I’m using some SCW’s with OT but for some reason the most desirable note is already the lowest C out of the 2 octaves available.
I know that to be a C, the waveform has to be a specific number of samples long. Is that relevant here and is there anything I can do to have the same note shifted up an octave so it is more playable?
Also, is OT’s BPM calculation relevant? it just seems to default to 120 in the settings but doesn’t actually show a BPM for the sample.
heres a bunch tuned to C specifically for elektron boxes. I havent used them, just googled it cause I have a similar set somewhere on my hard drive. but this might be better
I already use AudioTerm to prepare wavetables for Blofeld, i’ll take a closer look!
For now its sufficient to prepare files that are 674.25009 samples in duration, this will always play as a C2 (at 44100) but more importantly, it suits the OT better than C3, or at least it does for bass type of sounds. I’m not sure why the OT chromatic and midi mode have a different middle C to most other gear, weird choice.
Megabreack matrix chains yes ! Doesn’t seem to work above 16 split files unfortunately, from my last test after @sicijk noticed that issue. As the crossfader marks are divided in 16, it’s OK for me ! Megabreak is next level. If you are interested in, I made a test with an acid bassline :
Ah thats good to know that limitation before I get started with this new software. I made my own matrix chain a couple of years back, using Ableton Live, but I’ve stayed away from them because it was quite a lot of work to do.
With OctaChainer it looks super easy so long as you have enough source material, I think I’ll be revisiting matrix chains soon! Thanks for pointing it out!
i dont own an octatrack. was pondering getting one. (but not in the near future caus$$)
but wait. you can’t take a sample. and just put it on loop? say… like the rytm?
that seems really strange for a sampler. ?
I’ll experiment a bit myself but I have to make some source material first, not sure when I’ll get round to it but I’ll definitely try it out. It will be good to know the limits
Indeed, but there’s a relation I think. Here is an example of 16X16 Megabreack with 16 acid TB303 loops. One bar, only playing crossfader, with the 16 slices and other parameters assigned.
That sounds fantastic considering it is named ‘test’!
I would class the megabreak more like a large wavetable (or actually 16-64 wavetables!), but considering a wavetable consists of smaller individual waves, I can see the relation.
Well done sezrae56, thats a good example of a more subtle use of the megabreak, I’ve only used it/seen it used with breaks
