jesus christ, as if the octatrack didnt already have a learning curve.

this looper is something i will not be using anytime soon

I think the Looper could be cool for transition between Patterns.

And the Bomb is "Trigless locks"! So, you're able to p-lock parameter without triggering the LFO- or FX-envelopes.

umm.. of course this does mean that os 1.2 is now available for download!!!

Why not? It's pretty quick to set up and very easy to use.

i see what you did there

To be fair I tried it a while back and picked it up right away... wasnt half as complicated as it read.

i was really hoping there would be one machine for recording you would not have to set up, you just load it and push the record button. then if you want power features you can menu dive and do that.

i just dont understand why by default you cannot do a realtime record by just holding down the track number and record button without having to set it

i also dont understand why you cant just select a track hold the record button and then push a trig pad to start a trig recording that will stop when it reaches that trig again.

that being said, i use the octatrack all the time and love it, i just wish it were a sampler like the machinedrum is a drum machine and the monomachine is a monosynth. the beauty of the MD is that you can turn it on and show it to someone who has never used a drum machine before and they can make a beat in no time. the octatrack, not so much.

There's a lot I dont understand about the OT, though as far as Im aware the looper is as simple as pressing one button to overdub and another to record fresh. I could be wrong, I tried it when the beta dropped and havent since.

Ive been a little neglectful of mine, the track I did for the actuel comp was the first time in over a month I used it.

we are working on our track this week, no OT involved though, my "band" doesnt like the idea of "those kinds of devices"

^ better pack the xylophone instead...
