OT MK 1 Live Sampling Not Working

Then you’ll have to mount that set I guess and load or create a project there.

If you want to continue your work, load it into the AUDIO folder of your current set.

Will be much easier to have everything in the audiopool (saved samples go there by default).

ok. Yes, that did it. Thanks. Now… I shall try the Live sample recording. Maybe that was the problem after all… having multiple Set folders…

Got your samples now? Can you access them and load onto a machine?

Sampled stuff is saved in the AUDIO folder by default, other option is saved in the project folder within the AUDIO folder.
*Edit or could be the projects folders are within the set folder, not 100% sure…

So if you are in another set, you won’t find samples from a previously mounted set in the AUDIO folder there.

Yes, I can access all the samples from all the folders.

This was important for me when I first set things up. I save my recording to the project folder, so they correspond to the track I’m working on.
Thanx @Schnork. I was stumped there for a minute.

Thanks ThoughtZ, I had is backasswards with the disk/files mixup.

sorry but this IS rocket science… All the long-suffering premature-selling OT Owners out there… (which includes me at one time).

It’s a thing with the OT. I just recently upgraded to 64 gig card and rearranged a 3 year mess I had made, so everything is where I need it. It’s like taking a bubblebath while drinking fine wine after that.

Did you ever get sampling to work, in reference to the original post?

Just retrying the direct sampling now, while i have some time.

Looks like the Live sampling is working now!
Found the needle in the haystack next to the 4 leaf clover.

It was always working, you just didn’t understand how it was working.

You’ll figure it all out…how the OT is designed, how the OS works and everything, the whole concept - it makes sense! There’s an underlying logic, even the button combos make really sense if you think about it.

Idk, but maybe Elektron should invite real astronauts to their berlin office and let them figure out sampling on the OT as a promotion event^^

I think one of the culprits was what Shnork said, I had a trig or something on the Rate setting under Playback that was not sounding. I turned it all the way clockwise

I agree about the logic and layout of the Elektrons. I have MDM, MNM, A4 mk2, A Rytm, and this OT-1, they all coincide, and the Logic is evident. I often wondered how they did this so well. i think they must have written the manuals after the machines were built, to be honest.

hmm. now back to not working… Live sampling , Damn just had it too. When i moved onto the other recording buffer tracks… I did the same thing, but no sound playback… Where is the sample I just recorded?

Go to a new bank and try it again.

new bank OK will try

If you know how to navigate your OT drive find it…unlss you moved it when you were in usb mode.


This is where is was.
