Oops, I ended up buying one after watching your video. Thanks for the recommendation. I should finally be able to fulfill my life-long dream of "improvising" with loops / samples while playing guitar at the same time.
This is really cool. My Nord Drum 3P hi-hat controller device is not so versatile, but it's cheap. This MIDI controller is a monster. Thank you for the suggestion.
Another awesome video, SW! I just got an MC6 Pro and I'm trying out your Octatrack record/playback workflow. However I'm a bit stumped with the OT MIDI commands. I've got the "active track up/down" commands to switch tracks, as well as the "INAB rec" and "INCD rec" commands to initiate recording. But the command I can't find is what happens when you let go of the button and the track starts playing. Seems like that would be something like "trigger active track", but I can't find a command like that in the Octatrack manual. I see the individual commands for triggering specific tracks (notes 36-43), but not an ‘active track’ option. Do you recall how you set this up? Thanks again for your great vids!
I'm doubting about Plays Free, because it uses a specific note per track. No midi message to trigger active track Plays Free. Notes 60-63, or REC ARM...
@@wiliwowmusic1625 Yeah, nevermind the plays free…just triggered the samples on the tracks probably. Was thinking of another example involving plays free!

Hey, nice to see you here…I have been watching many of your videos :) I am glad I was able to give something back and help you on your search!

My pleasure! Yes, it’s an insanely powerful device

C6 note. 😉
I think here I just made it as simple as possible and used PLAYS FREE tracks (unquantized) and triggered the SAMPLE using notes C6.
