Save edited sounds like on digitakt

Elektron Gear Octatrack
#1

Hi all
I’ve had my octatrack for a few months now and I absolutely love it. It’s one of the most creative devices I ever used. And I still have yet to scratch it’s surface which is something I love about it.

I do have a question though. I was re-watching some digitakt videos for fun and I remembered that there was a way to save your sample with its settings almost like a “patch” or a preset I guess as a sound.

Is there any way I can do that too with the octatrack? I’d love to use a few single cycle waves and create a few “synth” presets so I don’t have keep re-setting up a track every time I want to use a single cycle to make a voice.

If not maybe other ways I can optimize my sounds coz right now every time I start a new project every track I go select the sample, edit it if I need. Do all the things in the various pages. It’s quite cumbersome and slow especially if I want to quickly change from one sound to another during performance ( and I’m not talking about switching parts)

Thanks.

Save Sample Settings p85

Save the sample and settings into a shared location; e.g. [ AUDIO\MySounds ] then when you load a sample from there, it will pick up the matching settings file.

Or were you wanting to know how to save the entire Audio Machine for use again?

yeah i think this is what i was looking for i guess… a way to save the audio machine’s state as a preset or a sound. something i could recall again…

i guess that doesn’t really exist seems like it. that’s kindof sad that would be a cool feature.

I think you could use parts in this manner maybe?

Yeah parts would definitely save the entire set of parameters, only problem with that is it saves the entire 8 tracks together. (kindof like a kit let’s say) where i was hoping for a way to just save 1 sound with all its parameters.

seems like DIGITAKT has the upper hand on the octa in that regard… i’m quite surprised to be honest

I was under the impression you could copy part one to another location, part two to another, etc.

Yes it does do that. What I mean is a part contains the information of all 8 tracks. So you save the state of all 8 tracks as a part. You can copy over one part to another but you’ll be copying all 8 tracks of information. You can’t just save/copy just 1 track.

#9

Yeah, I got you. You can use Octaedit to save modules and then load them into now projects.

In grid recording mode, select source track, func+rec to copy, change location, select destination track, func+stop to paste

That’s called evolution. Grandchilds can perform “tricks” their grandparents can’t. :wink:

The OT was declared feature-complete by Elektron long before the DIGITAKT arrived on the scene.
