CO5MA « If Darth Vader had an infernal machine, this would be it »
Published on 09/02/14 at 07:59I will give a simple notice because technically everything is listed below.
It's a sampler, an audio mixer, a looper, a drum machine, a machine sound / sound design create an audio and MIDI sequencer ....
For me, it lacks (at connection level) as separate outputs.
UTILIZATION
How to say ... Read on forums, if Octatrack had to go out to the "full frame", ie without shortcuts, with all functions on a single panel, it would easily be the size of a huge coffee table.
Requires a LONG investment in time and energy.
Because it has its own logic. Forget everything you knew before, it will do you virtually nothing. It is you who have to bend you to his way of doing that is all. It's frustrating at first, even repulsive.
Simply, it is like a beautiful lady in the black dress that you would like to woo. Class, beautiful, classy, which can take you to the stars, but it will comply with its unusual methods.
And when, little by little, we realize that the beautiful lady in the black dress offers increasingly there is an imminent departure for the Star Gate. Yes, I should stop any illegal substance, but I swear I've often thought of that metaphor.
In short, to tell you that there is a threshold of use. I know many who are discouraged BEFORE the threshold and have given up. Too bad, because I'm sure they were not far from satisfaction was coming crescendo.
Personally, I'm hooked and, oh how well I did!
This is actually a machine that will go down in legend. There was a before and after there will be a Octatrack.
So I can not say that the use is simple or difficult. It depends if you join or not its logic.
When mastery (I think after one year half of use, I mastery to 85%), we find that it's very logical. But it mostly means that one is completely folded SA thank you!
Next, we take a MachineDrum or MONOMACHINE, or A4, and say "mouah ah ah ah! That's dough, too simple to use!"
So I do not score that. It depends on the user, its understanding of the craft and the time he can spend.
SOUNDS
It's a sampler, if they do not give him anything to eat, she will have nothing to say.
on the other hand: it has a fabulous potato and internal effects are of very high quality.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 1 year 1/2.
Whenever I use it, I'm like "who's the guy who had the idea to invent this stuff ????????." Either the guy behind is a great autism or autistic is awesome. In truth, what was the original idea ???? For this black box is just about everything. Can sampler, mixer, remixer, distort, destroy, improve is a looper, a synthesizer, a sequencer ...
I find it hard to imagine when its inventor said in the meeting: "So sit back guys, I have an idea, we'll do that."
And then he did in 1000 diagrams on a whiteboard.
The chief engineer was sweating at full throttle. Then the CFO said something like "But ... people will never 1 million to deform music !?" And the creator of answer "no no, but we will sell about 1000 €." That day several parties on sick leave in Elektron.
The Octatrack is the Pandora's Box. This is the Monolith 2001 the Space Odyssey. Once contacted, or we will burn your hands and separates or is allowed to be attracted to the darkness of the cosmos and there you can discover a whole new universe, governed by rules that are beyond our wildest imagination : Hyper-Space 2.0 Musical
