Yeah the “wascal files” posted are definitely not the pristine sounding example as in the wascal video.
I feel like this technique needs a bit more exploration with a solid explanation of the best settings using specific terminology.
I thought I was being meticulous, but as you stated, it’s an endeavor that can leave you sore.
So I am interested in trying this out on DT. Since there is no fader it seems the x/y will be x= plock start and y=LFO to sample select
Anyone tried this yet and had useful results? I suppose that sending an external midi cc to sample select from a controller would get you closer to the OT experience
Normally you should sample lock and use manual start I think. Ot’s crossfader changes start/slice, but you can use the start knob instead.
Doable with AR if possible with DT.
The problem is the start time doesn’t lock to intelligent values. The increments of 4 thing is useless. That + no slices. If it was 7.5 we’d be in business. I think the best thing you could do on DT would be plock your start times (closest thing to slices) and the use an LFO to change samples.
Why ? If you have 120/4=30 loops, it should work, no ?
Why do you want to use an lfo ? Why not Sample knob ?
With OT I’ll try to plock start and play sample slots to check if it works that way.
Maybe it’s better as your say, as you have sample control with DT.
So I tried with OT , and apparently you don’t need matrix loops if you modulate samples instead of slices.
Try to plock starts ’ and change (same length) samples with the knob. Easier Megabreak with DT and AR ?
I tried with plocks on start/slices, works if I change the default sample track, not with slots.
I set an lfo on start/slices, no trigs, and it worked playing slots in Slots mode.
You won?
I’m having trouble just adding the slot machine, I see pickup, thru, flex…
If I could just load the slot machine, and then win, I could afford mk2!
(Edit: Sorry folks, not a hint of seriousness in this post)
I don’t know what I won.
It’s funnier with crossfader, but it’s interesting to play slots, triggering samples with QPlay=1/16, perfectly sync.
Could you try this with AR ?
I wish, at this point I need like a month of life catch up before I have time for experiments…
Still haven’t tried on OT, have thread bookmarked, will try on both when I finally get lab time again…
Yeah but that’s true for dividing loops, not for choosing loop. With Megabreak, you choose the loop with the Start/Slice value. Rhythmical divisions don’t matter. You can have 13 starts for 13 loops if you want.
With DT/AR you may need to add silences to your samples with that OT’s method. I’d try what you suggested, plock 16 starts* on 1 bar track.
Load several one bar loops and change them with SAMP button. Hope it works. I’d like to have DT/AR to try it…
I’ve only started using the megabreak technique recently and I’ve begun creating my own recently with the help of software. I’d love a way to do it with the OT only, if it was simple enough. I’ve only used 16 x 1 bar so far.
