OT midi loopback and muting the midi track

with pickup machine you can erase the buffer with rec3 or its midi note if you want to wipe that one and start over, how do you erase the record buffer to start over if u r using just a flex machine

Octatrack : Midi Loopback Question(s)

Looks valid. In that scenario you must also set 4 audio channels to midi channels 10 to 13. Otherwise you will experience midi feedback on those channels. The audio tracks will block the midi tracks from receiving midi so the feedback loop is interrupted using this method.

Using MIDI Loopback to trigger tracks?!

Of course it is doable but there are more settings to review. Beside you can use sample locking on the regular Audio Track to choose samples from slot lists and place them with trigs. Since OS 1.40 you also have access to every of 128 slots from list with all the midi notes (C-1 - G9): [schemat]
