Manual Sampling - Elektron Octatrack DPS-1 User Manual

PROJECTS
setting of 16 will for example always record the equivalent of 16 1/16th notes with a scale
setting of 1x. If RLEN is set to MAX the length of the recorder sample will always be 16
seconds of length.
TRIG offers three different sampling behaviors once the sampling process is initiated.
• ONE will make the recorder, once the sampling process is initiated either manually
or through recorder trigs, sample according to the length set by RLEN. The sampling
process is restarted when pressing [TRACK] + [AUDIO RECORD]/[MIDI].
• ONE-2 will make the recorder, once the sampling process is initiated either manu-
ally or through recorder trigs, sample according to the length set by RLEN. The sam-
pling process can be stopped by pressing [TRACK] + [AUDIO RECORD]/[MIDI].
This is the default option.
• HOLD will make the recorder, once the sampling process is initiated, sample for as
long as the [TRACK] + [AUDIO RECORD]/[MIDI] buttons are pressed and held.
The outcome of the sample depend on if manual sampling or recorder trigs are used.
When HOLD is active, manually pressing [TRACK] + [AUDIO RECORD]/[MIDI] the
recorder will sample for as long as the buttons are pressed and held, given they are
not pressed longer than the time frame of the RLEN setting allows.
When sampling through the use of a recorder trig, the trig will capture only silence as
long as [TRACK] + [AUDIO RECORD]/[MIDI] is not manually pressed. An example:
a recorder trig with an INAB setting of A+B, TRIG set to HOLD and with an RLEN
setting of 16 is placed on the first step of the sequencer. [PLAY] is pressed to start
the sequencer. When the sequencer reaches step 4 [TRACK] + [AUDIO RECORD
A/B] is pressed and held and just before the sequencer reaches step 6 the button
combination is released. The recorded sample will then consist of 3 inital 1/16th
notes of silence, 2 1/16th notes of audio and finally 11 1/16th notes of silence.
SRC3 chooses which internal source should be recorded.
• - will make the recorder disregard any internal sources when sampling. This is the
default option. It is only possible to record and play back the recording on the same
sequencer step when SRC3 is set to -.
• MAIN will make the recorder sample the mix routed to the main outputs.
• CUE will make the recorder sample the mix routed to the cue outputs.
• T1 - T8 will make the recorder sample the output of the selected internal track.
LOOP sets whether the captured sample will loop or not.
If a source is set to "-" and you try to sample from it, only silence will be recorded.
