ok, I’m going to write them off the top of my head, I am constantly sampling thru machines so I will just tell you that method, obviously, there are different ways to sample
In this case, I will use track 1 as a thru machine with input AB so that I can hear everything coming in those inputs…I have track 2 playback the recording buffer live and then save that sample from there.
track 1, set it up as thru machine and under playback set INAB to A B
also, I like to place a trig on 1 so that it automatically starts track 1, in grid record mode drop trig on the 1 and press play (you can start the track manually without doing that of course)
now, you should hear anything you have plugged into AB playing over the OT, the AB lights will light up accordingly to the audio signal
next, set the track recorder up on track 1, hold function and press record A…B, this should bring up page 1 of recorder setup, set INAB and INCD to - and SRC3 to T1, you can use TRIG ONE2 so you can manually start/stop recording, RLEN is how many steps, set that to whatever you want and MAX will go as long as there is memory if you have that set up in preferences, LOOP ON is fine, now hold function and press record C…D, FIN and OUT to 0.0653 will clip any pops at the beginning and end of recording, EXIT/NO and your recorder is set up
next on track 2, I set it to flex machine, R1+RECORDING1, what this will do is play the recording buffer of track1, don’t forget to drop a trig on the 1 so that it just starts playing automatically when that trig is hit, like above you can technically start tracks manually and just have them continue playing
you should now see a little play icon below T on track 1 and F on track 2, you should also be hearing any sound coming in from input AB on track 1
to record is simple, hold down T1 and press MIDI, that starts the recording, another hit on MIDI would stop it, when you do that you should see a little + in front of the play icon, this means it is recording…if you instead set to sample the inputs directly you can hold T1 and hit the source you want AB for example
track 2 should start playing back the recording as soon as the trig hits on 1, keep in mind it will start at the beginning every trig
to save that recording you can hold track 2 and hit bank, that should bring up a waveform of the recording, hit effect2 which is FILE, scroll to save and assign sample, it allows you to change name, then select assign to free static, this will drop the sample into a static slot
you may now select that sample and do what you like with it…hopefully I got everything, I’m going off the top of my head and muscle memory…also, keep in mind there are several different ways to go about it…for example, you could set your recorder to sample directly from inputs AB instead of the track, that is done on the recorder setup under INAB, INCD and SRC2…you could use one-time recorder trigs, etc etc…
one of these days I will get some video going, could do it in video in less than a minute heh…there are shortcuts and faster/different ways to do individual things…I just wanted to give you one path that should get you going as far as sampling straight to the OT for later use
