(apols if asked a billion times before)
Can it be used like a “traditional” sampler. I.e.
specifically in the following ways
able to map a different sample to each note on a channel - for example to create a drum kit on a single channel
or spanning a waveform cycle across multiple pitches, to allow a it to be played like a synth (either monophonically or polyphonically), again on a single channel?
cheers
Yes, this is what slices are for.
Yes, very easy as well, though I believe there is a two octave limit for each sample.
great, but i take it each channel behaves monophonically, so for example, i couldn’t have a bass drum & snare triggered at the same time on a single channel (like the monomachine)
Indeed…Audio tracks are monophonic stereo tracks
You can kind of work around this if your sample contains layered percussion. You can prepare this ahead of time on a PC if you want, or the easiest way to do it is program a beat on 3 tracks and re-sample it. Then slice it and use the slices to re-work the beat.
For example what I might do is this:
Track 1: Kick
Track 2: Snare
Track 3: Closed Hat / Open Hat (slices or sample locks)
Make a 32 bar beat with those and sample onto Track 4. Then slice the sampled beat on track 4 and re-use tracks 1-4
Often times the initial beat I do on 1-3 will be silly just to get different combinations of hits. Usually the combinations I want are kick, snare, ohat, clhat, kick&snare, kick&ohat, kick&clhat, kick&snare&ohat, kick&snare&clhat, snare&ohat, snare&clhat
You can accomplish this easily with a 2 bar pattern, factoring enough space for decay between the hits.
It’s not the most straightforward way to do it, but it’s a good way to construct a kit within the OT’s limitations.
By the way…does anyone know if it’s possible to trigger slices form an external controller?
What i only get is to trigger Start/Stop commands. Audio tracks triggering and Chromatic.
But i would like to use my MPD24 to trigger different slices on a sample chain…
BUT…i believe the answer would be NO… =§(
If you change the trig button mode to slices, it may respond to MIDI notes but I can’t be sure…
I believe you change trig button mode via Function+Up/Down
Already tried but with no success
you can use the OT or as a drum machine/like a module using a sample per track and so a kit of 8 drum elements .
In this way you can trigger the drum as an old drum machine.
Is not possible to play chromatically and poly as a classic sampler.
that works or doesn’t it?
No poly, but yes, you can definitely play chromatically. That’s what the chromatic trig mode is for!
you can play chromaticly only 2 octave for sample, and the “pitch” is not the best sounding on a sampler.
you cannot play chromatically and poly… there is no poly mode.
