Hi there, so I’m working with an OT for a few weeks now. what I can say is that I’m very happy with the machine itself but here and there I do have the feeling that my sound is to static. of course it takes a lot of time to know how to deal with issues, but I would really like to know what you do to bring the samples alive. I would like to have more space between sounds and patterns. What I’m doing so far is:
Playing random samples
Create longer samples; slice them and set the LFO for the start-parameter to random
Polyrhythm
…well, takes it time but we know what to expect
Live-Record
Of course I do get crazy sounds out of a sample when recording the knob-tweaks. but then these steps repeat and loose the effect because of repetition. how to deal with it, what workflow do you recommand?
P-Lock
Same here, crazy results and interesting stuff, but how to avoid a repetition of the new sounds?
I’m excited about your strategies and workflows. I do know that there is not one way to learn this machine, but I’m always happy to hear how different the OT can be used.
thanks!
