Stem playback?

Hi gang, looking to pick up a Tonverk for live. Whilst I want utilize all features, I wanted to know if I could comfortably use the tonverk to playback long stems of my tracks whilst I play guitar/sing etc? Also using with a live drummer and would appreciate if sending a click or in ear mix to them from the tonverk is going to feel easy

For playing back long stems the Octatrack would be better than the Tonverk.

Yes, Tonverk is capable of playing back long samples/stems. You could also create a click track and send it to c/d outs or e/f headphone outs (I haven’t tried the e/f routing, but from the manual it appears possible).

Tonverk can playback samples up to 45 minutes in length, but it has to load them from SD card to memory first, so the more large samples you use per project, the longer that project takes to load before you can start playback - Octatrack can stream static tracks from the CF card, but there are some things you can’t do with static that you can do with flex (in memory tracks).

There’s also no slicing yet on TV, so if you wanted to do any stem mangling on beat (without doing any stem pre-slicing/sample prep), it’s quite a bit more of a manual process than with the OT, (also no zooming on the waveforms on TV :frowning: ).
