Octatrack Live Sampling Tricks

I use it too :

I did a few things experiencing realtime playing pitch effects (Timestretch off, with a guitar) and simple tricks can be used to stay before the real position of recording, and keep realtime playing :

Pitch down : Pitch = - 12, for exemple, at the beginning of playing
Reverse : Rate - 63, after a while because you can’t play the end of nothing

Lfos on pitch, with Saw, Tri…Normal play, other pitch values, 7 is 1.5x normal play, - 5, etc…you can mess it with random Lfos or random values, but you can calculate it to return to a sync normal playing.

Some people even control recordings with Ot’s midi tracks, randomly.
Pickups can be interesting for layering long pads.
A lot to say and experiment !
