I’m am a new Octatrack user. I created part one with percussion, vocal, bass and rhodes samples (all flex machines). I made sure I saved the tracks. I then created part two with percussion, vocal and bass samples (all flex machines). I made sure I saved the tracks. When I went back to track one, my bass tonalities had changed and I could not bring them back. I probably changed the bass settings from part one to part two which I thought was doable. So I am back to square one on one part one again. I erased the bass tracks on part one. I don’t know why this occurred. I’ve already completed one project with 4 parts even though I had problems. Still learning and yes I have read the manual.
Hard to tell what is the problem, what you did.
What do you mean by “saved my tracks” ?
You can save Project, Banks, Parts, Samples, Sample Settings. You can’t save tracks.
These wtf moments are normal at first. So I’d move on and be more carefull next time…

Thank you for your response. I saved the project before I opened part two. As I mentioned, I probably used a different bass slice in part two and opened the chromatic area to put down a new bass line in part two. I saved the project again and went back to part one where I found my pattern for the bass remained but the settings had changed. The bass sound in part one was way different (lower). I was unable to get the sound back in part one so I deleted the track for the bass. Wtf aptly describes the frustration lol. I saw a different topic where the response was to change to track for the bass to avoid interference.
Part/pattern confusion?
I had mine with part changes !
Within a song, I avoid part change between patterns if I just change a sample on the same track, and I use sample locks (hold a trig + Level to select sample).
