Elektron Octatrack Test 1 with System 8, SH-101, and Oberheim Matrix 1000
video upload by MIDERA
"Mood setting - Well, this week I got back anonymous feedback from some students that was just really negative for a course I was teaching. Made me feel pretty terrible. I've always been like a top performer, so when two students didn't like me - it really ruined my week.
Anyway, I guess that sort of just set my mood for everything else. I wrote this track as an introduction to better understand the Octatrack, which I had bought a week or two ago. I think it fails in some ways as a drum machine. The Machinedrum allows you to edit all parts for cool glitchy sounds - I don't think the Octatrack does that in the same way (although it has 'scenes' which is cool).
As a MIDI sequencer, it's surprisingly very good. I'm having trouble figuring out how to get to the 'advanced' settings for changing the speed of each part's pattern length and tempo - but I'll find it again.
A simple test I guess, just needed to know how to do some things. I imported a bunch of drum sounds, hooked it up to my Matrix 1000, System 8, and SH-101 and went to town making this monotonous mess.
One extra gripe I have, and this relates to the Roland System 8. WTF was Roland thinking, not even giving it a MIDI THRU? Such a stupid thing."
