Received my Octatrack today completing the dark trinity. Been trying to setup the transitions trick to start off with before diving deeper into the machine as that is one of the main reasons I got the machine.
Been following the Octatrack Xfader Transition Trick Variations YT video and got it all setup perfectly like in the video.
Only thing is that in the above method there seems to be no way to listen to the incoming A/B and C/D signal on my headphones. I would really like to be able to listen to the live A4/Rytm audio feed in order to reprogram/adjust the pattern while the Octatrack is playing the recorded loop.
The only way I have found in order to do so is to setup two Thru tracks for the A/B and C/D inputs, then mute them while keeping the XVOL at max for those two tracks then send the two Thru tracks to the cue output in order to monitor them on the headphones.
Is there anyway to do this without loosing two tracks that are solely setup to provide cue audio to the headphones? Is there no way to allow the Octatrack to turn the volume of DIR to min while on Scene B but keep the live output of A/B and C/D still going through to the headphones somehow?
