Hello Elektronauts,
Some years ago I started fooling around making music using software and found it a little overwhelming. Now I’ve decided to pick it up again by using hardware, of which the limitations work much better for me. I’ve bought the Octatrack and fiddled around with it for a couple of weeks, and I’m really liking it so far. I know I’ve only just scratched the surface.
Some time ago I also got a Volca FM. Now I’d like to sequence the Volca FM with the Octatrack, but I can’t seem to work it out. I’ve used the following tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vidFqwqbfxA
The difference between the video and my situation is that I have the Thru track on MIDI channel 15. Also, the sound from the Volca FM goes through input C + D. When I hit the keys on the Volca FM I can hear the notes, and also the C + D lights light up.
Now here is the problem I’m facing. When I press the very first button on the step sequencer of the OT, it plays a note of the Volca FM. But pressing the rest of the buttons, I don’t hear a sound. Does anybody know what I’m doing wrong?
I know there are plenty of topics on the subject of MIDI sequencing with the OT, but I could not yet find my answer. I hope you don’t mind my newbie question and can help me out. It would be much appreciated! I’ll be checking out this forum often since I’m eager to discover the many options of the Octatrack!
