You can take it one step further and not even use a thru track! Just set the source to AB/CD or however the external instrument is connected

Use a Recorder and a Flex instead of Thruā€¦

I donā€™t think anything is particular with it. Itā€™s just an easy thing Iā€™ve grasped early with the OT

Yeah, I often set the source on the recorder to AB/CD/whatever. No need for a thru or flex machine to record a sample

ā€œEdit This Recordingā€ just open recording buffer in AED. It isnā€™t a recording technique such rec buttons, rec trigs, one shot rec trigsā€¦

You can open rec buffer quicker with RECAB + BANK on OT MKI.
Probably similar shorcut on MKII.

Use the amp envelope on thru tracks, place trigs, chop stuff up, plock the shizzle out of it, use TRC.
