I tried to change the filter distortion with a scene. I couldn’t. It’s not possible, right?
Right. Only the parameters on the first page can be assigned to a scene. @sezare56 might have some clever workaround, tho
I’d say yes, it’s possible! DIst also depends on input signal, hence VOL. There is a kind of threshold.
Once I experimented that, cranking DIST, lowering VOL till it matches normal level without DIST.
Edit : forgot to mention that of course you can use VOL or XVOL (overriding VOL plocks) as scene assignments.
I made that with phase cancellation test, so apparently no loss doing that.
Enjoy !
Amazing! I knew you would have a solution
Could have not work, but I tested it successfully once. Hope it still works !
In France we say impossible is not French. I’m pretty sure we’re not the only pretentious country in the world!
And I’m Breton, they have a stubborn reputation. Can help with OT.
Fantastic, merci!
Not marvelous example, but I just did this with one track, 4 md samples, filter (with Dist 64 and VOL 32 for “clean”) and compressor.
Should give an idea. Scene A (neutral) for 2 bars, then messing with xfader.
Just yesterday I watched a video saying OT effects are dogshit and you post something like this! I never thought lower volume + filter distortion would equal the original sound, very nice info!!
You can also use the Distorsion of the LOFi which is plockable.
Sure. They are different though. And Filter Dist modify filter behaviour.
They can be combined.
It’s interesting to try LOFI before Filter btw.
OT effects are awesome!
I like them too but I understand if someone comes from a DAW where they have hundreds of VST effects then they can be underwhelming. It was a video on why the OT is bad, I watched it out of interest… the guy listed 8 reasons and I think most of them were just one reason: “you have to know how to use it”. There might have been one I agreed with but I forget what it was.
I know, I am just playin. I am the Octatrack guardian!
Just lo-fi distortion before filter? Sounds amazing. And then there is the bitcrushing, SSR and AM stuff as well. OT is such a good destruction (in a good way) box of tricks. With neighbour machines, LFOs, xfader, it’s near enough endless
Yeah this sounds amazing. Gonna have to try this out tomorrow
I saw that video too. I think that guy is funny and knows the OT well but he misses that when you can get really great filters and distortion out of a box, that is a huge win. He was talking about the reverbs, etc and those are all just icing really.
The core sounds like @sezare56 are dialing up are what its all about, imo.
Yes. AM sounds better with phase retrig (set to 90). I maxed all parameters in lofi except AM freq, tuned to a note.
Envelope filter.
Compressor Eq on master.
