ELEKTRON Octatrack MKII [22/32] Experimenting with scenes

5.5 EXPERIMENTING WITH SCENES

Scenes contain locked parameters. The crossfader is used to morph between the locked

scene parameters.

1. Select any demo pattern. Set the crossfader to its rightmost position. This will fully

activate the scene assigned to scene slot B.

2. Hold [SCENE B] and press a [TRIG] key to assign a new scene to the scene slot.

The already assigned scene is indicated by a red [TRIG] key. Experiment with as-

signing dierent scenes to the scene slot and listen to how the sound of the pattern

changes.

5.6 RECORDING A PATTERN USING GRID RECORDING

Use GRID RECORDING mode to input sample trigs to the sequencer. Sample trigs trig the

machines and samples of the tracks.

1. Press the [RECORD] key to enter GRID RECORDING mode. The [RECORD] key will

light up, indicating the mode is now active.

2. Press the [TRACK] key of the track you want to add sample trigs to.

3. Press a [TRIG] key to enter a sample trig. Press the same [TRIG] key again to

remove the sample trig. If the pattern contains more than 16 steps, use the [PAGE]

key to switch between the pattern pages.

4. To edit other tracks, change the active track by pressing the other [TRACK] keys.

5.7 RECORDING A PATTERN USING LIVE RECORDING

The LIVE RECORDING mode allows you to record sample trigs and parameter changes

while the sequencer is running.

1. To enter this mode, hold [RECORD] and then press [PLAY]. The [RECORD] key

starts to blink, indicating that LIVE RECORDING mode is activated, and the

sequencer starts to play.

2. You can now record sample trigs manually by pressing the [TRIG 9–16] keys.
