I made a drum chain, laid down all my drum tracks, but I forgot to pan them… is there a fast way to pan… say for example trig 2 pans left, so I can affect all trig 2 of the same drum sample? with out having to individually doing over 100 trigs.
No but you can copy and paste a trig or a page or use the lfo. 100 trigs? How long could that take anyway? Maybe 2 minutes of your life
No need to be rude, I’m just asking.
You should indeed be able to copy a trig that is panned like you want, and paste it on several places at the same time. It should be relatively quick.

On the computer or in a new bank or project, pan the individual drum samples how you want them and save or record new samples with the panning bakd in. Then in your old project, swap the panned versions in for the originals.
If you don’t want to mess with copying and pasting trigs, it’s another way to do it.
BUT, it isn’t a good idea if you think you’ll be changing the balance on the amp page later, because the Octatrack doesn’t have actual panning all tracks are always stereo and there’s a balance control. So if the sample you’re using already has pannign baked in and thenyou adjust the balance in the opposite direction, you’ll end up losing volume.

it’s not what you’re looking for, but remember you can hold down multiple trigs and lock parameters for them all at once. between that, cutting and pasting trigs, pages, and patterns… it shouldn’t take you too terribly long to accomplish this.
