Thanks for the comment! I have the following setup: T1 pickup, T2 flex, T3 flex, T4 flex, T6 through. All external piano sounds were routed through T6, with lofi effects added. Recorded on-the-fly to recording buffers 1-4 and looped. transitions between T1-4 and T6 were done using the scene function. I hope this helps.
Super awesome! Could you achieve something similar without the midi looper? I just got an octatrack last year and I've been watching and studying the way people use the device, and it's so fascinating to see all the many ways you can use the octatrack. Thanks for all your uploads, and for inspiring me to dive deeper into electronic music!
Thanks for the kind words. Indeed, you can get interesting results without using Midilooper. For example, you could send MIDI directly from the CP to the Octatrack, and the OT could manipulate the MIDI notes with its own arpeggiator, LFO, and of course parameter locks, and send the MIDI notes back to the CP. This is not the same, but there is plenty of room for experimentation. Would this be your answer?
Thanks! I use Midilooper to manipulate the MIDI notes from the CP, Midilooper can change the tempo, octave, velocity, etc. of the recorded MIDI data. Also, all audio from the CP is recorded to the Octatrack recorder and processed by the flex machine.
Thanks! I am using Midilooper to manipulate MIDI notes from the CP, Midilooper can change the tempo, octave, velocity, etc. of the recorded MIDI data. All audio from the CP is also recorded to the Octatrack recorder and processed with the built-in effects. The crossfader is used to mix the raw audio from the CP with the processed audio from the Octatrack. The reverb pedal adds ambience to the main outs.
Nice tutorial! I wondered why you used a pickup machine for T1 but I guess that was just to have the audio play straight away, without needing to add playback a trig?
Thanks for your comments! I used a pickup machine on the T1 because I want to be free from the grid and start this chain of manupilations at the exact moment I want. The pickup machine allows me to start recording intuitively. Lately I've been wanting to free myself from the steps and the grid. The pickup looper is a good way to experiment with the Octatrack without using a step sequencer.
Thanks so much! You're right, I used the Tascam as a live mic. I forgot to get the wind shield ready, but it worked out fine because there was no wind at the time.
probably not the videos that the algorithm vitalizes.... Nor of the typical ones of pseudo-musicians that sell more the post-music than the music... But I love these videos of yours... they are risky, experimental and I personally find them very inspiring. Thanks
Thanks for the warm words, Hessence. I hope to share something unique and exciting sounding with other electronic music fans on this channel. I am so glad to share this feeling with you.
Hi! I dont get how to control Alpha base with Octatrack, even on the other video you mentioned. I work on eurorack and actually new to this type of work. For now i basically want to mute Alpha tracks with Octatrack but can't get how to set it up. Can you please teach me ? I would give you my contact if its possible, i don't think it will be so complicated. Thank you in Advance
I always enter notes into Octatrack MIDI tracks instead of using Alphabase's sequencer because Octatrack's sequencer is more flexible. You can mute up to 8 tracks in Alphabase with the Octatrack's track mute function.
@@maknouchi so i'm midi sequencing now, i assigned the channels 1.2.3 ecc... so two things: _Trigs are received but the kick drum change its pitch and the others not _If i mute the midi track the alpha base still sounds
@@maknouchi ok wait maybe i made It. Still prefer to setup the sound on Alpha base and only muting and Sequencing Trigs. Why my KD received note and CH and OH not?
