TRACKS
The Octatrack can control 8 internal stereo tracks at the same time. For a track to be able
to process or affect sound a machine needs to be assigned to it. Thru and Neighbor
machines offer various audio routing options. Flex and Static machines are used to process
samples. Read more about the various machine types and the controls available to them in
“Appendix A: MACHINE REFERENCE“.
Each track has 5 TRACK PARAMETER pages, each consisting of one MAIN page and one
SETUP page. The MAIN pages are accessed by simply pressing the
[TRACK PARAME-
TER] keys and offer parameters that are possible to parameter lock and modulate with the
LFOs. Parameters located in the SETUP menus are accessed by either pressing [FUNC-
TION] + [TRACK PARAMETER] or by quickly double pressing a [TRACK PARAMETER]
button. Setup parameters cannot be parameter locked or affected by the LFOs and usually
affect the behavior of the main parameters.
• The parameters found in the SETUP menus opens up for more in-depth control of
a machine, track or effect. It is recommended that you first acquaintance yourself
with the parameters found in the MAIN pages before experimenting with the
SETUP menu parameters.
• The parameters found in the PLAYBACK and EFFECT 1/EFFECT 2 pages differ
depending on the machine and effects assigned to the track.
ASSIGNING MACHINES TO TRACKS
Machines can be assigned to a track in either the QUICK ASSIGN or PLAYBACK SETUP
menus.
ASSIGNING MACHINES IN THE QUICK ASSIGN MENU
Open the QUICK ASSIGN menu by quicky double pressing the [TRACK] button of the
track you wish to assign a machine to.
