with the knob A. A good position would be right before the downbeat. Press [FUNC-

TION] + [ENTER/YES] to preview the sample from the start point.

6. Press [PLAY] to start the sequencer of the Octatrack.

7. Press [TEMPO] to open the TEMPO menu. Turn the LEVEL knob to adjust the tempo.

Once the sample loops seamlessly you know that this BPM is the original tempo of the

sample.

8. Exit the TEMPO menu by pressing [EXIT/NO]. Press [EFFECT 1] to open the ATTRIB-

UTES menu in the audio editor. Select ORIGINAL TEMPO and set it to the current Octa-

track BPM. Depending on the character of the sample, make sure TIMESTRETCH is set

to either NORMAL or BEATS.

9. Press [EXIT/NO] to exit the audio editor. In the PLAYBACK SETUP menu, set TSTR to

AUTO. No matter the BPM of the Octatrack sequencer, the loop will now be time

stretched or time compressed accordingly and thus stay in sync.

• To permanentely link the start point and ORIGINAL TEMPO settings to the sample,

use the SAVE SAMPLE SETTINGS command found in the FILE menu.

THE OCTATRACK AS A DJ DECK

The Octatrack can function as a complete DJ setup, eliminating the need for both DJ decks

and a DJ mixer.

1. Connect a pair of headphones to the Octatrack headphones output.

2. Double press [TRACK 1] to open the QUICK ASSIGN menu. Assign a Static machine

to track 1. Press [TRACK 5] and assign a Static machine to track 5. This makes it easier

to remember where the different tracks you are going to mix between are located. The

left block of tracks could be said to represent one DJ deck and the right track block

another. Make sure none of the tracks contain any trigs.
