THE BACKGROUND OF THE OCTATRACK

3

BACKING TRACK MACHINE

Each of the eight stereo tracks can stream gigabyte-large samples. Despite the large size
of the samples they can still be subject to timestretch. Change the tempo of the Octatrack
and the backing track samples can be timestretched accordingly. On top of this you can
treat the samples with the Octatrack effects and sequencer tricks.

LIVE SETUP HUB

The two input pairs of the Octatrack can make it function as a mixer. Connect for example a
Machinedrum and a Monomachine to the inputs and enjoy a complete live setup with
extreme possibilities.

REMIX TOOL

It is easy to change the pitch of different sections of a vocal sample without changing the
overall tempo of the sample. Chopping up and rearranging samples and loops is extremely
easy thanks to features like the LFO designer and slice points. The Octatrack lets you
break down audio content and restructure it in new and interesting ways.

EFFECTS UNIT EXTRAORDINAIRE

Chained FX blocks paired with automated real time sampling can warble and twist incom-
ing audio in ways previously unachievable by a single machine. Up to four external and
four internal sound sources can be affected at the same time.
