Greetings Elektronauts. I started live looping with my OT mkii the other day but have been have the reoccurring problem of pickup machine recordings not playing after breaks/stops. They only play after the initial recording. I will select “AED” and can still view the recordings, but I have to re-record just to keep my loops moving. What can I do to make sure the recordings always playback on my pickup machines? I cannot place triggers on pickup machines so I am lost. I would appreciate the help greatly! Thanks so much!
You can play them again with RECCD/REC2 (check QREC and QPLAY settings).
With Track + Tempo you can sync a Pickup track to play it when you press Play.
You can play the Pickup recordings with Flex.

Thank you for that! It syncs the pickup machine but only one track at a time for me. Is there a way to have 2 or more pickup machines sync/play back everytime as a loop?
It syncs the Master Pickup only.
Track recorders + Flex, or…don’t stop!
Thanks for the clarification sezare56. Might you have any alternative suggestions for someone like me who would like to track say 2-3 synths into AB-CD and loop live? While being able to pause and repeat with all tracks playing in sync? I would greatly appreciate any tips you might have!
Yes. It’s above, Recorders + Flex.
You can quantize recordings with REC SETUP 2 > QREC

Could you maybe explain Track recorders + Flex to me? I am not sure what track recorders are unfortunately. I would love to try this method out if you would kindly summarize for me. Thanks again!
Track recorders are also used for Pickups! But I that case they are linked to the track / machine. Check the manual for more details.
You have access to 8 recorders, 1 per track.
You can find their recordings in the slots RECORDING 1-8 of Flex slots.
You can activate recorders with the 3 Rec buttons (Quantize in REC SETUP 2), or with rec trigs in REC SETUP 1 (you can use One Shot rec trigs).
Play the recordings with a Flex machine, with corresponding RECORDING 1-8 slot.
The recordings can be played on any track, any step. Not simple, practice needed.
Monitoring with DIR, a Thru track. Also possible to monitor with the Flex with rec trigs > pattern change to stop recording.
(Not a tutorial, just giving an idea of possibilities).
