Might be useful… EZBOTs take on all three of the machines

If you go the OT route and want to avoid adding too much cognitive load, you could start of by just looking at it like a dj mixer that allows you to morph between different FX settings, that also has a simple mastering chain (eg EQ and compression)
Even if you disregard all of the live sampling wizardry it has a lot of utility.

You can do what you want.

Thanks for the replies. In case I finally buy it my idea is to use the OT to manipulate/remix the audio from my tracks coming in from the DT2 and TV audio outputs rather than using it as a mixer, FX device or sequencer.
Would make sense to expend all that money learning time and rig space on set just for this purpose?
Buy a shit hot midi controller instead, like Neuzeit Drop.
Basically, buy Drop.

Enjoying this topic a lot, regardless of whether you get an OT or not 
Fun stuff to think about for live performance. Personally with OT/TV/DTII I think the combo of any two of them would be terrific, I just wouldn’t use all three very often, but that’s me. Just gives me too many opportunities to mess up my set I sold my OT to help fund my TV and have no regrets for what I was trying to do, but I often wish I could afford/justify both for days I want to experiment with the some of the OT’s crazy possibilities. My current live setup is TV/ST/H90/Specular Tempus and it’s been dreamy for me. Reasonably simple with tons of options

Wow, that looks like an amazing midi controller, also checked the new OXI one but that would be another direction to take, can not have OT, TV, DT2 and a midi controller all together. That indeed would be too much gear to deal with on stage. Thanks for the info!
It makes sense to me.
Might not to you or anyone esle… subjective innit.
False. ‘Sound quality’ goes out the window depending on what mixer/PA/speakers your gear ends up going through. Octatrack is transparent- what you put in, is what you get out.

How would you use it on this set up( OT,TV,DT2)?
I mean just as midi clock or using midi channels…
Routing…
Just for mangling audio… I ask cause I never used it and it’s a big investment, thanks
That sounds like a dope set up. Didn’t know that pedals, but just checked and they are looking great, it’s a r clever way to use your other body articulations to manipulate audio rather than rely just on your hands.
That might be the problem for me if I deal with 3 machines. My thoughts are similar to yours when you say that 3 devices can be tricky and easy to mess up the set. Maybe just really concentrating on TV and DT2 it’s easier to don’t mess it up. I can’t tell cause I never had the OT.
Since you had the OT, can it make smooth chopping and remixing audio live from TV and DT2 without sounding harsh?
Thanks
Depends on who you ask! I struggled to get consistent results and not make catastrophic errors. But someone like EZBOT sails through this stuff. I’ve enjoyed using OT on it’s own for experimental sessions, sample that stuff and place it into a more simplified state for live stuff. Many smarter folks have made amazing use of the OT live and I’ve certainly done some things with it live that I couldn’t do any other way, but I feel ‘safer’ with my current setup. Another thing worth noting is that the TV (in my opinion) has the best sound quality by a very noticable margin. That means a lot to me for live work

OT as master clock.
DT and TV audio into OT.
Set up 1 track as through for DT, and 1 track for TV.
Set up track recorders to record DT And TV seperately.
Have flex machines that can play back those track recorders.
Have fx to suit. Make scenes to modify fx, blend between live audio and captured loops.
Have no program change so can freely switch patterns on any machine at any time.
Mix and match and jam out.
Standard OT use I think. Nothing special really.

I skimmed the responses above so sorry if I’m recommending something already said but have you considered a DJ mixer? One stereo channel for the DT and the other for the TV.

You don’t need an Oxi one for a 2 device set up. Especially if one of them is already Elektron.
Also, why 3 samplers with no synthesis?

Some folks like samplers

They’re 3 completely different samplers, and the TV has synthesis, it’s just sample based.

actually some kind of perf mode is coming to tonverk i think. so no. 3 samplers ? why there’s too much overlap, actually my set up is digitone 2+syntakt into tonverk + kaosspad nts3 ( not sure where to put the nts3 in the signal chain ).i may replace the nts with a polyend mess.i write braindance like stuff on the setup and plan to play it live soon. with 3 samplers you will be more playing stems written elsewhere but who knows…( i still own octatrack mk1 and played live last year with it )

I’d see no reason to own a DT2 or OT if the Tonverk had slicing and timestretch.
