PROJECTS
31
SAVE TO NEW saves a copy of the active project under a new name. After selecting this
option a naming window will appear. If the currently mounted set contains no projects it is
advised to save the current settings and sample assignments to a new project.
EXPORT TO SET allows the currently active project to be exported to a different set. All
samples located in the Flex and Static sample slot lists of the active project will be copied to
the destination set. Samples located in the project folder will be copied to the new project
folder and samples located in the audio pool will be copied to the audio pool of the destina-
tion set. Note that the active project will be saved, just as if a project SAVE command had
been performed, prior to being exported to the new set. It is possible to export a project to
a new, empty set which can be created in the export process. This will create a set contain-
ing only the exported project together with an audio pool stripped of unnecessary samples.
To make sure the audio pool of the new set only contains samples actually being used by
the project, the PURGE SAMPLES command can be used on the project prior to export.
SET CHANGE will change sets. Read more about sets in section “SETS” on page 22.
COLLECT SAMPLES copies samples that are used by the currently active project into the
project directory, which will effectively disconnect the project from the audio pool.
PURGE SAMPLES will remove all unused samples from the project. Note that samples are
only removed from the Flex and Static sample slot lists of the project; the actual samples
will not be deleted from the audio pool.
SAVE CURRENT BANK works like the save project command, but on a per bank basis.
The command will save the settings and assignments of the currently active bank.
RELOAD CURRENT BANK works like the reload project command, but on a per bank
basis. The command will revert the currently active bank to the previously saved state.
SYSTEM
In this menu the USB connection is activated, OS updates performed, date and time set
and personal settings made. It also contains a file manager for basic file editing tasks.
USB DISK MODE enables the USB connection. Connect the Octatrack to a computer
using a USB cable, select USB DISK MODE and press [ENTER/YES] to make the Com-
pact Flash card appear as an external mass storage device to the computer. When the
Octatrack is connected to a computer via USB audio pools can be filled with content. Read
more about this in the section “ADDING CONTENT TO THE AUDIO POOL” on page 24.
• Unmount the Octatrack from your computer operating system once you want to
exit USB DISK MODE.
