Octatrack
Octatrack
The Octatrack is the secret sauce in this setup because it lets me chop, slice, and use the crossfader to take samples to places I wouldn’t expect. Using the cue outputs is what keeps the “snake eating its own tail” routing under control while still letting me resample endlessly.
Pros
- +Cue outputs make feedback-safe resampling possible in a looped routing setup
- +Crossfader performance tricks can transform samples into unexpected textures
- +Slice point editing for chopping samples (something I miss elsewhere)
Cons
- -MIDI control settings can cause weird behavior until you disable Audio CC In/Audio Note In
- -Track/buffer management can get confusing if you overwrite recordings
