FLEX MACHINE
Flex machines offer the most extensive sound manipulation possibilities. A sample used by a Flex
machine is loaded to the RAM memory of the Octatrack. From there it can be twisted, stretched and
reassembled in multiple ways. Flex machines are unbeatable sound processors.
FLEX MAIN
PTCH adjusts the pitch of the sample. The
max setting pitches the sample up an octave, a
min setting pitches the sample down an
octave.
STRT controls the start point of the sample. If
the sample contains slices, and the SLIC
parameter in the FLEX SETUP menu is set to
ON, this parameter selects between the slices.
STRT values exceeding the number of actual
sample slices will select the last sample slice.
RATE adjusts the playback speed. It shifts
behavior depending on the RATE setting found
in the FLEX SETUP page. When set to 0 the
sample won’t be played back at all. Negative
values make the sample play backwards.
RTRG sets the number of retrigs that should
occur when a note is trigged.
RTIM sets the time between each retrig. The
time is relative to the tempo.
FLEX SETUP
LOOP sets the master loop mode setting of the
track. When set to AUTO the individual loop
settings made in the audio editor will apply.
Each sample of the track can then have its
own loop setting
SLIC selects whether slices will be selected or
not by the STRT parameter found in the FLEX
MAIN page.
RATE selects if the RATE parameter found in
the main menu will affect the timestretch or
pitch of the sample.
TSTR sets the master timestretch setting of
the track. When set to AUTO the individual
timestretch settings made in the audio editor
will apply. Each sample of the track can then
have its own timestretch setting.
TSNS adjusts the transient detection when the
timestretch algorithm is set to BEAT. The
higher the setting, the more transient sensitive
the algorithm will be.
