Long time lurker. First time poster. I decided to use the octatrack as the brain for my live setup and I have my head wrapped around most of it, but there is one scenario that I just can’t seem to figure out. Say I have 2 backing tracks for 2 songs. I have song 1 set up in bank1 and song 2 set up in bank 2. I have both of them loaded into track 1 using static machines. I have a 1 shot trig at the beginning of the 1st pattern on bank 1 for song 1 and another one at the beginning of pattern 1 on bank 2 for song2. My goal is to hard cut from one to the other rather than trying to do a transition. I have transitions baked into the stems.
I would expect that when bank 2 patter 1 starts playing, it would automatically stop playing the song 1 stem from the previous bank, but what’s strange is that the stem from bank 1 keeps playing, and the new one doesn’t trigger. Well it sounds like it tries to, but the stem for Song 1 glitches slightly and then keeps playing instead of stopping to let the new sample start.
What am I doing wrong here? I have spent countless hours trying to figure it out, and I’m just baffled. I really want to avoid manually trigging all the song stems for this set using the track button-play combo. I want to have all these events completely automated when the bank switches happen.
Thanks ahead of time!
