So hai first time and all, I’ve had this octatrack for the longest time but due to life circumstances over the years I’ve had less and less time to make music and forgot most. Reread the manual, as usual most of it made mo sense but a bit better given the short prior experience, but I’ve made adjustments and started to play one or two hours a day, mostly fidgeting. But now after I can’t even remember how many years, the chance to play a short live arose, and I’ve been doing my best to fill the gaps. So yea, onto the real question, enough life story.
If I’m not mistaken (that may be the cause, too) you could, by switching parts, also switch the samples triggered of a particular pattern trig, or it was never possible? If you can’t that means a lot more frantic finger combo on the spot, it was more for the sake of a better pace, but if my brain hasn’t completely turned to mush I remember doing it in the years bygone.
If it’s possible, is there something that I’m doing wrong? Basically I trigger sample one on the first step of a pattern, then knob knob to the selected slot, then switch part and I find the same sample locked to the trig.
Or maybe I’m just a fool. Apologies if this has already been brought up and answered.
(there’s also that problem of a midi channel out of eight that doesn’t playback the TQ5 fed into it, but one thing at a time, seven layers of FM bells should be enough).
