Trying this out - I can’t manage to get it to sample only when the track trig is held down. No matter what, it records based on RLEN. Can you describe your recorder and track settings a little more? I feel like I’ve explored all possible track and recorder modes but to no avail
Recording while holding would be cool but AFAIK Rec Trigs don’t respect One 2 and Hold settings.
I wonder if REC SETUP2 QRec and QPlay settings are respected if you set them to PLEN, and use Plays Free + Rec Trigs…
Oh man !
Good point. Yes, on second thought I think you’re right - this would always record to RLEN wouldn’t it ? So No real difference with Hold/One2 there. My perception of that was likely distorted by what I heard as I played the trigs.
Of course, where it starts recording is relevant, as the 1/16 quantised setting allows for that.
I guess we could set playback trigs on the plays free tracks, and use hold in that manner. Gives you another option of playback…
Yeah, I think I mistook this with what I was hearing - see answer below. I think it will always record RLEN.
At one point I think I added playback trigs, so was using the Plays Free / Hold settings to enable those.
So yeah, no RLEN Hold magic sadly.
Thanks guys - edited the Hold / RLEN part

Even if it’s locked to RLEN it’s still fun, and you’re still able to manually control recording time by hitting AB for each track.
Nice bag of tricks, thanks for sharing!

I can’t wait till I have time with OT to experiment with this stuff but I’m not there yet…
Here’s from manual about hold and recorder trigs:

This kind of stuff proves that the OT is still the king of sampling
kudos and thanks for the share

hold issue apart you could also use one-shot rec triggers instead of plays free tracks, couldn’t you?
Yeah one shots too!
Hold seems to work with midi tracks plays free, in midi mode.
I used C4 for recording. I’m not sure there’s a note off on midi track release. I tried a random lfo on note length too. I was thinking of different length for different plocks…
Didn’t explore, just wanted to share quickly! Surely something to do with audio tracks plays free at the same time.

I confirm, Hold works with midi tracks plays free, so you can choose rec length with Midi Trigs in Midi mode, and play recordings with Track Trigs plays free.
Trig a sample on T5.
T1 rec T5, plays R1
T2 rec T5, plays R2
T3 rec T5, plays R3
T4 rec T5, plays R4
Common settings :
Rec Setup : HOLD, loop On, Src3 = T5, Qrec = 1
Tracks Plays Free Hold, 1/16 Quantize.
Midi mode
T1 midi ch1
T2 midi ch2
T3 midi ch3
T4 midi ch4
Common settings :
One Trig Note C4, Len Inf
Tracks Plays Free Hold, Direct Quantize
Maybe you have to stop and play.
Stay in Midi Mode, use crossfader and 1-4 9-12 trigs.
You can add things in midi tracks with Trigless Locks, midi lfos, etc…

Thank you for the idea !
I hope you’ll try with midi tracks to check if it can improve your trick.
If you plock Playback Length on a scene, hold shortly and use Pipo loop you can have some king of granular stuff and then go back to a more regular audio length.
I’ll try start or slices modulations later.
