I have a (likely very redundant) question that I’ve been searching Elektronauts for a while:
Is there a list of steps one must follow to obtain a close-to-the-original (if not exact) sound quality for sampling? I’m not here to argue the relative merits of the OT’s sound quality, just the steps. I have an mk1 and am sampling a stereo modular system. Remove effects, timestretching, set it at 24 bit etc…
Thank you!

Read the threads about managing input gain. The Octatrack needs quite a hot signal.
If you’re sampling modular, that shouldn’t be a problem though. But you may need to tweak things to get the sample and the original at the same level.
EZbot’s youtube videos have some good tutorials about live sampling and cross-fading from the live input to the sample, seamlessly. Check those.
