Hi all, hope you are well. Been having Octatrack for nearly two years now and only recently started to get grip of its great functions, especially Arranger. But more I use it, more questions I have. And here is one of them.
I have a 64 step pattern. On steps 1 of scale 1:4 and step 1 of scale 3:4 I have a trig set which plays a pad sample which has following settings in AMP page - HOLD 32, REL - 108, VOL 0.
I used to set up Scene #1 so that amp volume is -64 and Scene #2 so amp volume is 0, so when I use cross-fader I could bring pad into mix a bit “off beat”…
I wanted to have similar done via automation in Arranger. so I program my arranger to be:
row 1 - A01, 01 - 48 Scene 1 (amp vol -64, so track is muted)
row 2 - A01, 48 -16 Scene 2 (amp 0, so track kicks in)
I can see that machine plays pad in the background but I can get it sound unless it is triggered by a trig. In other words, if I place a trig on step 1 of scale 4:4 - it all works, but that ruins my pattern as I would then have 3 trigs instead of 2.
Was wondering if someone ever came across workaround for such kind of issue?
Many thanks
