My samples were not looping seamlessly. So I thought maybe my loops were recoded improperly meaning the recordings were not exactly 4 measures. It seems that was not the case because went back and recorded all-new loops. To test and fix the issue I recording them in the length of 64 beats so what would be 4 measures correct? I recorded them all from my Digitakt then exported them to Soundforge on my PC to make sure they were all proper length and looped back seamlessly which they did and then uploaded them to my OT removable memory card.
Just for clarity since the loops when triggered play at a length of 4 measures I only have the first trigger of the sequence initiate the loop. So then it should start playing the duration 64 beats and loop around to play again seemsly but its not doing that. Its all off beat and stuff. I did one thing and selected the loop to play from the 1st trigger of each measure so it plays 4 times in the 64 beat length which seemed to maybe fix it but idk it shouldn’t essitnally be skewing up like it is.
*Update Im running a few tests and have noticed a symptom of what I’m talking about. I’ll explain it I could try to upload a vid but that may take some time. For testing purposes, I’m working with a clap loop that hits on every Kick drum 4/4 64 beats long loop. On my Digitakt I have it trigger on the 1st trig to loop to play for its length of 4 measures then come around and loop again. On my Octatract I have the same clap sample loop start to play from the 1st trig. When they start to play the two samples sound slightly off beat from one another and as it continues to play for its length it starts to go even more off beat until it hits the 1st trigger and loops again with the same result every time it passes … starting off slightly off beat from one another to gradually becoming even more out of sync. They are the same exact samples triggering at the same exact point from my two Elektron machines. So I’m really baffled they should be playing seamlessly transposed over each other! To note… I had created a brand new project for testing this method so as far as I know no changes were made to any of the SRC, AMP, LFO pages or any of that… In fact I know how to reset the settings by holding them down and pressing clear… I’ve done this in the past multiple times trying to figure out why they play differently.
Here is a video to show you what’s happening you can see how the same sample that is looping on the OT kinda studders at the end of the sample or plays from a different start point. I check to make sure the loop start point was at 0 and length doesn’t seem to affect anything but I put it to max 128 and there was no change.
