Hello! New user here, and just posted on a different, older thread. Forgive me for double posting, and let me know if I should delete one of them. Just figured there might be people more up to date here.
Has anyone found a solution to this during the last four years?
I recently aquired an Octatrack mkii, planning to use it as a looper at concerts, but this bug happens almost consistently if I change banks and come back to the bank with the pickup machines. Tried to plock the direction of playback to scenes, but the error happens somewhere else since the direction has to be set backwards to get the sample playing back like it was recorded.
Is there some parameters carrying over from other banks? Could i avoid some of this with setting up the bank i enter before my loop-bank differently? Are the developers still looking into this?
Sidenote: I have looked into looping and overdubbing with flex, but as far as i can see it’s hard to get that to function as a traditional guitar looper because of the need for both recording trigs and playback trigs. I typically have a short percussion loop of a bar or two playing on some tracks, and i would like to record quantized samples of several bars that i can then dynamically start and stop at different bars of the pattern. So if i know i want to record a 4 bar sample, I can only place the recording and playback trigger at the first beat of a 4 bar pattern, and would have to wait 4 full bars for a new try if I miss the beat. As opposed to pickup machines where i would just have qrec and qpl at 16 and be able to trigger a recording at whatever bar i like.
