there is no other channel exploring the OT to this impressive and deep level. Much appreciated. One of the handful instructors I follow with the knowledge I will learn something new to utilize. Thank you.
I was a bit surprised how usable the samples were, in my tests with 24-bit artifacts (video is only 16-bit) there were even some interesting wavetable-esque sections showing up
Love you stuff! I have been doing Electronic music for 20 years. I have slimed my studio down to a Octatrak and random small cheap mono synths and could not be happier. Thanks for the trick
Honestly thank you so much for these in depth and quality walkthroughs. your vid style is soo easy to follow because of the revised voiceover. makes it so bloody precise and calm. Also you are showing us some seriously nasty sound design hacks which I would (and will bc I'm gonna become a patron when I get paidd) pay good P for
Sounds a whole lot like bitcrushing, which makes sense I guess! Thanks for all the ongoing work on this channel, it's a constant source of inspiration.
thank you! Definitely the low-resolution 'bit reduction' quality is the most obvious change, the real fun stuff to me is all the other weirdness that shows up depending on the input signal and reverb parameters
my pleasure! the annoying part of this technique is sitting around and waiting for the really long tails on the Dark Reverb to fade away while recording as well as the normalization time - I cut out or sped up most of that dead air!
definitely will get something very different from different reverbs! even just changing a parameter slightly gives drastically different character to these artifacts. DT resamples to 16-bit afaik so you won't get to experiment with 24-bit artifacts, which are somewhat distinct from the 16-bit ones I show in this video
Crazy how something so quick and straightforward in Ableton is apparently so time consuming and convoluted in the Octatrack. So many button presses on the OT just to do something like that. I would love an OT 3 that is more straightforward and accessible.
I actually find Ableton rather clunky in many ways after having become familiar with the Octatrack; there are always trade-offs as straightforward and accessible is often difficult to do without losing depth and complexity
YES! I was just thinking about this on the OT. I remember back in the day there was a method to force the effects on the ASRX to glitch. I was wondering if the OT did something similar.
doing this test made me understand why I have always considered the OT reverbs, particularly the Dark and Spring reverbs to be very 'grainy' - all that subliminal low-resolution nastiness is always skulking about!
I do like a good sample library, but what I'm usually looking for might be a bit different than most - when I put together my own sample collections I'm mostly trying to generate samples that I think will be the most useful for 'turning inside-out', so to speak
I would've loved to hear the 'finer' kinds of noise between 17-23 bits though it's safe to say those wouldn't be available. Nonetheless, this was more interesting than I expected.
I don't believe I demo'ed any 24-bit artifacts in this video, they were notably different from the 16-bit ones but especially with the dark reverb they generally required making much longer recordings

thank you! this one was new to me as well, but I'll take the credit :D :D :D
@@maxmarco learning never stops ( cliche) thanks for sharing your learnings:)
I love how you come up with some interesting sounds from something completely chaotic.

Man i love your videos. Hard to keep up sometimes but such inspiration for new ways to use the OT. Keep smashing it.
got an Octatrack about 2 months ago and your videos have been a godsend. Thanks for doing these man.

thanks a lot! OT is a fantastic piece for minimal setups
Continues to amaze me what you can do on this machine. Keep up the good work.

So cool! Very inspiring sound design techniques. Thx !
This is SOOOO cool! Very inspiring, thank you! I’ll sure try using this in my dealings with OT.

its so much learning in for me in your tacks ...thx for very interesting demo
thank you! most of the credit for this one goes to woulg via Mr. Bill :)
@@maxmarco has he an yt channel?
I linked woulg's YT channel as well as the video of the Mr. Bill presentation I got this idea from in the video description
@@maxmarco thx , sorry I was just toooo lazy forgive me
Great tutorial! Thanks! I would also put some peak and -peak EQ and make them drift across each other with a custom lfo
thank you! that is definitely a good way to bring motion to a sound, particularly noisy ones like these
Incredible!
Super cool! I've got to try it on the Digitakt, the reverb is super different so we might find different artifacts :o

Also well done on writing out the whole project title name on it! hahaha :)
haha! spending time naming (and re-naming) projects appropriately is something I've found very worthwhile to do, especially the longer I use the OT!
This is GOOD NOIZE!

Awesome
You are an Octagod!
Just needed a kick four times ever bar. Nice.
Who needs a sample library when you have this kind of skills and a sine wave... creating music out of “nothing”...

hooooooly shiiiit (all these years later)
Quite filthy
yea that filth is getting pretty thicccccc
