Is there a way to see which Sound (synth patch) is loaded in selected Track?
tap the track button.
Now I know I need to rename my patches with a unique names.
I had a generic names like Kick, Snare and I was confused.
Thanks.
I’ve gotten into the habit of always renaming the sound on track 1 to begin with the key that bank is in.
And where I can find the complete name, plus bank number (B012 for example) for an already loaded sound?
In addition, I would be interested even where the remaining 3250 sounds are. On the electron side you can read: “The over 4000 sounds …”
My A4 has 750 sounds …
You have around 4000 slots available to save Sounds…not that they supply you with that amount of patches!
You can create the remaining 3250 one by one or starting buying some really nice patches folders.
do you mean sounds of: Floppydisk Pirates?
And from Daren Ager too !!
DRUMA it’s really well done!
When i double tap the track button it doesnt show that tracks sound in the list. It shows the last sound that have been loaded on any of the 4 tracks.
tap one time…
I recommend coming up with a structure like this:
B01: Bass
B02: Stabs
B03: Chords
B04: Keys
…
Then you might always assign the same kind of sounds to the same tracks:
T1: Bass
T2: Stabs/Chords
T3: Leads
T4: Pads
To use polyphony optimally, set T1 to monophonic and have the poly channels spread across T2-T4.
This allows you to give useful names to your sound patches. I would call a patch something like:
C-AT-LFO-UNIQUENAME for a sound that sounds nice when playing it as a chord. AT means it has a slow attack, LFO means it evolves and BR means it’s a rather bright sound.
I’m trying this system to access sounds fast, but I also like giving unique fantasy name to the patches, so I know by heart what it is going to sound like.
And maybe you want to load your all time favourite patches into the pool for plocking.
Having a solid structure is key for jamming away fast and without thinking.
The same holds for the PERF pots: P1-4 are used for filter manipulation per track, P5 manipulates all filters and P6-10 modulate FX (chorus depth, delay length, etc.)
You might e.g. play a pattern and use PERF pots on the fly, record it and mangle it in OT… With me, it’s currently all the rage to record entire A4 patterns into a sliced recording sample on the OT, mix up the slices, run filter lfo and a fast-paced pitch lfo with low amplitude over it and record this to another track, play back at half the speed and use heavy OT delay while introducing new A4 elements… Gives excellent rhythm patterns and weird soundscapes.
thats REALLY good advice!
