guess what, I’m back with more questions
first of all I have to say, I’ve been thinking about my workflow on the OT, and I do realize that almost every time, I record tracks live by using the trig keys - so velocity sensitve pads would make a lot of sense for me.
I also really like working with one-shot samples, adding percussion elements as I go, based on what I’m hearing - on the OT this can be somewhat frustrating as I can run out of tracks fast, ie. having independent tracks for closed/open hihats ( I do use sample chains - always - but having no polyphony on tracks makes it a bit limiting for me sometimes, specially on percussion layers, sounds with tails… another point for MPC - wich I know doesn’t do sample chains or anything like that, but having 16 pads/tracks instead of 8 might fit my worflow a lot better - and I’m not even considering the 64 stereo voice polyphony, wich is ridiculously high imo)
so, my questions:
- can you easily duplicate the length of a track in a sequence in real time? I really like that on the OT - say you have a 16-step pattern, you want to make it 64 steps to add a detail on the 4th bar… I guess it should be, but anyway.
- one-shots are always polyphonic? ie. can I layer the same sample in diferent tunings overlaping themselves?
- I still don’t fully understand the new clip tracks, I mean… what would be the limitation if I want to use a long melodic sample that loops in an audio track?
- I think this is unclear so far, but do we know how many octaves we can transpose a sample in chromatic mode (I think it’s called levels on MPCs)?
- another aspect in wich it might be way better than the OT: is it easy to create a “setlist”? in the OT, if I want to mix one track from a project with one in another project… well, I don’t.
