Roland TR-8 trigger Octatrack samples?

Hey guys, so the tr-8 has got an update that allows it to trigger external gear…


According to this page, its not just limited to other Roland gear and should work with any other midi gear.

Has anybody been able to set this up with their Octatrack?
Ive tried setting it up, but cannot get it to work… can anybody help?

My tr8 has been gathering dust, but if I can sequence it to play samples from my octra I think it’d be like getting a new bit of gear!

Cheers

Nick

The update for the TR-8 appears to be optimized to support the Roland SP-404. The TR-8 documentation gives no procedure for adjusting which MIDI Note messages it sends.

The OT will only play samples in response to MIDI Note numbers 72-96. Do you have any means of monitoring what MIDI notes the TR-8 is sending?
