Help: Odd sounding samples

Got my octatrack recently. This evening I have been loading some samples into the audio pool.
But the sound quality is really bad. Somethings is wrong I think. It sounds like its ‘clipping’ or something in the lower frequencies. Fx I loaded a short church choir sample, and I’ve used that same sample on my MDUW where i don’t have that issue.

I have checked that I don’t have any effects going on on the OT that causes the samples to sound like this.

Anyone have any ideas about whats going on? Could it be something w/ the way I transfer samples from the computer? I’m starting to fear I have a faulty unit.

All help is hugely appreciated

All best

How do you load the audio files onto the OT? Via USB? What format are the files?

Hi,
Yes, I transfer via USB. The file format is AIFF.

and samplerate is 44.1

Try loading factory samples to the slots without changing anything. If it’s clean you know it’s your imports if distortion persists then you need to look at settings.

Bitrate is 24, right?

I personally have only tried WAV, so I can’t vouch for AIFF working well.

I would try turning off the time-stretch too. That tends to make samples sound worse IMHO.
