:) on the other hand, it absolutely makes sense to resample directly in the OT if you're happy with short snippets. It works particularly well when building sample chains, as you can sequence, resample and slice in the same box. I suppose every approach is valid, and has its uses, it just depends on what you're trying to achieve :)
good question :) I like to track all my "noodlings" into a DAW for archiving and cutting / producing. The OT has a pretty limited amount of RAM, so extended jamming sessions are out of the question. I fond I come up with interesting stuff after a few minutes of jamming, and over sometimes a few hours :) i like recording all of it, but that's a personal preference, some might just be happy with snippets. I see my computer as a massive storage room for me to record jams into :) Then cut samples.
My pleasure and enjoy :) This only scratches the surface, but modulating FX parameters with LFO's is very fun ! Let us know how it goes for you :) Cheers.
one question, why would you track it out into a daw ? could´nt the octatrack resample its own sound ? and even more important, from all i know, all movements of any effect or parameter can be locked or recorded into the sequencer or scene so why track out anything into a daw ?
Yes, definitely ! The only reason I like to do this in a DAW is so that I have unlimited recording time, allowing for long takes of random tweaking. I also find the OT's sample handling quite tedious. Finally, most of my music ends up in a DAW at some point, so for my workflow, it makes sense to prep and edit samples in there, so i can pull them in a session at any time. But use whatever method works for you :) Cheers !
Thank you for watching and commenting ! You can get an OT used for quite cheap these days, if you like sampling, I highly recommend trying one out, although you might get addicted :) Cheers !
Looksl like i stumbled across youtube gold here. Thank you for these videos. Relevant in 2024😊
Still as relevant today! Thank you for sharing amazing knowledge!
My pleasure :)
Excellent tutorial... Will test this out tomorrow Thanks for taking your time to do these....
Usually I hate the sound of comb filters and therefore never use them. But in this example I heard some very nice sounds :)
These vids are so Dense with information and possibilities. Amazing stuff
And this is why I own one, now I just need the time to use it. Thanks for the videos always appreciated!
Elektron should be commissioning you to do their tutorials, inspiring, well presented and though out. Thanks for sharing! :))
Thank you for the kind words, and for watching ! The next one is getting there :)
Any chance for more videos ? You propably have the best octatracks tutorials on youtube :D
Fantastic stuff ;)
Thank you, as soon as the comb filter got introduced in the OT, I knew it would be a cool tool !
Cheers :)
My pleasure, thank you for watching :) Hopefully you get set up again soon, for more OT goodness ! Cheers.
Hey man thanks for another great tutorial. I have all my gear packed away right now but this makes me want to jam on the OT very soon. Peace.
awsome tutorials man, well done! Very inspiring. Really hoping to see more of OT and A4 tutorials from you. Best wishes and thank you!
+Mikhail Vasilevsky Thank you for watching, stay tuned for more in the summer !
damn - I now have reason to use the comb filter...
crazy good tips!
Thank you :) Glad to get people excited !
Damn great series learned a lot about the OT!!
I'm glad to help :)
Very creative use of effects and LFO's. I am taking note.
thats a nice demo/tutorial
Thank you :) Glad you enjoyed !
Thank you Jimmy ! Absolutely love your clean, driving sound ! Keep it up :)

Awesome as always. never fails to inspire.
Great video!
That's the idea ;) We need more music out there ! Let us hear the results !

Big up very inspiring indeed!!! Thank you !!
Very interesting, might buy one some day if I'm able to.
incredible videos my friend. Props
Thank you for watching !! Stay tuned for more soon from Berlin :)
Nice, good to hear ! Cheers.

Awsome tricks!
... great tips again!
Insane video!! Thanks alot for the tips!!
My pleasure :)
Thank you for watching :) The OT is a great source of inspiration !
Thank you ! Greets from London :)
thanks! and pls keep it coming!
Excellent tutorial, thanks so much.
Thank you for watching !
you mention recording the loop into a DAW and for later work, but could you also just re-sample the loop back in the Octatrack directly?
Yes, definitely ! The only reason I like to do this in a DAW is so that I have unlimited recording time, allowing for long takes of random tweaking. I also find the OT's sample handling quite tedious. Finally, most of my music ends up in a DAW at some point, so for my workflow, it makes sense to prep and edit samples in there, so i can pull them in a session at any time. But use whatever method works for you :) Cheers !
Yes, you can always easily resample the internal sound of the octa
perfect channel! Ty a lot!
Thank you :)
These are great tutorials. Can Octatrack import any sample/wav form?
Thank you Jim ! Yes the OT reads from the card, and can import in RAM any sample or single cycle or full track :)
Thanks.
Part 2?
Haha yes ! When i first heard the comb filter, I knew it was going to be something quite special :) Enjoy !
Wow briliant.

Thank you for listening :) Cheers !
Great!
thanks a lot!
My pleasure :)
And thank you for watching ! Hope this was as inspiring to watch as it was to make :) Cheers !
Makes me want to fire up the OT right now!
Next one is in the works ! Thank you for watching :)
ok that i can understand : )
