  • The Elektron Octatrack is a notoriously difficult sampler, if you listen to people online. But it doesn't have to be, if you take it one step at a time. In this tutorial we are taking a look at the different track types it offers. Wanna help me out? 👉 ko-fi.com/sonwu

    It just occurred to me that when I open an internet web browser to visit UA-cam to look up a Son Wu tutorial, I actually do indeed already know who it is.

    I dont even have it yet but this helps so much along with your other OT videos.. I've trained hard with MPC ONE as my main for 6 months, and i think it's time to move up to OT... my appetite for live performance is getting stronger

    i stupidly didnt know (only had this device 2 weeks or less) the midi tracks are a whole separate 8 tracks than the main ones. also didnt know how the arp was edited until you did it. So thanks for that

    Very well explained. So you can have record, playback, and midi all at once on one track or only one? Been eyeing the Octatrack for years. Everytime I get close to purchasing I start to have doubts. I see from your most recent comment you moved on. Any reason and what did you get as a replacement?

    • @SONWU
      @SONWU  Рік тому +1

      Thanks! Yes, these functions are all available at the same time.
      I am actually thinking of rebuying the Octatrack at the moment. It really is a great sampler and a very flexible addition to any setup.
      There are some gripes and limitations, but once you properly learn it and see how to use it in your setup it is great. There's a reason it's been around for so long and seemingly is more popular than ever. The only thing holding me back right now is...money, and wondering if an OP-Z field will be released soon. Because in terms of MIDI sequencer the OP-Z is a great replacement. But not as good a sampler.

      @@SONWU Thanks for responding and your overview was one of the best out there. You made it more simple to understand. Glad to hear you may buy again. That is a good sign. Seems lots of people buy and sell OT multiple times and still come back. From other videos it appears to be a swiss army knife of samplers with tons of FX capabilities. I am sold and will definitely be buying one. Looking forward to the learning curve challenge.

    I have Syntact, so I am familiar with the general idea of Elektron workflow, centered on the parameter locks. But I could never understand what OT is all about. I was watching the videos, where ppl put stickers labeling the channels it looked like Chinese. Now I finally get the idea. Can you please explain in the same manner, what is crossfader AB doing, because it is also unique for OT?

    • @SONWU
      @SONWU  10 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for you feedback! The scenes AB are similar to parameter locks. You hold down A or B, then you lock in certain parameters. You can then slide seamlessly from your normal parameters (for example if you haven't locked any parameters on the currently selected A scene) to the locked ones in scene B, or between locked parameters of 2 different scenes. Hope this makes sense :)

    • @skibaa1
      @skibaa1 10 місяців тому

      @@SONWU Oh, so this is gradual transition from values locked on A to the common values on the central position and then from central to values locked on B? So actually there are 3 points (left-center-right) with intermediate values?

    • @skibaa1
      @skibaa1 10 місяців тому

      On Syntact there is "Fill" condition, which means a parameter lock will trigger only when/while "Fill" is pressed, so this slider works similarly?
