Blank Presets?

Hi there,

I have just got my Octatrack, my setup is thus

I DO want to set up my sessions so that I know what machines are on which tracks and which samples are loaded into which kits etc…but…

I DON’T want to store any “preset data” of which steps have drum hits or P-Locks etc.

is there any way to have the OT default back to a blank pattern? cos at the moment i turn it on, jam around until ive made a mess of my pattern and then turn off the unit (without saving ) then when I come back and turn it on, there is my messed up beat again when all I want is a silent canvas to start from (but with the right kit parts loaded in the right tracks etc).

any work arounds?

Hi, that is no problem.
Create in a Set a new project and call it f.e. default.
Make your settings as you like and store it.
Next you open it load your samples, etc. and store it under a new name.
