The goal was to automate a Megabreak of Doom with the Arranger.
Better to understand how is it made, its purpose…
Octatrack 64 breakbeat x 16 slices megabreak of doom:
Record 8 Loops
It can be 8 loops you mangle with the crossfader, but in my case it was
4 Rage again the Machine loops
4 Beastie Boys
I used all recorders.
Free recorders recording the 8 loops with 4 recorders
I needed more recorders so I grouped recordings by 2
I used recorders R1 R3 R5 R7 to record previous recordings, sample locked. Forget start point values, and focus on colors only.
R1 records previous recordings 1 and 5 (red and green)
R3 records previous recordings 2 and 6 (orange and blue)
etc…
Record matrix with start points
Here I plocked recordings with start points in order to reorganize slices.
I used recorders R2 R4 R6 R8
Back to 8 loops, sample locks of previous R2 R4 R6 R8 recordings.
