Banks , patterns, parts issues in transitions

Hi guys

I started using my octatrack trying to get transitions done. i understand the each bank has 4 parts and how they are used for. I started doing a pattern in Bank A , pattern 1 part one. I selected different samples for each track. Then when i move to pattern 2 i use part 2 same bank. This was working until i finished with my 4 parts so i had to move on to bank B , pattern 5 part 1 bank b. This changed all my patterns in bank A. Then to be sure , i just loaded samples into pattern 1 part 1 bank A and then move to pattern 2 part 2 same bank and again it messed everything up in the other patterns. Now, i even tried doing pattern 1 and then just created a new pattern , in 2, and every-time i changed a track sample affects pattern 1 when its muted or not. I have followed up merlins step by step but he doesn’t get to bank B or how to transition . My concern is that something else is going on with the OT. It worked fine with the first 4 parts and 4 patterns but not for long. I also tried saving the parts in each pattern. AM i missing something ? is there a step by step guide for this? thanks

Welcome.

Did you change sample slots assignments in Bank B ? That’s the only common thing between banks.

While in bank B, if you changed slots used in bank A, it is normal if patterns are changed…
