Using two sound on the same trig line?

how ca i do it ?? :slight_smile:

What JB said. Or look in the handbook for “sample locks”

Change trig mode to slots.

And if you want to play with slots, you can quantize rec, and play (samples can be played synced to quantize play setting).

For clarity:
-Tracks mode will live record each track sound to its individual track, placing trigs on different tracks…
-Slots mode will live record the the sample slots as trigs with appropriate sample locks, on one track…

do i have to be on a espefic mode setting to be able to do it?

Sample chains are another option if you want to record you patterns by playing the trig keys live.

found it guyus tinks a bunch ! much love

just partially true :wink: if the sounds have slightly longer Attack, you can create the illusion of having up to three Sounds on the same Step with Trig Conditions and Microtiming. I once showed how this works right here:

Although this is for the Analog Four, the same principle applies to every other Elektron Machine that has the Trig Conditions and Microtiming. This includes the Octatrack! You just use different Samples instead of different Notes in that case.

With OT you can’t hear several samples at the same time on the same track. No overlap. Without Fx of course.

Well, you can use resampling :rofl:

No. Resampling is bad. :smile:
Anyway after resampling you can play only one sample. :wink:

Until you resample again :crazy_face:

Resampling? :thinking: oddly just this moment I’ve dug up this old post, it’s pretty awesome:

[edit] sorry, my bad. misunderstood your answer. have only read it halfway, thought it had to do with my Video :wink:

Anyway, for reference: This is a quick and Dirty Example how the stuff shown in my Video works with Samples as well :slight_smile:

@umonox Your technique is to utilise steps for different pitches on each pass (very cool too) not simultaneous sounds on 1 step which isn’t what this thread is about either, confused? You should be :rofl:

I used overlap recently with A4, one track arp for a pad, it works really well. :slight_smile:
Microtiming + TRC is great to alternate notes, and it works well with OT to alternate samples played at (almost) same position.
I use % and /PRE.

You can have two samples sounding on the same trig, same track. You put them on the left & right channels. Use spatialiser with M/S on and mid gain down. Then plock the pan to control their relative levels, or control it with the crossfader, or even use the trigs-nudged-up-close trick and use conditional.

Good for kick/snare/both economising

@Clancy that’s genius.

Another thing you could do is use midi loopback and set two tracks to the same channel if you want more control and you’re willing to sacrifice a track. Combine that with the spatialiser trick and you’ve got up to 4 layers for making drums
