There´s a pretty capable synthesizer in your beloved sampler. You can record a sample, fuck it up with effects, a neighbor track and scenes. Then resample the shit and use a small portion of it like a single cycle waveform to play it chromatically like a synth. Voila, gnarly bass or frightening lead sound and everything inbetween is possible.
Feel free to ask questions…
Thanks. Andre.
Someone already beat you to the punch on this one unfortunately mate, check out the monolith template for OT, also check out adventure kid waveforms, huge huge pack of free single cycle waveforms
Thanks for sharing. Indeed, there has been a lot of discussion on this, especially with the advent of Digitakt, which - with it’s added precision for start/end/loop points lends itself particularly well to creating synth voices from short cycle samples.
Midi keyboard + Midipal + Octatrack = 8 voices poly synth.
It´s nothing new, it´s just a cheap trick and it´s fucking cool.
no doubt. lots of fun to be had with the single cycles
and its YOUR voice and waveform…! and sometimes much quicker than searching between thousands of samples 
I do love this, but it’s such a shame you can’t (easily) pitch more than +1/-1 octave on the OT. Though to get around this, I often make single cycle and other short melodic sample chains with each link at a different octave.
Another workaround to pitch octave up is to use Playback length (or start). It changes the waveform though.
Len=64 > 1 octave up
Len=32 > 2 octave up
Etc…
The limit is when you reach 64 sample chunks.
Of course you can use Rate 32, 16, 8… to pitch octaves down.
Oh. Its just a external sampling. No more.
THIS is true-synthesis with internal resources of this device ))
