I am trying to get my Octatrack to record for 80 steps at 144bpm. I’ve tried changing the scale multiplier to 1/2x and setting the RLen to 40 but the recorder doesn’t seem to be affected by the scale multiplier.
Is there any way I can start a record buffer and have it stop exactly 80 steps later?
If I set the RLen to Max, is there any way I could set some type of record stop trigger or an alternate technique?
Thanks!
There are lots of threads with helpful ‘manual’ ideas, best check them out first
The rlen Always relates to a tempo multiplier of 1, see manual
You could use arranger to create an arrangement which runs for 80 steps then stops. By placing a recorder trig at the start of the first pattern you should be able to record for an even 80 steps.
Your arrangment would look like this:
EDIT: Actually it seems as if the recorder will not stop. hmmmm, anybody else?
Yeah, exactly. It doesn’t look like there’s a way to put a Stop record event in arranger, only record with the predetermined RLen, which has a max of 64 steps
I’ve settled on using a Record Trig to start the recording with setting One-2, then end it manually by hitting record again at the appropriate time with a QRec of 16.
t’s a little awkward and menu-divey, so I might pick up a MIDI expander for my Keith McMillen Softstep to use that as a MIDI controller for the stop record event.
