IMPROV: Octatrack MKII & Novation Peak


Published on Jun 4, 2018 Bearded Beeps

"Quick play with Octatrack this evening. I got to grips with the MIDI functions. I was sequencing the Novation Peak with the OT and then running the sound back into the OT to manipulate on a Thru track. I also played with some parameter locks on the MIDI tracks as well as the Thru.

I'm getting the hang of the OT's workflow. Loving the Scenes function to add distortion and decay to sounds on certain tracks to add more contrast. I'm finding the best way for me to use it is to create a palette of sounds I want to work with first (sometimes outside of the OT - either in other hardware or samples) and then create tracks from there in the OT. The OT bring a focus for me and I love being able to perform transitions and effects 'live'/hands on - it feels better than doing this in a DAW, but doubt I'll ever move away from DAW as part of my overall workflow.

The sound is recorded using the Behringer UFX1204 - straight into the USB drive at the back - nice and handy."
