- The Elektron Octatrack is a notoriously difficult sampler, if you listen to people online. But it doesn't have to be, if you take it one step at a time. In this tutorial we are taking a look at the different track types it offers. Wanna help me out? 👉 ko-fi.com/sonwu

Finally a decent tutorial on this complicated device, thank you!
Thanks, happy to hear that!
It just occurred to me that when I open an internet web browser to visit CZcams to look up a Son Wu tutorial, I actually do indeed already know who it is.
🤯🤯🤯
HAHA 😂
But wait for it…do you also know WU it is? 🤯
i've been struggling with my OT for a months now and hands down, this is one of the best tutorial OT videos i've seen out there, no bullshit, straight to the point, simple and clear! thx a lot for this
That’s very nice to hear! Thank you!
Totally agree, best octatrack tutorial so far
this was fantastic, such a concise way of explaining this. great job
Thanks!
Great explanation.
Thanks ;)
Thanks! This is one of the best quickstart videos on the Octatrack I've come accross on CZcams. 😺
Thanks, that's nice to hear!
this was a very useful angle by which to grok the 'trak.
Thanks!
THANK YOU SON WU!
My pleasure!
very well explained, thanks!!
Thank you!
Many thanks for your videos! At this point I don't even have the OT yet, just considering getting one. Currently learning the DT. Videos like yours help me understand this beast.
My pleasure! Thanks for your feedback :)
The OT is certainly a great device, if you like flexibility and trying out new things. (and solving puzzles)
Another super dope video! Thank you Son Wu!
Thanks! I'm trying to branch out a little more, glad you are enjoying it!
You explain things so well!! Great vids!
Thank you very much!
thank you. i had to download the video and watch it in 2.25x speed to pay attention. leaving this streaming so i can give u the views and watch time lol
Thank you, how thoughtful! I am glad it’s helpful to you!
Oh I’m subbing. This is the channel I’ve been waiting for. Thanks
Thank you very much! I am glad I can provide something useful to you!
Thank you!
My pleasure!
That was very clear and informative, thanks..
Thanks, I'm glad it helped!
I dont even have it yet but this helps so much along with your other OT videos.. I've trained hard with MPC ONE as my main for 6 months, and i think it's time to move up to OT... my appetite for live performance is getting stronger
Thanks. I hope you will enjoy the Octatrack. It is a great device and I am happy I tried it, but I moved on from it...for now ;)
Thank you
My pleasure!
Great video! Thanks a lot
My pleasure and thank you for watching!
The best tutorial.
Thanks Dario!
Thx For video :)
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
i stupidly didnt know (only had this device 2 weeks or less) the midi tracks are a whole separate 8 tracks than the main ones. also didnt know how the arp was edited until you did it. So thanks for that
My pleasure, glad this helped…so finally got another OT…but haven’t had much time to get back into it.
Thanks
My pleasure!
Excellent

hahaha you ended up going with grey, congrats; I know it was a difficult decision.
Very well explained. So you can have record, playback, and midi all at once on one track or only one? Been eyeing the Octatrack for years. Everytime I get close to purchasing I start to have doubts. I see from your most recent comment you moved on. Any reason and what did you get as a replacement?
Thanks! Yes, these functions are all available at the same time.
I am actually thinking of rebuying the Octatrack at the moment. It really is a great sampler and a very flexible addition to any setup.
There are some gripes and limitations, but once you properly learn it and see how to use it in your setup it is great. There's a reason it's been around for so long and seemingly is more popular than ever. The only thing holding me back right now is...money, and wondering if an OP-Z field will be released soon. Because in terms of MIDI sequencer the OP-Z is a great replacement. But not as good a sampler.
@@SONWU Thanks for responding and your overview was one of the best out there. You made it more simple to understand. Glad to hear you may buy again. That is a good sign. Seems lots of people buy and sell OT multiple times and still come back. From other videos it appears to be a swiss army knife of samplers with tons of FX capabilities. I am sold and will definitely be buying one. Looking forward to the learning curve challenge.
I have Syntact, so I am familiar with the general idea of Elektron workflow, centered on the parameter locks. But I could never understand what OT is all about. I was watching the videos, where ppl put stickers labeling the channels it looked like Chinese. Now I finally get the idea. Can you please explain in the same manner, what is crossfader AB doing, because it is also unique for OT?
Thanks for you feedback! The scenes AB are similar to parameter locks. You hold down A or B, then you lock in certain parameters. You can then slide seamlessly from your normal parameters (for example if you haven't locked any parameters on the currently selected A scene) to the locked ones in scene B, or between locked parameters of 2 different scenes. Hope this makes sense :)
@@SONWU Oh, so this is gradual transition from values locked on A to the common values on the central position and then from central to values locked on B? So actually there are 3 points (left-center-right) with intermediate values?
On Syntact there is "Fill" condition, which means a parameter lock will trigger only when/while "Fill" is pressed, so this slider works similarly?
Hi! What about octatrack private lessons? Thanks
Hi! Absolutely, I offer Octatrack lessons as well. You can book private lessons here: ko-fi.com/sonwu/shop
(I'm using the OP-Z as the thumbnail for lessons, but all gear is included in that)
Looking forward to hearing from you!
