Ok, friends. I got a new CF card (64Gb sandisk) and was thinking about how to organize the samples and this thread seems like a great place to ask advice and maybe see how others organize their samples.
Ideally, I’d like to focus on building blocks and essential sound design elements. But I’m not sure what should be in sample chains or single segments.
I guess I should also spill the beans about how I use the OT lately, like others in the thread.
T1: Thru - Digitone/modular/minilogue (DN is the most used)
T2: Thru - Digitakt
T3: Flex - For recording T1/T2/T8 and saving to static slot
T4: Static - No default sample, I just p-lock the samples.
T5: Static - Tuned sample chain
T6: Static - Tuned sample chain
T7: Static - Kick
T8: Master - Compression and reverb
I prefer the OT as a sequencer for the digitone, which I mostly use as a synth engine, but I do all the digitakt patterns on its own sequencer. I keep the kick on T7 regardless because I want to honor and respect the beat.
So, to reiterate, how do you organize your CF card? What are your favorite samples for building from scratch and what samples are essential other regards?
