Saving Parts

[ObscureMachines]

I do save the parts.

Are you referring to having a long file and chopping it? I’ve never done it any other way, but would be happy to try it out.

I think if you save the part and change parameters then reload the part or go back it reverts to the save state which seems ideal cause you tweak then reload.

I did run into an issue when transitioning to the next bank where everything would be full “on”. I ended up having to sample the master out on a track recorder and crossfading into that while changing banks and setting levels etc then fading out the master loop. So if you have any recommendations I’m all ears.

No. Just saying I find advantages using sample locks rather than part changes, which can reveal some OT bugs.
Btw talking about sample locks and slices :

@ObscureMachines

you tweak then reload

I tweak with the crossfader and Playback page parameters like rate, pitch, etc, I put back values to their position easily. So I don’t need to save / reload. Maybe I’d save parts of a live project, in order to reload them in a panic moment. WTF is stuck?

I don’t get what can be the issue with bank change. You can copy / paste parts, eventually copy / paste banks (in OT file manager or with a computer).

So I quickly tested it. Changing from flex to static indeed does lock to the same slot number, if a recorder buffer is sample locked and I change to a part with a static machine, it locks to static slot 128. Recorders 1-8 all change to static slot 128.

@Schnork

My guess would be it locks to the same slot number, but from the static slot list in this case.

Good guess.

@darenager

I might see what happens next time I get a chance.

Too late!

So yes with sample locks slots numbers are kept with flex or static, except flex recordings 1-8 becoming assigned to static slot 128!

Track default setting is respectively kept by static and flex (track 1-8 have slots 1-8 assigned by default).

Ex : if you change T1 static slot (default is 1) to 9 and change to a Flex, the flex slot will remain slot 1 (default).

If you change that flex slot to 5 and change to static, static previous setting is kept (9).
