Hi,
I’m still quite new to the Octatrack MK2.
I started out recording various samples on my OT: a snare, a kick and some chords. Each sample is assigned to flex tracks T1 to T7 (T8 is master).
The corresponding trig buttons 9 and up can play these samples.
However, half way through this process I got the feeling that I was approaching this the completely wrong way. I had plenty more than 7 samples I was planning to use for this pattern.
Is a better plan to record all the drums as a sample and assign it to, say, T1, then the bass line to T2 etc?
I assume that I approached this the wrong way and that the OT is not meant to be used to build up songs from individual tiny samples that have not been gathered to larger samples? Or is this where sample slicing enters the picture?
Thanks in advance!
