Turn it on and set src 3 to main out? Or whatever you have it cued up to?

#22

such a cool thread, some of these questions are great gateways to deeper engagement and learning with the OT!

#23

is it allowed to answer questions? I thought we should only ask.
OP wanted to be quizzed :slight_smile:

Another one @sezare56 taught me :slight_smile:

RTRG and Trig Count… same behaviour?

#26

how to assign bpm per pattern?

#27

My old favourite: work on a track’s trig pattern while it’s playing something else, then drop your new one in mid-bar

#28

Loop a sample to a point before start

#29

Yep, use arp transpose with mode set to off.
Arp setup could also be used to transpose notes.
The Arranger can transpose midi tracks and a square wave lfo that modulates the note parameter also works.

It may take a minute to test, but hours to understand what’s happening :smile: :rofl:

I had such a moment today. I sent something to cue out, but no sound’s coming out of it. Also no sound on the headphones when setting them to cue out only in the mixer page.

Then I remembered the number one rule for strange OT behaviour: in case of mysterious behaviour power cycle it. And lo and behold: everything works perfectly again.

Simplest setup for recording and playing back at the same time? Set a rec trig on first step and remove or set the record setting to hold and aim to flex buffer for instant playback?

#38

This is very cool… Merlin explains it really well… It’s got the wheels in my brain spinning for sure…

#39

Awesome… My quick and dirty answer was resample to audio…

Hey, it’s not allowed to leave exams for so long that you could have visited @sezare56 in France or @Open_Mike in California ! :smile:
