Hey guys,
Hoping someone here has some ideas on this.
Our live setup currently entails me with an OT and A4, and then my drummer uses a Roland Octapad. He does a combination of loops on the Octapad that he fades in and out / manipulates plus some live playing.
Here’s the challenge:
As far as we can tell there’s no way to change “Phrase Loops” on the Octapad (their equivalent of patterns/songs) without stopping playback on the Octapad. But I’d like to be able to do a continuous set, chaining from one song to another without stopping.
My question:
- If anyone knows the Octapad, can you confirm there’s no way to change without stopping?
- On the Octatrack, is there a way to send a midi start signal in a sequence? Basically, if he has to stop I can just resample him and mute his input, then he can stop and change songs. But then we’d need to send a new start signal when the next song started.
