Re: Elektron Octratrack
Ich glaub der Teil hier aus dem Readme ist relativ wichtig:
The operation of the
pickup machine does however differ depending on the selected mode (ONE, ONE2 or HOLD).
When in ONE mode, you begin recording a new loop by pressing [REC AB], given that the track is
currently stopped. The loop length is decided by the RLEN parameter of the record setup window. If you
press [REC AB] again, while still recording, the recording restarts (just like it does for normal recording
in ONE mode). When the loop has been recorded the pickup will automatically begin overdubbing of the
loop (unless [REC CD] was pressed during the record, in which case it will start playing the loop without
overdubbing). You toggle between overdubbing and replacing using the [REC AB] key. To stop
overdubbing (or replacing) press [REC CD]. This will not stop the playback of the loop, it only stops the
recording. Toggle between stopped and playing using [REC CD]. To overdub again, just press [REC
AB] while the loop is playing.
The ONE2 mode operation is very similar to the ONE mode. The difference is that you may actively
define the loop length by pressing [REC AB] or [REC CD] after the recording has started. If you press
[REC AB] overdubbing begins, and if you press [REC CD] playback begins. If you don’t press one of the
keys, the loop length is defined by RLEN and the pickup will start overdubbing when that length has
been recorded.
In HOLD mode the recording is made by pressing and holding [REC AB]. When the key is released, the
pickup will start playing the loop. To make overdubs, just press and hold [REC AB] again while the loop
is playing. Replacing is not possible in this mode, but you can achieve the same results by setting GAIN
to -INF.
Da verhält sich jeder Modus anders.
Denke man sucht sich am besten einen aus, der dem eigenen Musizieren am besten entgegen kommt, und bleibt erst mal bei dem.
Und generell, sich mit der Anleitung neben den Octatrack setzen, und die Sachen so ausprobieren, damit man ein Gespür da für kriegt.
