Hi everyone,
I’ve had my MK.II for 2 weeks now and I’m absolutely loving it!
Looking forward to being part of this community.

Welcome! I’ve been putting off learning mine for 2 years now. I just started watching your YouTube videos yesterday. Good stuff. Keep it up!

Apart from the reverb which is acceptable but not great, I love the sound.

…once ur muscle memories start to fly, u will love it even more…
but be warned…dunno about ur personal muscle memory conditions, but if they’re a little wonky, don’t stop to work with it…if u pause for more than three month, many many little tweaks and twerks need a serious relearning curve all over the places…

Welcome here and I wish you the best for learning this incredible instrument 
If you ever encounter some blocks, know that we all have, and there are plenty of ressources here to get some knowledge or workflows, and discover new ways!

Welcome @DaddyLongLes
1400 videos on your channel ! 
Suscribed.
As you play different instruments, I’d encourage you to explore Recorders / Flex power. OT has been created from Machinedrum RAM machines, so I think it is its raison d’être as written in the MKI manual.
Possible to create a hole orchestra from incoming instruments, unfortunately I didn’t see much videos on that, if any, except mines! Seems pedantic for sure, but I’d be glad to see more videos of this way of using OT ! (Sequenced recorders, sequenced Flex with various plocks). And also CUE resampling with feedback, in order to create very unusual fx !

Thank you for the sub! I’ll bear your comments in mind. I definitely want to try recording some instruments into it. You’re right - it’s an amazing machine!
Thank you for your kind welcome. I have now recorded 4 videos on the OT2 - all for beginners of course! If nothing else, these videos will serve as an aide memoire for myself! 
Very best wishes

Some of my posts are also aide memoire for myself here. 
I am talking about realtime mangling of incoming audio, using recorders, and Flex to manipulate recorded audio chunks (example in my link above). Not beginner friendly, but I think it worth a try, I don’t know other hardware that can do that. And fun to play !
I think you can create a thread about it in Octatrack category ! And post videos in, so people can ask / react…
