just received my used MKII in the mail on Friday, really enjoy your videos! I love Jon too but I appreciate that you show the struggle and frustration lmao. It's also nice to see someone with a kind of left-field, overload-adjacent set of influences.
To be totally frank, I've been soaking in the Octatrack lately and have gotten used to a lot of the weird stuff from unbroken hours of jamming, and when you started I was like man, I don't know how this is gonna go, and I'd have a hell of a time with those samples, and then I watched you sculpt it up and come through with a great track in the end. subbed.
That was Bach's Brandenburg concertos, no 5 I believe - so a bit later than medieval! Worth listening some other time, there's like a 5 min harpsichord breakdown in the middle before the chorus comes back in...I agree it wasn't working on this track though... Cool vid and track, keep up the good work 👍
@@davemachine so i've given it a good clean, only things that i couldnt clean are the pots as they are rubberised and have become stained. i like the look tho lol
I really appreciate that you leave the raw chunk of sample when listening if anyone else wants to take them!
Ahh I hadn't thought of this, I will continue then haha
nice!!!

Ahh thank you, sometimes you’ve just got to keep going and trust the process haha
Great track! You've got a new subscriber. Keep up the quest brother!!
Much appreciated! Thanks bro
The most fun Octatrack vid I’ve seen :)
Nice work…
Tip: to start play from ‘page 4’ as you asked: use the arranger with offset.
Ahhh ok! I’ve never really spent much time with the arranger, another feature I’ve been leaving for another day haha, I’ll have a look this week!
Nice work man!

It shows that my musical knowledge starts at around 1950!
nice vid!! my octa used to look nice and new like that, now its all grimey and brown - still love it tho.
Haha thanks, why not treat your octa to a spring clean
@@davemachine i think that is a good idea :D

@@hamsticklehqhaha that sounds like an improvement
You’re thinking Todd edwards! Good video btw!

You need the brain of a scientist to work the Oct.
So true
