Octatrack Live Sampling Tricks

I’m listening to a lot of Thom Yorke and Radiohead records at the moment, because I really like, how they use loopers. I found out, that I can get similar results with the Barcode script on my Monome Norns. So I tried to get that sound with the Octatrack. It works pretty well with a flex machine plus trigless trigs, slide trigs and trig conditions. Check out the kalimba loop in this example:

I also use the transition trick with my techno setup (Octratrack and Analog Rytm) and it works like a charm.

Say, would you know how midi song pointer position works on the OT? Would that be used to say have the OT be in sync with say doing soundtrack playback from a video editor? Either way, thanks.

SPP is a midi standard, so it also depends on your softwares…
