After one year playing exclusively on Elektron devices, I think I finally get them : - )

Elektron Gear Octatrack

Tight!
I’m doing a similar thing live with a grey trinity but making dubby downtempo.

Would love to see some “how to” videos for transitions n such if you are so inclined:) Especially using scenes.

Take care​:sunglasses::sunglasses:

Really nice ! (music and explanation) I listen to it at least two times per day !
How do you manage backup for this song?

#43

Thanks @RiddimFernandez, I would like to see your sets, do you have any youtube videos?

and don’t worry about “how-to” videos, it will be posted soon on my channel :slight_smile:

#44

Thank you very much @9uile, You made me very, very happy now!!

what do you mean by “backup”?
I save “kits” by the same name on every device, and have a multiple project versions :slight_smile:

#45

When you backup this song to a computer, do you need to backup project for each device ? So, three backups ?

#46

well, at first I was very happy with the Overbridge backup option (total recall) but now I realise there is still no perfect solution for decent bacup management.

so, mostly I save the projects with different names, use Sysex C6 for complete backup, and Overbridge Total recall, hoping that nothing will go wrong :slight_smile:

I really wish that the Elektron release some project management software in the future, so that we can easily move kits and patterns between projects.

Wouldn’t it be simpler to use a file sync software? I’ve been using Allway Sync’n’Go on all my critical folders for ages (I didn’t use it on the OT yet but there’s no reason it shouldn’t work)

I’d like to hear/see this :slight_smile:

I really dont know how would I use it on Analog Four and Rytm.
But for the OT, it is really simple, just copy the files from the CF Card, of course

It’s really easy on OT :slight_smile:

I use Carbon Copy Cloner on the Mac. It backs up the Octatrack every time I mount the Octatrack on the Mac. I also have a separate task that makes an extra copy to an SD card.

This works for anything that mounts as a USB disk on the Mac.

Very good video!

Could you make one on the preparation workflow? How do you start? How do you create and organize patterns? Pattern and program changes? Structure a song?

Thanks

Thanks @Grumo!!!
It will be a real challenge to make a tutorial like that, but I will definitely do it :wink:
