How to set up the echo freeze beat repeat function on the Octatrack

If you're curious about what I spend entirely too much time doing in my Octatrack videos, this one is for you.

00:37 Setting Track 8 as Master
01:01 Configuring the Delay for echo freeze
02:42 Delay Control trig mode
05:42 Filtering the echo freeze
06:16 Tape mode (why I turn it off)
07:07 Outro

the OT has an endless amount of functions.... it's an amazing machine

I appreciated the explanation of the send at 0/1+ . I’m gonna have to watch it a couple more times to wrap my head around it. But it works, thx!

[@EZBOT_]

Nice job!

[@christdolphin69]

you get much better results than the typical freeze delay/delay ctrl trig menu, by setting Send to about 14, then locking the scene delay "Send" param to "0" with fdbk up all the way, volume up all the way, then set the time differently for every beat-repeat. the reason you set it to 14 instead of just 1 or something, is because it *zips* when fading if you dont, in a nasty way but i think 14 is the sweet spot when sliding the fader to zero on the delay send when set to lock in the secondary menu.

Super helpful thanks!! Really appreciating these tutorials!

[@atomboyd]

Great walkthrough! I’ve done this trick a million times and still learned a few great tips here. Thanks!

[@ZetaReticulian]

Thanks so much for sharing these octatrack videos dude!
I recently got my first elektron gear and I’m absolutely in love with the units!
MORE PLEASE! 🙏🏽

[@earlsfield]

Thanks for the super comprehensive tutorial btw. This is one of the many things that make OT perfect for glitch/idm (sorry:) type of music. Bear ni mind people, you don't have to use master track for this.

[@michaelrasmussen8590]

Awesome tutorial. Super helpful man. Hope you keep them coming. Maybe you can build on this tutorial to show how to bring in other sounds like vocals and so on, as you do in some of your tracks. Thanks!

[@ElectronicazMusic]

Thanks great vid

[@petrpazyna]

super helpful! thank you

[@nalaeel219]

Bravo.
Thank you 👍

now assign the send to the fader to go to Zero and you can simply throw the fader to stutter edit. Then add in a little movement of the timing to the fader to and it gets wobbly stutter like the 404.

Heck yea I love this

[@soundwave5504]

thx man very nice

[@rhudson3290]

Awesome!

[@j.shelton5147]

Thank you!

[@corydkiser]

i like your music

[@Crabdust1]

Very helpful. Nice beat too. So do you have to constantly swap into and out of delay ctrl trig mode during a performance?

[@sadmadbad]

I usually just live in delay ctrl mode. I don't really tend to trigger samples manually or play stuff chromatically (especially because the pitch range is so limited), and if I want to quick mute stuff, I'll either use FUNC-[the track number] or if you hit the MIX button you can quick mute there.
I also don't tend to use slices that often so that mode isn't super useful to me (something I should probably dive into more) and I don't really know what the slots page does so I should probably look into that too lol

[@Blarm]

Thanks for another useful video SMB! I have a quick question if anybody would be able to help me out. I've used Track 8 on most of my compositions, but really like this effect. Is it possible to perform this on a single track? Like the drum track for example.

[@sadmadbad]

You can do this on any track that uses delay as one of its FX!

[@earlsfield]

qq, what is the beat loop you are using - can you reference sample/pack?
