How many sounds/samples come with the octatrack mk2

Hi All -

Waiting for my OT in the mail, and I was wondering how many sounds/samples come pre-loaded with the OT?

Is there a list of the sounds available?

thx!

I just installed the mk2 factory sounds to my OT the other day. (I got my OT mk2 second hand, and it arrived with a blank CF card.) At any rate, there are about 6 GB of samples (drums, synths, loops, sample chains). A list wouldn’t be practical. Basically, there are a ton of samples, almost too many. You’ll have plenty of stuff to get started.

Wow, 6 Gig’s is a lot!!!

How’s the OT thus far?

Are there any single cycle waveforms?

I don’t think any come on the card, but there are plenty available here in the files section:

There’s also Ess’ cool tools for creating single-cycle waveforms:

I haven’t tried it myself, but I’m sure I will at some point. With something like the OT, single cycles are kind of down the priority list.

With that lovely filter, all the other OT fx, slide trigs, 3 lfos with lfo designer and neighbour tracks, single cycle waveforms should be high on the priority list^^ :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

You have a point there. Duly noted - I think I have a folder of single cycles to try out.

I noticed quite strange thing when revising the OT MK2 factory content - i.e. there’s quite a lot of samples (~100) that are not in 44.1khz (native format), with around half of that being 48khz and half in 96khz.
They’re all under ‘Origin Sound’ or ‘Loopmasters’ folders.
Looks like a weird omission given the OT cannot playback non-44.1khz files without changing it’s speed / length

The origin sound perc and tops folders are very good imo.

The origin sound snares folder is dominated by the exact type of snares I hate, which is light fluffy 808 type snares layered with an organic sound like a finger snap.
