Value proposition of two used Octatrack MKIIs?

Cool, I think it’s a good price for a mint condition OT + decksaver!

Go slowly, work on one aspect at a time, add to a todo list the aspects you feel like you need to dig in later.

First steps

First make sure you know how to load samples in memory and play them.
Static + timestretch off, possibly slices, these are my favorite settings. Parts are a bit like Analog series Kits, but you are limited to 4 different Parts per Banks.

To setup sampling, best option is imo to take the time to understand the two first pages of recording setup.

Any way to record more than 64 steps? - #5 by imacactus

This way recording is synchronized.

Last “first step” would be understanding Scenes and crossfader, I guess.

Move it

If you ever need to bring it at a friends’ place for jamming, my own recommendation is to put it in a tote bag that you put in a Thomann producer bag.

Have fun!
