Hey guys, hope you’re doing well. 
I recently started a series of jams that revolve heavily around the Octatrack and the Digitakt so I thought some of you might be interested. There are only 3 jams right now but I’m trying to release a new one every week. Anywayyy, here they are :
I’ll update the thread as I go but you can also find the dedicated playlist here. Hope you’ll like it!
Groovy. 
Really nice. I like the examples of live sampling you showed here.
Hey thanks a lot for listening. 
very cool!!
Very cool - would love to see a breakdown of the routing - though get you might now want to give away your secrets!
i agree
I do make breakdown videos for my Patreon but not on Youtube I’m afraid (and I actually didn’t break down that specific setup yet, even on Patreon). That said I don’t care talking about the setup at all, there are no secrets really!
The setup is pretty simple, the turntable signal goes into the Octatrack and the outputs of the Octatrack go into my audio interface. All the other sounds are from the Digitakt and recorded onto separate tracks in Logic thanks to Overbridge. MIDI-wise, the Keystep sends MIDI to the DT and the DT sends MIDI to the OT.
The heavy lifting is done by the Octatrack, which records the turntable signal on the fly. The trick is to record into a pre-sliced recording buffer. That way I can play the slices as soon as the recording is over (even before actually) by using a flex machine. In the last one (“Everblue”) I even use several flex machines playing from the same recording buffer, that way I can have several instances of the slices but with different settings (pitched differently, some playing in reverse, etc.). To access the slices from the Keystep and the Digitakt, I use one of the features introduced in the latest OT update, the MIDI Trig Modes<3
All the sequencing is done on the Digitakt, even for the sample chops. I record the data from the Keystep on the Digitakt MIDI tracks, and the Digitakt forwards those notes to the Octatrack. I do this because I like the DT sequencer better (the mutes are more musical, the quantization more flexible) and it’s easier to have all the mutes on one machine. For effects and movement I use the OT crossfader and the Keystep knobs that I assigned to various stuff. The usual MIDI shenanigans!
And that’s pretty much it. As I mentioned above, most sounds are recorded onto separate tracks in my DAW which allows me to refine the mix afterward. I also add reverb/delay in Logic, and finally I “master” the whole thing with Ozone 9.
Heyyy, I just released a new jam :
This one’s kinda weirddd, anyway hope you’ll like ittt<3
Hey, here’s a new episode if anyone’s interested! :
