Ask Me Anything on/about the Octatrack, OctaEdit, Moonbeams or Bunny Rabbits

[Rusty]

I think it does until I try it,…

I advise to create a couple of dummy projects (‘Source’ and ‘Target’) and just add a couple of samples into them and some trigs, then play aroudn with them a bit to get a good feel for the Manager and what it does… there is a lot of power and functionality in there, so can get a bit confusing and hard to explain.

is it possible to save this into a new set, just in case I completely fucked up the original,

You can take a backup of your Set/Project (just archive on OSX or Windows)

OctaEdit has an ‘Auto Backup’ option which will backup your Project prior to atually writing the files to disk. This can be toggled on/off in: Options -> Backup -> Auto Backup

and to have a more organized set and cleaan audio pool that only has project samples in it ?

Have a look at the ‘Location’ drop down in the: Manager -> Target group. This allows the ability to change where the physical audio files will be moved to when copying in Manager.

Thanks, will try tomorrow.
Would love to try how transitions work out.

No problem at all. Just ping me if you need any help / assistance?

Hi. Did you try to use Purge Sample for the first 8 slots of Static and Flex ?

Hi. Did you try to use Purge Sample for the first 8 slots of Static and Flex ?

No, I’ll need to sit down and see how the Octatrack behaves at some point…

Did you not see the v1.1.000 Release Notes??? What do you think I’ve been doing with my time? hahaha

[sezare56]

Collect samples

Will test tomorrow maybe… give me a nudge in a day or two if I haven’t responded…

Snap!

Hi. Did you try to use Purge Sample for the first 8 slots of Static and Flex ?

Yes. Purge Samples will purge samples in the first 8 Static or Flex Slots so long as they aren’t referenced within the Project.

[sezare56]

Just tried again.
New project, I only load 12 samples in Static slots.
Purge Samples > 4 samples removed (9-12).
Won’t bother you more…
What about moonbeams ?

Somewhere in one of the 64 potential scenarios you have a reference to Slot001; because by default, Track01 uses slots Static001 and Flex001.

If you go through all the Parts, in all the Banks, and change them , you should see that you cna purge and remove samples that were asigned to Static001 and Flex001.

Tested on OSv1.25E

Ok that make sense for Defauft Samples. We can consider they are used even without trigs…
So if I want to purge those samples I have to select other slots as Default Sample.
I will try tomorrow.
Thanks !
Tested on 1.25H

[sezare56]

Ok I trust you I don’t want to modify all banks parts without Octadedit.
So anyway do you agree that it is better to choose slots from 9 if you want to be able to purge samples ?

Thanks, I saw your impressive work for Mac platform.

[UYoYU]

Works just fine.
And pretty easy and quick…thanks a lot Rusty !
First time round I forgot to do the same to the static samples.

Hi Rusty,
sorry to bug you about this, buhutt: any ETA on V1.2000?

I might just call it “MkII”

Couple of weeks at the moment? It is a massive update… so an aweful lot of checking and testing to be worked through. Certain special people like @Abhoth, @the_dreammer and @ON-OFF-ON might have seen some pretty pictures…

Is there any way of remotely controlling start and end points within the audio editor?

I have my OT fully mapped to a couple of faderfox controllers so I’m aware there’s no cc mapping btw

[sezare56]

Very sure you can’t. That would be great. For granular stuff ?
Live tweaking is interesting in audio editor for sure. I used it with Lfo on Playback Start with great results. Thanks to @Open_Mike.

With short slices, you can use playback LEN to reach the smallest value : 64 (sample chuncks).
For a 64 long loop you can plock different samples with short slices. Not the same, but it can be efficient. You already can do a lot with Playback Start/Len.

how do I record three, five or for example 6 bars in the Pickup machines without getting a tempo fuck up? (I know it’s not possible, but would like your input on this)

OT only loops 1,2,4 or 8 bars. I have kindly asked for improvements in the new firmware for MKII
