Very sensible perspective and it seems most of the community generally agreed with this at least implicitly. Still, I was asking in case there were any “oh, that one time (user) shared that particular technique they discovered that has become super useful”; the Octatrack’s own manual mentions in its foreword how it was inspired after, following the release of MachineDrum UW:
Blockquote "…Once the machine was released it became apparent that especially the RAM machines, which made it possible to record sounds in real-time and instantly play them back, were utilized in ways we originally couldn’t even imagine. "
And the octatrack is just made in a way that begs for the invention of methodologies and such. I actually have zero doubt there are threads out there that have been game-changing for some people, but still, I do think some were mentioned here and that will be more than enough to chew for a good while. Cheers.
