First let me say how much I love my Octatrack MKII. It’s my first Elektron product, and I am sure it won’t be my last :).
I was wondering if Elektron had considered adding additional Scale Modes to the OT MKII? While having access to the Chromatic Scale is fantastic, I find myself wanting to lock my playback to other Scales.
I currently use Audiobus 3 on my iPad to do this. It allows me to lock the Scale and Key to a handful of options. I then route the Midi out from the OT to my various soft and hardware synths, so I can insure playback in a Harmonic Scale in the key of E on all my connected devices. While this workflow is great, I really want to take the setup on the iOS aspect out of the equation, and use the OT solely to drive my Scale and Key for my session of play.
I am sure this isn’t a new request, but I thought I’d toss my request into the box and start the conversation again.
I truly love the OT MKII and look forward to many late nights of joyous music creation with it.
I was copying this above link.
I didn’t check realtime scale with external midi, and I think @avantronica wrote it was working with recorded notes only.
No scale implementation for samples, but you can use trigs with leds only for C major, transpose with a constant lfo (+scenes) for other scales!
You can set a scale with lfo designer and randomize it.
With midi tracks and midi loopback you can play samples with scale, arp, etc…
Hey thanks man, ok you can’t use scales with samples,
but can you tune a sample to play in chromatic mode ?
the note I have is C# can I tune it to a C to use in chromatic mode
the pitch doesn’t work in chromatic mode as
I assume that’s what is already being used to play the notes
Edit: just realised can use rate to tune the sample but can only tine it down,
Is there another way or is that the way?
Great thanks, that should help with those scales,
will spend a bit more time tomorrow to suss it out…
going to check out the thread about the lfo designer as well
