Hi Guys,

I have got recently a new sampler, the Octatrack. After I got my hands on for a couple of hours in order to learn the basic functions of this machine I decided to record a short jam session. I hope you like it.

Listen on Soundcloud.com

Cheers

I would like to give you some suggestions for improvements:
- add feedback pots to your MB-6582 and enable the EXT filter function - this will result into a more aggressive bassline
- switch to the Knobs layer in the oscillator section, so that the most important parameters CutOff/Resonance/EnvMod/Decay/Accent are directly accessible, you should change them more often
- is it possible to route the audio output of MB-6582 through the Octatrack and to apply some effects?
- (I only played an Octatrack once and therefore I'm unsure but..) is it possible to sample MB-6582 during a session for some beats and thereafter to apply effects on such a sample?

Currently it sounds like two different instruments are playing in parallel, but somehow I miss the interaction between the instruments. Add at least a compressor (or limiter) at the end of the audio chain.

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hi Thorsten,

thanks for your feedback. You are right with your statements, the session is to static overall... There is a lot to improve. I will try to apply your suggestions in the next session...
