recorder trig listens to is indicated by inverted source graphics in the LCD and by lit
<AUDIO RECORD> and <MIDI> LEDs. Deselect a source by repeating the procedure. If
the source selection is changed subsequent recorder trigs being placed out will default
to the latest source selection.
6.
To sample from input A/B no settings need to be altered. The recorder trig will, depend-
ing of the
INAB setting, sample either from input A, B, A/B or nothing. To deselect this
sampling source for the recorder trig, keep the [TRIG] key pressed while pressing
[AUDIO RECORD A/B] . The INAB text will become de-inverted.
To sample from input C/D, press the [TRIG] + [AUDIO RECORD C/D] buttons. The
INCD text will become inverted and the recorder will now, depending of the INCD setting,
sample either from input C, D, C/D or nothing.
To sample internal sounds, press the [TRIG] + [MIDI] buttons. The SRC3 text will
become inverted and the recorder will now, depending of the SRC3 setting, either sam-
ple the main output mix, the cue output mix, an internal track or nothing.
7.
Press [PLAY] to start the playback of the sequencer. Once a record trig is being trigged
by the sequencer the track recorder will start to sample.
PLAYBACK OF CAPTURED RECORDER SAMPLES
The captured audio files from the track recorders are stored in the recorder buffers located
in the Flex sample slot list. A sample located in a recorder buffer functions just like a Flex
sample.
1.
To assign a recorder buffer to a track, follow the instructions how to assign a sample to a
machine covered in section“ASSIGNING FLEX AND STATIC SAMPLES TO
MACHINES” on page 38. The eight recorder buffers are located in the Flex sample slot
list, above the first Flex sample. Press the
[UP] arrow key to access them.
2.
Assign the recorder buffer correponding to the track used when recording. For example,
if the track recorder on track 1 was used, select RECORDER 1.
•
Samples in the recorder buffers are not retained in memory after the Octatrack has
been switched off. If you want to keep them they need to be saved to the audio
folder of the set. This is done in the audio editor and is described in the section
“OPERATIONS” on page 62.
• Before starting to sample it is often a good idea to first assign the recorder buffer
corresponding to the track whose recorder you are going to use. For example
RECORDER 1 to track 1. When sampling with track recorder 1 you will immedi-
ately be able to play back the recorded sample.
• The samples captured by the track recorders can opened directly in the audio edi-
tor for further editing. First select the track whose recorder should be opened by
pressing the relevant [TRACK] button. Then press [AUDIO RECORD] + [BANK] to
open the recorder sample in the audio editor. Read more about the audio editor in
section “THE AUDIO EDITOR” on page 58.
