Thanks!
I had seen the tutorials by Elektron but they miss lot of stuff. Anyway, luckily I have found others today. We'll see :9 If you have some midi controller (hand or foot) and you want to give it a try, let us know. The faderfox LV2 does not work "as it is" (no plug and play). I will write to Faderfox to see if they have an idea. I do not have other controllers. I will probably buy a midi foot controller sooner or later, very probably the fcb1010, and try it out. In any case I need it for the Ableton. In elektron site I have been suggested the minicommand (apparently works very good with elektron things) and the bitstream. Nice trick, thanks! And I have another trick to give in change! Something I just discovered "by mistake" :) select a track, press function plus playback. Press yes. Than press cue+yes (or function+yes. I use cue+yes because so the preview of the sound is not sent to the main output). Now press twice exit. Not press the trig key relative to that track. You will see, that it will play only till you hold it down. I think it is a bug, because it is not written anyway, and it is a bit uncomfortable to get (also, supposing that you have the cue outputs connected to the speakers, then by pressing cue+yes you will ear the preview of that sample, which may be very disturbing if you have other things going on). But it is a NICE trick. Just discovered by chance and said "WTF! Destiny is incredible, I wanted this, and I found out by chance a bug which does it??? UNBELIEVABLE!". But there is more! Fill the 8 tracks with samples, flex machine. Do this trick for some of them, let say 123 and 4. Leave the 5678 normal (=that if you press them they will play till the end and eventually repeat forever, if the loop mode is active). THen do your trick with function+up-arrow and choose slots. Now you will see, if you select one of the track buttons near the display, from 1 to 4, then your keys will play in hold mode. From 5 to 8 they will play in normal mode. You can even let one play in normal mode, then select a track from 1 to 4 and play with the other tracks. Nice, isn't it? :) From: anders_e_bergdahl@hotmail.com To: loopers-delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: RE: @Anders, for the OT (I make it public so that anybody can learn more about the OT) Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2012 20:59:37 +0000 See answers below, or attempts to anser ;) From: simpliflying@gmail.com To: loopers-delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: @Anders, for the OT (I make it public so that anybody can learn more about the OT) Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2012 10:48:55 +0000
Hello Anders! I have three questions for you! :) 1) do you know if there are trusty, reliable video tutorial about the OT, starting from ZERO (for who just opened the package), and with the new OS? In Synthopia I saw a video which drove me CRAZY till I realized "damn, wait, maybe it was made with an old OS". It was IMPOSSIBLE to reproduce what he was doing... :) And it was indeed made with the first OS! ANDERS> Probably the tutorials from Elektron are the most reliable,. even if they are rather basic.. there are some other good ones but start with elektrons.. 2) I see that the quick live usability could be a problem with all those menus and combinations of buttons. I wonder if it would not be possible to automatize some commands with a midi (foot or hand) controller, so that I can just push one button and the OT would execute a sequence of command without me having to open thousand menus. ANDERS > Yes that should be possible.. i haven't felt the need myself.. 3) Suppose that I have 4 tracks with 4 different samples, not too long, but not just one note. Something like "du-bi-da-bi-di-bu-pi-ram-pam-ta-ta-ta", just to say. I want to be able to press the button corresponding to that track, and have the track playing only till I hold down the button. But I cannot. If I press one track button it will play till its end. I want to be able to play with the tracks very quickly, deciding how long must play each one. But even if I use the mute function, then when I unmute it will not start from the beginning, and I want to start from the beginning! Is it possible? Anders> Probably not exactly as you want it.. What I think you want is to be able to trigger a sample and have it sound just as long as you hold a button... you will come close by setting the octa in "live" mode (press stop and play and the red led by the "rec" buttom will flash). This way you can play chromatically (the default sample for a track will be played chromatically with the trig buttons or a keyboard.. in "live recording mode" the things you do will be recorded to the sequencer.. so IF you don't want to record but just trigger make sure to have the led by "rec" OFF (if its flashing push "rec" until it's off.. then puch FUNCTION+UP ARROW and chose "SLOTS" this way you can play the slots assigned to a track by pressing trig buttons, the first trig button will play first slot, second the second on so on.. this way you can "stutter" a sample by repeately pressing its trig button.. NOW all triggered samples will play to end or until you trigger an other slot.. so if you have a sample is SILENCE (a short is perhaps best) you could trigger "du-bi-da-bi-di-bu-pi-ram-pam-ta-ta-ta" (say slot 1) and make it stop by pressing the "silent" slot.. so that way you can silence your sample when ever.. NOW there MIGHT be a simpler way...OOPS there is a simpler way just push any trig button that do not have a slot assigned (do not have a green led.. just tried, works, COOL) >Sorry for confusing answer... need to walk the dog..
