Ok so that's really weird then because my OCTA will not let me select anything outside bank A. Maybe its and issue with my CF card or the project file?

I think I'll ty starting a completely new project and see if that makes any difference.

I think you have to select both bank and pattern? Bank first, then while you're holding the Bank button choose eg the first pattern on that bank? Not in front of my OT atm, so I might be wrong.

Yes that's what you're supposed to do. But it quite simply doesn't work on my octa.

Basically I hold bank press B and the press A to select pattern 1 in bank B and after i let go of the keys I end up exactly where i was in one of the bank A patterns. The octa doesn't seem to be reacting as its supposed to.

OP-1 and Ableton Live (everything else is waiting for studio renovations...which are slow since I'm doing it)

^ Yup, it's bank first ("CHOOSE BANK"), then pattern ("CHOOSE PATTERN") - all while you're holding down the bank key.

AVAILABLE is kind of a bad wording. It just means, that patterns were already created in those banks, so they are not empty.
It's kind of an indicator when you are playing live for instance, where your stuff is lying around, so you don't have to search around. Same with patterns. It just shows you patterns where you have changed something as existing (green light on LED).

That doesn't mean that those patterns and banks don't exist where you don't get a green light from the Octatrack.

They are all there, already existing.

They are just empty.

No you are not right again. You select a new bank then a new pattern and then press play and you are inside your empty pattern.

What I've been doing with chains recently, is stacking them. I'll chain 64 drum samples on 1 track in Pro Tools, and on a second track, chain 64 "ambience hits", and maybe a third track with 64 little vocal hits. Load the chain in a static, and go to town with slices

Now add LFO to slice

And use the hold trig method to get usable results.
I just learned that from the lfo video tutorial and I am thrilled. I think I can get by without lfo starting with the sequencer.

unfortunately hold option doesn't work for me either.
Still the lfo runs free in free run mode without taking into account sequencer start so its still random and not usable for accurate results.

synchronized start of the lfo's still remains in my top feature requests. Very disappointing...

No you are not right again. You select a new bank then a new pattern and then press play and you are inside your empty pattern.

Well shows what you know then doesn't it.

As I Said i was going to earlier in this thread I started a completely new project from scratch and now I can change banks properly so it turns out it was a glitch in the project file that was causing the issue. IE: A genuine issue with the octatrack and NOT just me being an idiot.

Hey no problem man I'm just glad I figured out what the hell was wrong.

I'm a lot happier with my OCTA now

That sounds absolutely awesome. But...how do you remember which sample slice is what sound? For random glitchy stuff, when an LFO is randomly changing the slices this must be cool though. I gotta try that...
