videos are helpful. Any chance you will go over the absolute basics, like file management on the card, etc? I was using this video a bit to understand how i just load a sample haha. Im a digitakt Guru but this thing is a lot different in some ways
Wow man. Great. Can i ask you which sample this is?
@malobeats I just learned today function + click(mix) is on and off metronome
HeaT to tha HearT.::
🙏🏽
Which one do you enjoy using more? Octa or MPC? Do you have digitakt too?
Do you like your mpc or octatrak more?
I enjoyed my MPC more sense it has infinite options when it comes down to the music making process, but the octa track seems to have this very unique approach to sampling and sequencing drums that brings out this other side of me . If I had to pick one it would be the MPC
Man you make me list for an Octatrack again. I had two. Mk1 and 2. But I couldn’t get by the fact that it didn’t record note length in chromatic mode.
Also I just realized at 12:00 you sound like Mike Shinoda
Oh man, this is a compliment, lol. I know exactly what you mean, it took me a while to get my head wrapped around the whole note length issue. I kept doing research over and over thinking I was the one Trippin, but looks like that’s one of the biggest limitations for me especially when I’m adding bass.
@@malobeats Same here...that was one of my biggest gripes. Nevertheless I want an OT again
learn how to pre slice tracks ;-) i think you may like it
Gotta fix the hi hat my man it’s off beat. 👍🏽
