It's just files, you put the files and folders into your computer and bring them back into the other card.You need to make sure you do a proper "save" on the Octatrack. If not, projects in a buffer type thing may be lost. Not got my OT anymore but I fell foul of this.
Oh, right, of course you do !
Save your Parts (edit/save all), then your Project.
Of course. Thx @ghostly606 for underlining this.
Looking at the 64GB Lexar 1066x VPG 65. I think that should work, no?
Ask it on Elektronauts, pal.
Plenty of savvy people there

Don’t feel like joining what looks to be an aggravating forum, but I did find out some people were using SanDisk Extremes and Amazon.ca has 'em for 70 bucks.
Gonna do some testing to see if the card really needs changing or not, but I dunno, a bigger card would be nice anyways. Kinda don’t want to be switching cards given the OT’s reputation for flimsiness in the CF slot department.
If you take a 32GB card, you won’t need to switch it again. I did it only once
What do you mean with “aggravating” ?
“GAS aggravating” ?

Yeah, 64GB might be a little much. I don’t work with big samples, anyways.
I saw a lot of arguing on there. I like chill forums like this one.
I understand what you’re saying. It’s quite a task to bring people to love, or at least respect each other, indeed.
But there are not that much arguing, in the end.
More than here, for sure.
My belief is that somehow, TE devices just seduce only people who have a certain mindset. One for accepting limitations despite the cost and transform it into creation… Like the way OP1 was conceived is a natural repellent for bad behavior, sort of…

Ya have to love the little gadget or it won’t work for you at all. Hence all those cute graphics to make you smile so you keep turning it on to work with it. It’s trying to help!
Also, today in “Jellygeist is an Idiot”, I was recording things off of the OP-1 and i was wondering why they sounded so horribly clipped and awful. Turns out I was recording them into tracks that had the Lo-Fi effect cranked way the fuck up. So there was a good twenty minutes of argh.
Oh well! Working on transitioning between patterns without it being so jarring. I think I’ve seen tutorials about this on YouTube so that’s where I’ll head.
Also, I used an OP-1 pre-set for the bass on this project because those presets are too good to NOT use. I think it was for Phase which is kind of a weird synth to dial in anyways.
I often start giving a piece of advice concerning the OT, but then realize I don’t know the names of the buttons where stuff is found… So yeah, it becomes muscle memory
Basically, what I was saying is “Start silent” is what really helps with changing patterns. Some things you want to carry on to the next pattern, some most definitely not.

hehe yeah I guess it’s pretty damn unclear…
The “start silent” setting dictates whether sounds carry on to the next pattern. Say you set START SILENT to YES on A02, track 1. On pattern A01 you have this crazy pad going on. When you switch to A02, the pad gets stopped because of the START SILENT setting.
I often have samples that are either set to loop or are longer than the pattern itself. To keep these sounds from polluting the next pattern, START SILENT works wonders.
Manual p. 91.
Oh, didn’t know this “start silent” setting…
I feel like I should re-read this manual, OT was my very first Elektron and there are a lot of things that were blurry at best, in these days
Thanks for the tips, friends.
I’m taking a bit of a break in order to get over a sinus infection. Kind of hard to be creative when you can barely breathe
Ahahah same here !
I can breathe again! Naps cure a lot of things that aren’t messed up sleep schedules. Trust Dr. Jelly on that.
Anyways, my bandmate thinks the project we’ve been working on on the OT (containing the OP-1 bassline) is “fire”. I tell ya, these kids with their slang. Anyways, looking to finish it this week depending on how tired work makes me.
Whoops, I accidentally made a strange techno thing out of one of my tracks. Except I don’t think techno goes as fast as 160bpm. Or has hi-hats that are so messed up by an LFO that they scream.
I really don’t know what happened.
Dear Octanauts, your thread (and dataline’s recent Analog Heat videos) have got me all excited about the Octatrack again. I’ve never really been able to master that black box of tricks, but am all enthused to take the bull by the horns and give it another go. Anyways I picked it up the other night and put a simple pattern together to test the water and found myself really digging it again. Sooo… last night I tried to conquer my fears and watched Tarekith’s transition trick videos. I tried to adapt what he had done on his first video (the XDIR params on the mixer page one) but couldn’t get it working. I assumed it was down to the fact that he was sampling from the A/B inputs and I was sampling internal sounds and that I must have gotten something wrong. So then I tried his second video (sampling track 8 as master) and success! Well, kind of, hehe. My sampled audio (16 beats, 1 bar) was actually playing when I moved my crossfader to the other side, but the sound would change on each pass of it, like there was an LFO on the filter or something.
…oh, hang on a minute, I’m so bloody daft - I have a feeling there was an LFO on the filter. Gonna check that tonight!
Ahah cool @yoof, can’t wait to listen to your crazy OT tracks !
@jellygeist it’s so cool when crazy things happen with this little box
Could somebody point me to the best video describing how to set up that stutter / beat repeat / freeze delay thing that dataline often does in his videos? From the looks of things, that’s also a scene based trick is it?
