DATE/TIME SETTINGS is where the day and time settings are set.
MIXER MENU
In the MIXER menu settings for the headphones output, inputs A/B and C/D are made.
While in this menu the function of the
[TRIG] buttons will be to mute or cue tracks. The
MIXER menu settings are common for all banks and patterns in a project.
MIX determines what will be heard from the headphones output. If the indicator is set is to
the leftmost position, the headphones output will be a mirror of the main outputs. If set to
the rightmost level only audio from cued tracks will be routed to the headphones output. A
zero setting will balance cued tracks and main output track levels evenly. Any setting inbe-
tween these settings will change the balance either in favor of the main tracks or the cued
tracks.
MAIN/CUE OUT sets the general output level of the main and cue outputs respectively. A
zero setting will neither gain nor attenuate the signal. A +63 setting will boost the signal
12dB.
AB/CD DIR offers parameters that will make the Octatrack act like a very basic mixer. It
simply routes audio coming from the A/B and C/D inputs to the main outputs. DIR affect the
level of the incoming audio. An AB/CD DIR setting of 0 will cut out incoming audio alto-
gether. When AB/CD DIR is set to 127 the incoming audio amplitude for the input pair will
be neither be increased or attenuated. AB/CD DIR is dependent on the AB/CD GAIN set-
tings.
•
These settings are completely independent from the THRU machine settings.
Incoming sound won’t be affected by any of the dual FX blocks, but will be
affected by the Master FXs if such a track is used. Use THRU machines for affect-
ing incoming audio with the FX blocks. AB/CD DIR settings are however affected
by the AB/CD GAIN settings.
•
This mode of input is handy when you perform live and don’t have any Octatrack
tracks to spare. Depending on the size of your setup a dedicated mixer might not
be necessary at all.
AB/CD GAIN can attenuate or gain the audio signal coming from inputs AB/CD. A -64 set-
ting will mute audio altogether, a setting of 0 will neither gain nor attenuate the signal and a
setting of +63 will boost the signal by 12 dB. These settings affect the volume of incoming
audio when sampling, when setting
AB/CD DIR levels and when using THRU machines.
MUTE offers a visualization of the mute and solo status of the tracks. When the MIXER
menu is open [TRIG] keys 1-8 affect the internal tracks and [TRIG] keys 9-16 affect the
MIDI tracks.
