"What's better than one Octatrack? Two, of course. In today's live stream we use my battery powered Octatrack run the Octacosm project which will be processing the OP-1 Field. The Octacosm is an Octatrack Template that turns the Octatrack into a granular effects processor which is great for processing synthesizers.

This Setup Has All You Need to Make Great Music

video upload by EZBOT

"In today's episode of Electron Talk, we take a look at the Octatrack, Digitakt, and Syntakt from both a music production and live performance perspective. Each of these three grooveboxes designed by Elektron is impressive on its own, but together, they offer unique features that complement each other's strengths and fill in the gaps where one may lack. However, they don't cover all the areas comprehensively, do they? That's where instruments like a vocal processor and a convenient polysynth come into the mix. Today, we will create techno from scratch, discuss sound design, and share our favorite gear for music production."
