OctaHack/OTRP: tempo dependent sample repitching (MMP/Pd, lemur)

Update 29 September 2014

OctahackOTRP MMP v3 - Now idiot-proof !!!

  • Played live using the patch on Saturday; this compelled me to make the tempo input buttons bigger.

  • looper and encoder remapping have been omitted in this version. The up side: You only need one MIDI cable now, and no setup on the OT.

EDIT 18 MAR 2015: broken link removed, will repost asap.


Update 23 September 2014

Octahack MMP v2

-now uses the same, improved repitch algorithm as the lemur version
-no longer tracks MIDI clock; you enter master tempo manually*

  • the old version is still available.

*i will happily discuss this change in detail with anyone interested when i get the time.


HoToolz Update 27 July 2014

OTRP for lemur – improved master tempo tracking and sample repitching.

  • Improved repitch: The previous, approximative algorithms used in the MMP/Pd patch (OctaHack_v101) have been replaced with an expression that is precise within the constraints given by the MIDI standard and OT’s pitch parameter scaling. (max. deviation: +/- 0.1 semitones)

  • Improved clock tracking: the lemur version relies on the internal clock_ functions, which significantly improve tracking speed and stability, compared to the current MMP/Pd version.

  • Easy setup (no “clock notes” in OT required).

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Lemur patch download - here: http://hotoolz.tk (HoToolzOTRPv1.jzml)

  • Connect OT MIDI in/out to an iOS lemur instance of OTRP via MIDI interface.

  • Within lemur, enter the original tempo of the samples playing on OT audio track 1 (faders on the left) and track 5 (faders on the right).

  • Important: Set Octatrack MIDI AutoChannel to: Off.

NOTES

  • Encoder remapping and one-touch looping (present in the Pd/MMP patch) have been omitted in this lemur version. Minimal layout suitable for most screen sizes.

  • Pd/MMP patch revision/update coming soon. The current one is still available for download.
