Hi,
I am a new Octatrack user, just bought it last week and in love with it.
Now I am facing this little workflow issue where I am using the same audio sample on 2 different tracks…
…but each time i am making changes to track 1, like slice points…track 2 is getting affected…how can
i do this independently without the track 1 and 2 having the same changes ?
Because i noticed the slice parameters only gets affected, not FX…
Thanks !
Welcome!
Load the same sample into two different sample slots in the sample slot list.
Set the playback machines on the two tracks to use the two different sample slot list entries.
When you have the chance, download and read Merlin’s “Some thoughts on Elektron’s Octatrack” PDF document, which explains this kind of thing nicely.
Thank you Peter ! getting the pdf now. You guys are such a great community, thanks again !
Just to expand on Peter’s excellent advice…
Samples are independent of tracks. You are merely telling Track 01 to playback Static 01 and Track 02 to playback Static 01 as well.
Because both Track 01 and Track 02 are playing back Static01… when you modify the slice points etc, you are modifying the sample… as both tracks are referencing the sample, you get the effect you were having.
Like Peter said, duplicate the sample into a second slot.
