Tutorial: How to sample a 8-bar loop with Octatrack MKII

My way is easiest - set memory allocation for nearest number of steps (or just above*) desired amount, RLEN to max, record, then if needed trim off the end (or don’t).

  • The steps readout/resolution only gives exact seconds/steps when integer multipliers, so just get nearest then go above if tempo is not divisible exactly. I made a post about it before.

Note at the top of the screen when adjusting reserve length it will briefly show the number of steps.
