Jonah is on the right track...
does the A4 have the user-defined LFOs that the Octatrack does? that might be perfect if routed to waveform selection. if not, i guess you might be able to approximate it somewhat.

that's the thing - the C64 snare isn't so simple, if you look at how it's done (or try comparing it to a basic noise/osc "analog snare"). the "c64 snare" is actually a number of different sounds (usually four or five 'steps' in the 'wavetable'?) played back very quickly to sound like a single hit. similar to the way that very fast C64 arpeggios are used to simulate chords.

You have to use another LFO or envelope to modify the first's depth, speed, multiplier (up to 2000x), phase, or fade!
I should try turbo MIDI from the Octatrack to the a4's CCs , otherwise I doubt there's the bandwidth. Too bad that doesn't work USB to USB.

There's a bit of post-recording EQ and compression but otherwise it's all Analog4. Just a few patterns chained together in Song mode and I played the synth lead (MIDI keyboard connected to the A4) live.
