This video really saved my brain.. I took a deep dive into modular last year and put together a really expansive couple of cases that at first, I really loved but increasingly started feeling this overwhelming sense of “this is great and now wtf do I do with this patch?” It was like I was paralyzed not knowing how to capture what I was doing in a way that would allow me to actually use anything to make an actual song. This video completely flipped my brain into a clear path. Thank you for sharing this.
Use [FUNC]+[PLAY] to clear the whole filename at once rather than [FUNC]+[NO] repeatedly. I personally prefer to set QREC to PLEN then use [TRACK]+[REC1/2/3] to sample from those sources (or just [REC1/2/3] if you set RECORD QUICK MODE in preferences). Easier than one-shot record trigs IMO, too many steps. Though you can't start recording immediately on step 1 without the record trigs unfortunately.
Cool video... sold me!! I had an OCTA for 12 months until an accident broke the machine. I pretty much used it for one shots too but really dig the sampling. My DIGI just doesn’t have the minerals for longer samples. Bank account says cheers
That was just naaaaasty. You killed that sound AND beat! I enjoyed listening and watching but I'm still new to this OT and was a little confused by the trig buttons that were lit green because I didn't understand how they were being used. I've read a bit into the manual which is interesting. You've been at this for a while and clearly have a good grasp of the process...so it's not "very basic" at all. I have an OB-6 keyboard I want to sample as the backdrop to a beat but I got lost with your setup. Did you just MIDI the OT to the modular animal (beautiful setup by the way) where the OT triggered a pattern then you looped the modular audio back into the OT for sampling? Any clarification of your setup would help if you don't mind helping a new OT Mk2 user. Thank you!
I love my black octattack 👍🏻 i havent made any videos using it but i will be soon. I just waiting on my modular, and some other gear 🙂 But yeah 32gb of samples is more tnan enough for me. I really wish i could colour cpde my track buttons, i might get some coloured stickers or something lol
It's the echo lock view for the trig keys. I've got a video about it here that hopefully explains how it works: ruclips.net/video/HT142kxhQCE/видео.html
Does the sample sound just as good as what you’re sampling? A lot of people claim the octa has shitty converters, etc. I’d like to do shows with just an Octatrack.
I've never noticed an issue with stuff I've sampled in. Things can get a bit glitchy if you're time stretching (or using the lo-fi effect lol) but I'd think that if you're playing a show, any sort of quality difference wouldn't be noticeable through whatever PA you're playing through. I'm not an expert on this by any means though!
It's a bunch of audiophile hooey. Octatrack sounds great and neutral. People have posted A/B comparisons and no one can tell the difference from the OT sample and the original.

Thank you so much for the nice comment! I love it when that switch flips and I'm so glad I could help out.

Thanks so much! Hope you start making more of these videos!
Really nice lighting on the overhead shot. I can really see the screen.
nice one bud! Just got the CV.OCD to connect my Octa to my modular.
Banging tune there
This was really helpful. Thank you!! I have just been learning the Octatrack and want to use it with my modular. Nice video and great vibe!
I wouldn't mind knowing about how to do one-shot trigs. I'm new to this beast and am still finding my way around on it. Thanks, George

awesome. and awesome setup. thank *YOU*

that was heavy, and great looking video
Nice explanation dude..
Could u tell me if its possible to sidechain on the octatrack?
Great video thanks, what's that view your in most of the time where half of the sequencer buttons are lit green?

With a one shot trig you wouldn’t need trig conditions anyway :)
Beautiful Black set up!! cool vid~
This is brilliant. Thank you.
Nice
Thank you for the great tutorial
Great tutorial 🙏
Really cool ⚡️ thx

Really fun and helpful!
what this really good
Great vid thx! Have you ever tried doing similar with the modular and ableton/push?
Ya I’ve definitely sampled modular into ableton a bunch. Also I record the audio for all of these videos in ableton as well.
Is there a lot the Octa is doing here that a Digitakt can't?
hot stuff.
5u huh
