This OS update adds, among other things, the Pickup machines. Pickup machines make the Octatrack function as a looper. You can record, overdub, loop, reverse, time stretch and pitch shift loops. Automatic sequencer to loop sync is designed to make it easy to blend pre-programmed Octatrack patterns with recorded takes. Pickup machines are suited for guitarists, beat boxers, DJs…
