High profile OT users?

This is interesting to me because there are moments when she’s playing a one off sample that has a rhythm over a bar or two, and it’s in time… They must have a metronome in their headphones right? Otherwise the drummer’s gotta get off just naturally.

I can’t find video atm, but dont forget Ryan from Youth Code and Jeff of Sleep Clinic. Both of them have been using the octatrack FOR DAYS

Not sure it’s been mentioned, but Laurel Halo talks a bit about using an OT here.

One of my favorites setups I seen

There’s an OT here, you can see it at about 1:20. I think it’s in Franck’s set up, I was hoping to see one on Mika’s side too but I don’t think so.

Fun fact, the drummer is my wife’s best friend. Julia is her name! She is extremely talented and plays with a lot of high profile acts here in Sweden…

They must be so confused, since he’s playing two of their brethren…

If his Instagram is any evidence, Franck is a big fan of the Octatrack. There’s quite a few posts which include it. https://www.instagram.com/franckvigroux/

It also looks like his set at Unravel was run primarily off the OT:

Wow! Thanks for sharing that. Would love to know exactly how he’s doing it. Almost sounds like he is playing stems and then able to jam/loop the synth. Sounds really good, even the squids would think so - haha!

For touring our latest record, Radiant Dawn , I’m employing the Elektron Octatrack , the Elektron Digitak , a Microkorg , Korg Electribe , Novation Bass Station and the A4 (in a demoted roll that makes me feel pangs of guilt and betrayal). Is this setup new and exciting? Sure. It certainly could have an article of its own someday. Do I miss my old table? Absolutely. I especially feel the absence of the A4 sequencer, the range of the Tempest drums, and the playability of the Minitaur. At the risk of sounding at best sentimental, and at worst, utterly inflexible, I’ll always unreasonably adore my original set up - it will always be the most expressly Operators configuration we’ll ever have.
