Giz a demo!!!

Nothing AMazing, but using this AM phase reset, you can keep attacks or not on trigs, trigless trigs, depending on Amp and Phase settings. Starting with 0° phase setting helps to feel the difference with off setting, and understand AM behavior with phase reset. 180°, changes attack, interesting too. With phase off setting I was using before, attack was unpredictable, which I disliked.

I made a kind of kick adding an Exp/One lfo, had interesting results with slides…

In lower range, AMF seems synced to tempo, not sure, and with a certain range above 100 it seems chromatically tunable…:thinking:

On a track with noise I combined tuned AM with comb filters, setting their scale with lfo designers, really interesting to me!

Still investigating! :content:

Cheers Sezare! I’ll read it a few times and see if I can get my head around it.

For the start OT is amazing just for this:

  • take loop
  • slice it
  • put triggers with probabilities and conditions
    Variations from just track will be so cool, that will cover a lot or drum machine duties.
    Add one more track of like this, and you will be golden)

Bought the MKI for around $1100 and two months later the MKII was announced and every online shop was blowing out the MKI new for $800, but even at the time I

A) preferred the MKI design and was glad I got one new
B) would definitely have liked to save that $300 but also felt like having two more months with an Octatrack in my life was worth it.

Everywhere I look the MKI is around $900. Reverb prices for pretty much anything are insane though.

Reverb is not an online marketplace for used gear, it’s an online boutique shop with premium prices. I avoid it unless there’s no other option.

A lot of people use Reverb because they only charge 3% compared to 10% Ebay. Checkout the history of sales theres been a few OT at reasonable prices.

How do you look at past sales history?

Yeah I bought my second MKI off Reverb in 2017 and it came with a battery issue. I fixed it but I would be cautious buying from just some dude on there. Chicago Music Exchange (which is the same company or once was) has always been easy to deal with and pretty honest in my experience.

When you go to sell something there’s a button(say selling an OT) that lets you check.You dont have to publish. Im not sure as a buyer.

The OT is amazing but not for me, so what happens next?

It has been quite quiet recently from Elektron. Daniel Troberg and Ess are not working for Elektron anymore and there was a survey. Have no idea what to expect in the future from Elektron???

Has CGI improved more than the music in 10 years?

Well here some time-stretching and pitch-shifting from 20 years ago.

Wonder why they are no longer with Elektron.

Also, I have a feeling something big is coming this month or next month.
