Learning the Fader

[garryj]

After 15 months of ownership, I decided to learn the Fader !!! Ha ha. The Octatrack has been so good, that i’ve ignored this for now. And this is a whole new thing now

Current setup: Octatrack MKII, Akai MPC One, Moog subharmonicon, 2 x behringer neutrons

Not a question, just an announcement I love this machine more than any other !!!

I suppose the question is… what did you folk learn to use later on that you wished you had learned at the start ???

The Octatrack is basically one “eureka!” moment after another, my most recent being to use banks as individual work benches for different purposes. I use one just for single shot drums. Another for loop slicing and mangling. Setting up another right now for processing live incoming audio. It’s definitely been a tedious but rewarding machine to work with.

Previously on Elektronauts:

What do you wish you knew when you first started using the OT?

For partly selfish reasons, I think we should have a thread not about general tips and tricks, but about those time-saving workarounds that you wish you knew about when you first bought the Octatrack. In other words, what are some features you use now that would have made your learning curve easier if you’d known about it then?

What are some OT features you wished you have found earlier

Hello dear Elektronauts! I got my OT this week and I am super happy with it. The learning curve was way flatter then expected and i already made severall beats using the OT only. I red Merlins Guide and watched a little bit of Cuckoos videos but I feel that got down the basic features already so here comes my question: What are some OT features that you missed in the beginning and just found out after some weeks/months/years? Maybe give me something out of the box knowledge that will help me…
