No it’s my cat. I trained him to do better than in original post.

It might seem that way but actually it’s December 20… Release date of Octatrack, 2010…

where is this snowy land?

Okay, here’s my entry. It won’t set the world on fire, but it’s what I came up with.

Happy Holidays!

I don’t kwow, I found this video internet…

Sharris · January 3, 2019, 5:44pm

I’m glad you posted a track @Sherelle

I finished mine, I played it a little live with Maschine Mk3 thru sp404sx, but my cpu kept overloading & glitching. Finally got it to stop glitching & recorded a good take… It sounded fine while recording, but when I listened back, it glitched thru out the entire track (glad I listened prior to uploading!). Apparently the memory card I was using is getting old or something.

I decided it wasn’t meant to be. I might try uploading the track again tonight, but I don’t want to be in the voting if I do, so don’t wait! I’m already so late, I wouldn’t feel right.

Great tracks everyone!

@Sharris This ended up being a good experience for me. I finally learned how to do a pattern chain. I hope you get to post you track. We’ve got another challenge going - the Octo Ocha Challenge. You may want to check that one as well. I forget what section it’s under (maybe do a search).

Sharris · January 4, 2019, 12:41am

That’s 1 reason I love battles/challenges, you really get to know your gear & can learn so much from them! Plus they’re fun

Sherelle · January 4, 2019, 12:43am

@Sharris. The Octo Orch Challenge is under Elektron Gear Octotrack, if you’re interested (the details are there).

Sharris · January 4, 2019, 12:55am

I don’t have an Octatrack
Been looking at them for awhile.
Somehow I ended up with 3 MPC’s but no Octatrack.
My plan is to sell 1 & get an Octatrack tho. Probably the Mk1

Fin25 · January 4, 2019, 11:44pm

What’s the craic then?
We voting or just accepting that mine’s the best?

sezare56 · January 5, 2019, 1:00am

@mightlife, would you make a vote form?

mightlife · January 5, 2019, 9:37am

Sorry, I’m too busy.
Partly the reason that I haven’t visited this forum in about two months.

sezare56 · January 5, 2019, 9:43am

Too busy for the best I hope. Happy new year!

I propose a vote here, with 2 different choices, counting 1 each. You can choose your song and another one.

mightlife · January 5, 2019, 10:07am

Yes and no.
Yes, enough that I was able to get myself a DSI Evolver. Might be going down the Octa rabbit hole as well soon

Fin25 · January 5, 2019, 2:16pm

Right then, me first, in no particular order…
1 - @Munro
2 - @Breaktheloop

I’m not gonna vote for myself, it’s Christmas (plus these are way better and more accomplished than mine).
I would have voted for you @sezare56 but you won the last one and I’m a communist.

sezare56 · January 5, 2019, 2:50pm

Beware I’m like Poutine, I have a prime minister and I’ll stay for decades!

Snipecatcher · January 6, 2019, 10:26am

This was tough. So much to like about a lot of em.

@breaktheloop - beautiful substitutions and I can relate to the melancholy
@Munro- just sounds rad
@Fin25- because he’s batshit crazy and I can get behind that

I had 3 others that kept moving up the list, but I’m sticking with these. Thanks to everyone…very entertaining!
