robin:

figured out an alternative

Use 2 recorders.

robin:

(presumably because you can’t read and write from the same address at the same time?)

You can read current recording at the same time but play back can’t be faster.

by “address” i was referring to the memory address within the buffer, not the buffer itself.

of course i know you can play back from a currently recording buffer.
the fact that playback can’t be faster (well it can, as long as you make sure the read and write pointers don’t meet) is exacly what i meant.

care to elaborate?

If you alternate 2 recorders recording 4 steps for instance, you can alternately playback the 2 recordings on a FLEX (sample locks) and mangle them quicky as soon their recording is finished…playing a buffer while another one is recorded…

I’m surprised people are still posting to this. I thought the OT was maxed out, and perhaps a final update to address whatever bugs they could one last time may be in the future.

If they’d ever want to go for broke, and it were possible to make an option to record parameter changes using the crossfader during playback would set this instrument into that category on a whole new level.

I love twiddling knobs, but if I could p-lock using the fader, UGGGHH!!!
I’m going to go blow out some candles on this wish

because sometimes you get answers as great as the post above you

(thx @sezare56)

Possible to record crossfader movements, and plock its values with midi loopback.

LFO to track scale

Specular-D · 2024-05-05T14:16:17.394Z

Please update grid slicing to include multiples of three and five… pretty please with sugar on top xxx

Ulysses · 2024-05-05T14:31:57.865Z

Or grid slicing locked to scale track/track length TSTL ON/OFF

Wubderbar · 2024-05-06T19:47:34.987Z

Y’all want to turn the OT into a DT and vice versa.

mrcrappypantson · 2024-05-06T21:44:57.989Z

Does the DT have direct jump?

forest · 2024-05-07T13:05:41.447Z

can DT modulate track scale?

Hermanez · 2024-05-07T16:59:44.535Z

A simple option to select samples and merge/save them to a new single sample with created slices.

claraoscura · 2024-07-25T07:34:42.935Z

Hold Midi and then select a track, to go directly to that midi track, without leaving the 8 audio tracks in front. I don’t like the Midi tracks are like a different entity.

Something in the menu like Midi: Normal or Direct. Direct mode you hold midi and select the track you want to go, you will be in that midi track, but be able to mute, unmute, select the audio tracks, without having to press midi again. Something life a shift or func button would work.

Route any audio track to a specific neighbourhood track, not only the next. That would be amazing. Like if T8 is the master, make T7 a send.

An in-chainer.

pattern reload
[not to be confused with part reload]

Leonsarmiento · 2024-07-25T11:51:56.596Z

Pattern reload
Swing per track

Specular-D · 2024-07-27T12:09:12.487Z

The Slice Grid to be able to select 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 etc slices, instead of being stuck in the rigid 4x4 of 4, 8, 16, 32 etc

You’ve created machines that can run on all sorts of poly structures, please, please update slices to do the same.

Blasted_pingin · 2024-07-27T12:29:23.471Z

Isn’t swing already do able per track?

Leonsarmiento · 2024-07-27T15:57:31.040Z

You’re totally right.
