1): no. static needs to play from cf-card. Recorder buffer is just in the RAM.
2) If your recording, the sample cannot be played backwards while the recording is still in process. If the recording is finished playing backwards will work.
3) Did you hit cue+C-D?
4) Some like master-fx, especially with freeze-delay set as master-fx. But many just use 8th track as a regular track.

sorry to be a pedant, but regarding the first two, how do you transfer a temporary ram track recording to stream it then, surely there’s a way to move that ram slot to the card without a lot of other steps
and wrt 2> the sample was completely sampled, i’m talking about gaps in the audio when just reversing a sample, loop mode was on i believe, so i don’t know why the sound is being killed, if it were a static track i might suspect bottlenecks, but this was flex !
yeah it was the cue thing, i kept trying to press the record button first which was not undoing it (wrong way round), so i got confused about what it was
thanks for the input
To take a sample from the buffer to a static you need to save and assign from file menu.
thanks, yeah, i was doing that, just not quite what i hoped for in terms of ‘dynamic’ or ‘performance’ (@E, key combo, hint hint), however, i’ve found my ‘in’ and the OT and I are bonding just fine (warts and all) 
- still not settled on why my rate tweaking lead to audio-blank
the screen is un-viewable unless you’re on top of it, bit annoying !
What the … no midi over USB ! … well there goes my plans to control stuff via Lemur (Directly, not via DIN, as reserved for footcontroller), seriously ! #arghhh #shocked
One of the few big-time omissions on the OT.
Otherwise, if you want just to save the sample quick from the Recorder menu you can press FUNCT+[BANK] then a menu will appear with the following options:
EDIT THIS RECORDING will open the recorded sample in the audio editor. The audio edi- tor is covered in the section “THE AUDIO EDITOR” on page 95.
SAVE THIS RECORDING will save the recording made by the active track recorder to the Compact Flash card.
SAVE ALL RECORDINGS will save all recordings of all track recorders to the Compact Flash card.
GO TO MEMORY CONFIG will open the MEMORY menu, where the allocation of the RAM memory can be set. Read more about this menu on page 39.
Thanks for all the fbk so far folks - very helpful
Slowly getting there
Am I missing a trick to temporarily Mute an Effect on a given track ?
I know and love scenes, but i’m wondering if a simple toggle exists, like track mutes … i tried (Effect 1) + (No) as a guess but that did nothing, maybe there isn’t one, no harm in asking ??
Anyone know why the volume rises in 2s, it ‘distracts’ me trying to set it to 100 when it’s odd ! #ocd ?
[edit] i also don’t mean, just fn+mix encoder either to manually reduce it
You could use clear and undo on an effects page to get an effect mute type effect I guess but scenes are the easiest way (hold scene button and toggle different scenes)
Great tip, I use the clear a lot but forget about undo 
Gives me most of the functionality red in that instance !
Day one with pickup machines, i have expectations (other looping h/w) which may be colouring my opinions somewhat - they’re not favourable at the moment !
Basics - I have everything setup just like in the official OT pickup demo
However, the playback of any audio I capture is significantly lower than the audition level - i have no other tracks playing, DIR is 0, gain is 0, no scenes, no fx, everything seems to be at ‘vanilla’ settings, yet the playback audio is noticeably quieter ! (studio mode fwiw)
what am i missing, must be something basic ? or is this a known thing …
I can get ‘unity’ between input and recorded playback by setting the AB level to 64 in the Recording setup page #2, but this contradicts the settings advised in both the pdf and the video, which shows no gain drop ! - can anyone confirm ?
There is a mode that lowers the gain of each ‘take’ - I’d check you don’t have that enabled by mistake - sounds like you haven’t - but worth a pop
^ That seems to be what the Gain knob is for (i’ve not tested), i’m guessing a bit like feedback on a delay line, but that is set to the default, ie 0, and i cannot find any other settings deeper in the menus ! I’m fairly sure this would be evident to others as being somehow ‘wrong’ ! bit stumped …
I have the Mixer Mix set to Main, and I am using 'phones, everything normal on mixer page too fwiw
Same issue if I switch to Normal (non-studio) mode or if I use the Main outs - the only way to get level parity is to set at AB on rec pg 2 to 64, if set to 127 (as recommended) is it significantly louder during audition than when played back !
?
whats the best way to get reverb/delay trails without stopping the sequencer? for some reason i thought i could do that by having a scene tied to level but that’s pretty much the same as if i muted a track.
right now i’m trying to be more performance oriented and making the most variety out of a single pattern and being able to do that would be awesome.
also i just found out that if you hold down the stop button and mash play, you can have a rhythmic stutter. before i would let go of stop and the timing would be too sloppy to be useful. very cool
also i’m really looking into ways to incorporate the OT and other hardware into my DAW for composition rather than performance. anyone got experience using the OT for instance to sequence drum patterns from a soft sampler? nothing beats a step sequencer for programming drum patterns!!
Any other takers before I try support ?
check your gain on the attributes page of the audio editor
Scene lock “vol” on the amp page.
That sounded like a good place to look, but the gain is also 0db there too !
I reckon there’s a 6dB drop in the recorded track compared to the input signal when I have AB set to 127 on Page 2 or rec-setup ! I’m on 1.25b
The input level equates to that when Dir is 127 in Mixer, it’s 0 when i’m recording and when i turn Dir up i disable the pickup - to avoid auditioning confusion !
how can i quickly revert to a part’s saved status? on the MD, im used to being able to hit function+extended/classic to undo changes made to a kit. is there a way for similar functionality on the OT? also, anything similar to MD’s function+data knob ability? or would those kind of large changes all be mapped to the cross fader?

right… that’s why the default setting is +12db
