dear Octatrackers,

I just wanted to let you and the world know, that tonight, after 10 years of playing concerts with this machine….

i worked on it upside down

(in order to introduce it to a lifeform sitting in front of it) and even managed to menu dive a little to load more samples

so…it really IS like any instrument, even if it seems to be a totally convoluted alien roadside picknick leftover at first, after some years of practice

you will totally get the hang of it

hang in there and be excellent to each other

Why?

Another person was sitting in front of it I believe. Double teaming the OT.

I just did this the other day. Not at a show but at band practice. Stepped away and when I got back guitarist was grooving hard but standing right in the way of my path to get in front of the OT. So I tried using it upside down and it worked haha
