Elektron Octatrack - Manual (Page 15)

THE BACKGROUND OF THE OCTATRACK
3
BACKING TRACK MACHINE
Each of the eight stereo tracks can stream gigabyte-large samples. Despite the large size
of the samples they can still be subject to timestretch. Change the tempo of the Octatrack
and the backing track samples can be timestretched accordingly. On top of this you can
treat the samples with the Octatrack effects and sequencer tricks.
LIVE SETUP HUB
The two input pairs combined with the extensive audio routing possibilities allow the Octa-
track to function as a mixer. Connect for example a Machinedrum and a Monomachine to
the inputs and enjoy a complete live setup with extreme possibilities.
REMIX TOOL
It is easy to change the pitch of different sections of a vocal sample without changing the
overall tempo of the sample. Chopping up and rearranging samples and loops is extremely
simple thanks to features like the LFO designer and slice points. The Octatrack lets you
break down audio content and restructure it in new and interesting ways.
EFFECTS UNIT EXTRAORDINAIRE
Chained FX blocks paired with automated real time sampling can warble and twist incom-
ing audio in ways previously unachievable by a single machine. Two chains, each with 8
simultaneous effects, can be active at the same time.
