I feel I should already know the answer to this, but

Elektron Gear Octatrack

…I just wanted to check what the best working practice is for using the same base sample multiple times in Octatrack? With totally different loop settings and such.

Are the sample settings saved per flex track (and therefore per part)? So for example I put vocal sample X into flex track 1, and edit two loop points into it via AED. If I then load the the same sample X into flex track 2 and edit in 3 entirely different loop sections, will it undo the original loops on flex track 1?

Or do I have to save a copy of the master sample and rename each time I want a new set of conditions for that original file?

Feel dumb for having to ask!

Nice idea for a thread… do you mind if I add a new question?

Mine is: are the global settings like midichannels and personalisation settings saved per project or per set?

#4

Project. In fact a lot of the midi stuff can be done per part

#5

PERSONALIZE settings are effective for all projects, all sets, even with a new card.

Thanks, I had noticed these are shared among projects, but didn’t know these were that global…

Here’s my feel like I should know question-

I’m looking for a new cf card. I should probably avoid the sandisk extreme 64gb card, that’s shipping from Hong Kong for 19.99 right?

#8

Why would you?

#9

I use this one and it works fine, as long as it is genuine, I guess

Yeah that’s my concern-are they fake ones or legit.

I think I’ll just go with something uk based and pay the extra!

“why would you avoid…” But sorry. I didn’t understand you were questioning the genuineness of the card. I thought if you should avoid a 64gb card. Which is a natural “why would you?” :slight_smile:

Ahh sorry. Yeah it was about the genuineness of the cards.

I guess the adage ‘if it’s too good to be true’ should really be adhered to here!

Good to know! Still just getting on with it, and figured it would as the manual said up to 64GB.
