Looks like you’re making progress! But it also looks like you really don’t know what any of the parameters do. While there’s a lot of merit in experimenting until you can make something confidently, I suggest you keep reading the guides so you can get a grasp on how those settings you’re tweaking affect the sound (particularly regarding LFO settings and routing).

Agree I am doing both since experimentation is fun and not stressing or anything. I have the manual on my ipad and computer and find have to read it several times and still come back to it.
I understood almost everything the first day with MD, after 3 years with OT. Pretty sure the opposite couldn’t be true, but there are many things in common.

MD as in Machine Drum? MD is the easiest of them all.

TM1 is the easiest ! 
DT seems easy too. 
I think all of us would be better off to stop looking at and posting on this thread and just go practice…

Would be nice! But I guess most of us can freely use the internet at work… bringing gear might get me in a bit of a problem sooner or later.

Your halfway there!
I actually dig that drum groove you got going, nice one…
But yeah, like @pselodux says, you probably want to read some more, it will save you time…
When selecting fx you were on the setup pages changing things, you need to exit out of those to get to the main fx pages. The setup pages more control how the effect behaves, but you actually employ the effect on the main pages, most of them have a mix or send knob on the main page and if you don’t turn that up you won’t even hear them, and the setup parameters won’t do anything…
If the Octatrack was easy it would be boring! Imagine one knob that does it all(we could call that aTrumpatrack)

I’m picturing a rig in a briefcase with it open so the back is vertical on your desk blocking people’s view, so it looks like your hard at work, but there’s an OT in there…

Pron ok, but I am never on FB! 
Was actually more thinking about fitting in a DT or OP1 on my desk in between screens, somehow, somewhere. Visable but not intruding the space
