Video tutorial and demo of Ultimate Octatrack Template 2FF:
All Banks and Patterns are populated with the Ultimate Octatrack FX Template x.x at a default tempo of 120 BPM and a pattern sale of 64 steps (4 bars).
***Clicks and pops can be caused by unstable BPM from external clocking sources. To avoid this use a stable clocking source such as the Octatarack itself.
***Audio MIDI Channels are disabled by default.
– Effects with an asterisk have FREEZE delays.
– “ALL” refers to effects that effect the entire mix with the same effect on both inputs A/B and C/D.
RECORDING LOOPS: To initiate a full recording press YES. Both recording buffers will initiate recordings at the beginning of 4 bars or step 1/64. Crossfade quickly into recorder scenes.
– To record on only A/B Press Track 4 + YES, a recording will start at the beginning of 4 bars or step 1/64.
– To record on only C/D Press Track 8 + YES, a recording will start at the beginning of 4 bars or step 1/64.
– All recordings are recorded at unity gain.
TO SAVE A RECORDING TO FILE: Press FUNC + REC 3 and choose “Save This Recording”. This is useful for creating stems to save and use in other projects or to transfer to your computer.
COMPRESSORS: Separate compressors are available on both stereo input sets A/B and C/D. By default, they apply mild tasteful compression to your whole mix. To set custom compressor values for each pattern, lock the compressor effect parameters on the first step of Track 1 and Track 5 within each pattern.
SIDECHAIN PUMPING: Sidechain pumping is available on all patterns and all parts. By default the pattern is 4 on the floor. To use the sidechain pumping effect turn up LFO 1 depth on Track 5. To adjust where the ducking occurs copy and paste the BRIGHT GREEN TRIGS on Track 5.
STUTTER FX: FREEZE DELAYS are available seperately on Tracks 1 and 5. To use the the FREEZE DELAY hold FUNC + DOWN ARROW and select DELAY CONTROL. GREEN button 9 controls the FREEZE DELAY for inputs A/B and GREEN button 13 controls the freeze delay for inputs C/D. Press 9 + 13 to FREEZE the entire mix. FREEZE DELAYS occur before effects are applied so you can hold a frozen buffer and then apply effects.
RECORD STACKING TRICK:
1. Press YES to start a recording of both inputs.
2. Perform on either the A/B side or the C/D side by adjusting parameters or playing new notes.
3. After that, crossfade to the scene that reflects those changes. If you were on the A/B side, crossfade to scene 14; if you were on the C/D side, crossfade to scene 15.
4. Once you’ve done this, select the side you haven’t recorded on by highlighting the Track that records the opposite input. If you recorded on A/B, highlight Track 8; for C/D, highlight track 4.
5. Now prepare to play something on the machines you haven’t recorded on and press REC 3.
6. At the beginning of the next 4 bars, the recording will start.
7. After you have finished recording, switch to scene 16. Your crossfader should already be fully engaged since you started on either scene 14 or 15.
