I’ve been wondering why the OT is poor at one of it’s marketed points, using it as a dj device…
So, you have 2 tracks, they are properly set up in the attributes menu, and start playing them both.
And then you touch the rate knob. Oh, back to start point. (slices can be used, but are not practical for a great number of tracks, or for everchanging material) So ok, back from the start, but the first track is fading, what now? Quickly try to save the loop?
And there is a solution! A dedicated machine used for playback, with effects that are optimised to that end… (easy looping of material, beat skipping, track position seeking, effects that do not interfere with the song position, or return to the intended one when turned off)
For example, the play page could consist of A: Pitch, B: loop length, C: loop on/off,
D : Rate E: Beat skip backward (by the loop length ammount) F: Beat skip forward.
Both rate and loop would return the playhead to the song position that would be playing, if they werent used in the first place, when turned off.
This would enhance the experience of djing a great deal, without using some fingerbreaking combos for a loop, and removing the worry of tracks going out of sync.
