modey Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Yeah the octatrack is fitting into more of my projects than I initially expected.. I'm even considering using it with my guitar and getting back into live looping; it could result in some really wacky improvised sessions! In other news, I just bought a teensy, in order to try making stuff as amazing as the projects my friend little-scale makes: I really want to get into DIY stuff, with the aim of a possible career change into repairing/maintaining vintage synths/amps etc, and making things on the side. One of my workmates suggested I get some eurorack rails to use as a base for an entire set of DIY modules.. but that seems dangerously close to buying manufactured eurorack modules as well.. hmmmmmmm Edited April 7, 2017 by modey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TubularCorporation Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Ok, that is making me seriously start considering selling some stuff an getting one of these. The lack of direct outs would be a much smaller thing in a live setting, and it seems like it would be a really god tool for adapting what I do these days into a form that I could actually play live with, not being able to play out is really starting to get to me. I wonder how much my old EHX 2880 would fetch these days. Yeah the octatrack is fitting into more of my projects than I initially expected..

sheatheman Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) The only thing I wish was different so far is how you manually enter notes in the midi seq. I wish it was like the mnm with the arrow buttons instead of the level knob. Not a big deal though. Sampling on here is so much easier than MPC, imo. Recorder trigs are pretty amazing.

sheatheman Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I think a little bit of outboard fx plus a daw is the best of both worlds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TubularCorporation Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Yeah, ever since I complained about the lack of outputs on the Octatrack earlier I've been kind of wanting one, which cements my theory that when I think something is overrated I'm usually just in denial about wanting one. I hadn't looked at them in quite a while, they hadn't introduced the live looping mode in v1.2 yet last time I did. that's a big selling point for me. Fortunately it's well out of my budget right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
