The Ultimate is 128x128 ! Who will do it first ?

The limit is the amount of slices available on a sample - afaik its 64.
I don’t have an Octatrack any more but I think that was the case anyway. On that note, any UK peeps interested in trading my Analog Keys for an OT? 
Start mode = 128 start positions.
Sorry but I’m in Brittany, a bit too far, and I have an A4. But I hope you’ll have another Ot to find other excellent tricks !
Megabreak of Dooom is not dead !
RATM vs BBoys, 2x4 loops imported, 8x8 Megabreak made in OT, 8 trigs, 8 slices.
2 drum loop samples added.
Test with 16 acid TB303 loops, 8 trigs x 16 slices, crossfader only.

These are both pretty sick! I love mashups, this was a good one.

I’m working again on a Megabreak generator in OT only, with the ability to convert CF card loops or real-time recording loops.
I’d like to know what are your preferences concerning number or loops vs loop length, as I’d like to do different templates…
- Regular tempo : 16 x 1 bars loops, 8 x 2 bars loops, 4 x 4 bars loops
- Tempo / 2 : 32 x 1 bars loops, 16 x 2 bars loops, 8 x 4 bars loops
Etc…
Example with 8 x 1 bar loop, 8 x 1/8th slices.
If anyone understand something, let me know ! 
4 patterns needed to record :

I’ve only started using the megabreak technique recently and I’ve begun creating my own recently with the help of software. I’d love a way to do it with the OT only, if it was simple enough. I’ve only used 16 x 1 bar so far.

can you explain a bit more? (tu déchires!)

What in particular ? I’m still working on it on the Octatrack with but it is VERY complicated. As I have headaches (even without Megabreak) it doesn’t help. I want to make everything work before further explanations.

Your favourite thread I guess
If I succeed, maybe, like for Triggering Slices, but I think I enjoyed more Metronome thread.
All I can say is that Status on Overbridge is not my favorite.

We have something in common

Ok it works. Not really satisfied yet because I had a lot of bugs with part changes and recorders. Solved sometimes by replacing a trig by a new one with same parameters. 
If there’s something wrong a the record shorter you loose the slices. You have to revert to saved file or do power cycle.
I’ll do it again with a new project.

So it works pretty well with 8 x 1 bar.
I can play live with crossfader for 8 bars or 8 tracks, arm all recorders, get 8 recordings, and it is automatically matrixed with the Arranger.

just as a reminder for new in this page, you have a matrix generator for a first easy (lol @sezare56) version of megabreak of doom on this octachainer https://ticticelectro.com/2017/08/26/octachainer-v1-3/
But Sezare you give us new ideas so I have to follow your headache for now…
dammit
new megamegabreak to understand …
The four boards you drawed are to use one after the other to obtain the result ?
Or are they differents solutions ?
What is the difference with a classic megabreak as the octachainer can create ?
Have fun in England bro
If I told you, it wouldn’t be a secret anymore would it?

Thats the 4 mains steps to obtain mega samples. It can be done with 4 patterns with the Arranger. The first 8 recording can be done in any way. No difference in the result, except it can be recorded live.

I said it was a secret, not a problem if it is not.
I remember this being a ballache to set up, and I was using Ableton so I could actually see what was going on and keep track of things. Best of luck to any of you doing it without visual cues
Ps anyone want to swap an AK for an OT?
