Octatrack Arranger - Help

mmkato · 2015-02-26T01:04:04.000Z

I’m having a hard time finding an answer to this, not even in the manual…

In the arranger, I have a row starting from step 49 and ending and 64, followed by another row with a different pattern.

The problem is that the first row, once starting from 49, goes to step 64 and then loops back to step 1, and then plays till 48 before going to the next row. I want this row to only play 49-64, and then IMMEDIATELY move to the next row, instead of looping back and playing 1-49 before switching.

It’s driving me nuts, how do I do this?

I use the offsets a lot in the arranger to do what you’re talking about.

How I would do it is set A1, Row 000 offset by 49, with the length at 15. Then program pattern A2 in Row 001. My guess is that you’ve changed the offset, but not the length, which is causing the pattern to loop back.

This is one of those Octatrack moments where I switch erratically between feelings of joy, and shamefulness at my stupidity.
THANK YOU Accent, you nailed it!

Glad to help! You can get really creative using the length parameter and offset for chopping up patterns. I do it a lot with the MD and MNM as well, creating fills and such.

I can definitely see that. I’ve had my OT for a long time, and am just now getting into the Arranger. Thanks again for the help!
