New to this forum. Thanks for any responses to my query.
So, i have setup my octatrack with 8 pickup machines and i have midi pedal that is sending:
pedal 1: midi note 60(should start the loop and any overdubs, essentially rec 1 button)
pedal 2: midi note 64 (start the loop and stop overdubs, essentially rec 2 button)
pedal 3: midi note 68 (change active track down)
pedal 4: midi note 69 (change active track up)
My problem is that on track one, everything works fine. I then change the track using the 3rd pedal to track 2 and press record (midi note 60) and the track jumps back to overdubbing track one. Why can’t i record on the new track?
It’s been a while since I did this, it’s doable, but I forget the config considerations. There will be setup info buried in the pickup machine threads, might be worth browsing those in the meantime
I know this is years old, but if anyone is hunting the forum for this answer (like I was)…
My foot pedal wasn’t actually sending note info on 11 in all circumstances, so I was having the same annoying frustration where the active track would hop back to 1.
Digging through the pedal and and ensuring nothing but 11 was used solved the issue.
