Octatrack automated sampling and replay on the fly?

@thoughtstarZ

how long will the loop have to be on the OT so that will loop correctly(until it repeats)? Is there a math equation polyrhythms?

Depends on Ot’s pattern length. It can 3 steps, or 48 steps if you want whole bars. Here is a calculator :

Elektron Octatrack: Track Trigs/Multiplier to Master Length Calculator

If you’ve spent any time with an Elektron Octatrack, you’ve invariably used polymeter’s at some point. And once you begin using the track TEMPO MULTIPLIER, calculating the pattern MASTER LENGTH can become tricky. So I wrote a simple script to work it out for me. I guess this might be useful to more people that just myself, so decided to share a page: to work out each pattern’s MASTER LENGTH in a simple, Octatrack centric way.
