I made an account here just for this!
Help me understand why I sometimes have trouble saving samples on the Octatrack. I’m sure I’m being a dunce about this, so go easy on me.
I sometimes like to create a project and then build up the project while recording new samples and creating new patterns. However, I often encounter an issue with the Octatrack where it thinks that the brand new sample I just recorded is already stored on the Octatrack, and it won’t let me save, even if I record a new sample onto a different track.
What am I doing wrong? I’m sampling as I’m building up the project, so I don’t want to start a new project to fix the issue. Rather than using a workaround, I’d like to learn what I’m doing wrong so I can do things the right way from here on out.
The way I’m recording is to send MIDI from the Octatrack to my hardware, and then to record the sample using the recording buffer and then saving the sample using function + record 3.
I’ve tried combing through the manual and material online, but it’s all giving me a headache. If someone here could help me understand and fix the problem here, I’d be so thankful!
