Hi guys,
Just wanted to introduce myself, i’ve been a member of the Elektron-users forum, to my surprise it’s completely locked down
I used to own an OT & an MD SPS-1 until my appartement got burglarized in 2012. Long story short, the burglar was eventually caught & convicted & he’s supposed to pay me back, whenever that’s gonna happen…
The authorities, Elektron.se & Elektron-users forum know of my predicament & the serial numbers of the stolen equipment have been signed on an European scale. Still, i would kindly ask everyone to keep a look out for 2nd hand Elektron stuff that’s being sold from Antwerp/Brussels Belgium region.
It might be my stolen equipment.
Anyway, i couldn’t live without my Elektron gear & bought myself a brand-new OT. No regrets Loving it more & more everyday…
I have some “noob-ish” questions though:
-
Although i love the “re-trigger” parameter, whenever you touch the knob & set a value it invokes this kind of sample-manipulation. But after you touch the knob i haven’t been able to reset this parameter below value “1”
My question is: how can i put the “re-trig” to value “0” after fiddling with the knobs? -
I’ve got an upcoming gig in Oktober & i’m trying to use the OT as a DJ deck. So far it’s working pretty good with some minor glitches.
Setting the BPM of songs works so far, but isn’t fail-proof…
For example: two songs on 128 BPM play in sync for the first few measures, but after a while they start to get out of syncAm i doing something wrong? Which time-stretch setting should i assign to the static-machine? (auto, beat, … )
Also this works pretty good if i set the master-BPM to the BPM of the used samples… but if i change it to … oh let’s say… 133 BPM, they get out of sync much easier.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
- As other forum members say… it’s adviceable to set & warp your songs with audio-software, get em to the right BPM & then manipulating them with the OT.
Is there any audio-software you could recommend for doing so?
(I’m using Audacity at the moment)
Kind regards,
J
