I use it at the moment for clearing the sample slots. There is/was a bug preventing them from being cleared.. Workaround is recording silence. I also use it to layer tracks with different lengths.

That method I posted uses 1 track.

incredibly interesting, electro. will have to give this a spin later on!

Anyone has tried to set up a PadKontrol to start/stop sampling with the OT??
I would basically press and hold the footswitch that comes with it. to control it.
My psychiatrist has asked me to stop reading Appendix C of the OT manual...so any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help

I thought i'd give it a go at trying to figure this one out and haven't been too successful. I can get the first Recorder to trigger with a FCB1010, but none of the others will. Its my understanding that notes 60-71 will trigger them, but i'm not sure why there's 12 notes for 8 recorders?

I know i'm not getting something. any help would be awesome.

never mind, got it largely figured out.

Could you pass on any tip to the community?

Thanks..

Basically the PadKontrol needs to be disconnected from USB in order to send midi messages on its midi out port.
I had to power it from the mains rather then from my PC..

Now the OT can receive messages from Pad Kontrol. However I couldn't manage to initiate 'Manual sampling' that is what I'm interested in..

Anyone has been able to achieve that ?

Thanks

^ there seem to be a few ways. the simplest is to dedicate 4 pads to manual sampling depending on input. Midi note 60,61,62,63. i think the first one is all inputs, the second AB, the third CD, and the last one is SRC.

each Flex Recorder is on its own midi channel. there is an auto channel that over rides this and whatever track you have active will apply to that. check the midi project menu for which channel to set the midi notes (60,61,62,63) from and voila.

You could also set up these four notes to the first 8 midi channels (32 pad spaces) and not have to touch the OT at all.

oh, and don't sent the RLEN longer than the steps you are using.

Whenever they come out with a real looper, guitarist's heads will turn. Especially if the OT can be controlled via foot-controller.

And theres the magic words folks......................'foot~controller'

^what's so magic about it? I use a foot controller with it now to capture guitar loops.
