Just got a brand new OT MKII. I know there are multiple threads on this very issue: getting a brand new Octatrack and having no idea how to begin. Please let me know if this thread is redundant (this is my first post, glad to be here!).
I’m sitting in front of the OT, having read parts of the manual, having watched a number of overviews and tutorials on YouTube, having used the Machinedrum and Syntakt before, and I’ve got nothing so far. I’ve seen threads about how to start, but I could use a little more direct advice.
First off, I’m new to sampling out of the box (I’ve only used Ableton for sampling/mangling).
The manual is hard for me to figure out on its own (I’m still going to read it all, though). Merlin’s guide is helpful to get a grasp on the machine. Videos help a lot, especially if I can follow along.
So, where are the best resources today? How did you learn?
Also, is there a major difference between OT MKI and OT MKII tutorial videos? They seem like they’ll work just fine for the MKII.
Thoughts? Many thanks in advance!
