I finally completed the Dark Trinity last week with an Analog 4, and it has been an absolute blast jamming with them.
What I want to do now is set up a live performance template for all 3. I’ve got some of the standard slider stuff on the OT, some filter stuff on the AR and some random stuff on the A4, but I feel like there’s a lot more I can do.
If you own any/all of these machines, what kind of performance templates do you have? What scenes for example do you have on the Rytm? How do you use the OT? Quite a vague question I know but hit me with whatever you’ve got! I’m sure it’ll be educational.
On such trinity, I would most definitely setup at least a couple of THRU tracks to add some OT flavor on top of other machines.
And also have some live sampling to mangle the other machine sounds.
A master track to glue this all with a compressor.
Makes me think I would take the BD out of Rytm main and treat this in a separate THRU track.
It’s a good idea to treat your bassdrum as one track.
Faderaction on the Octatrack scenes without messing with that kick…
If you want to play live and loud forget about stereo, that means you can perhaps make
a = bd (rythm)
b = bass (a4)
c = mid/highs rythm
d = mid/highs a4
I would setup 1 or 2 loop recorders on the ot, for transitions, or other mayhem.
just an idea.
depends on what you want to make with your octatrack
That’s a really good way of looking at it actually, lows and highs as opposed to just the separate instruments. I’ll have to play around with that! I’m guessing I can take the kick out of the master out on the Rytm and route it to just it’s own output?
I currently just have the 2 running into AB and CD each with a neighbour track on track 1-4. 8 is master, 7 resampling and 5 and 6 are for samples, though I could forego them entirely since there’s usually at least 2-3 tracks on the Rytm that are barely/never used.
