Techno Performance Template Beta 4 (Patreon)

Included in this post is a link to the beta version of the new Techno Template. It has only 1 bank populated with the template and is missing several scenes I choose to delete.

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:

Plug in the USB to your Octatrack -> On your Octatrack press PROJ to enter the Settings -> System -> USB Disk mode ->

Your Octatrack will mount as a disk on your computer. Open your Octatrack drive on your computer and find your set folder (typically called PRESETS MKII if you have a MKII).

Open your set folder on your Octatrack via your computer -> Drop the UNZIPPED project folder called Techno Performance Template x.x in with your other project folders on your Octatrack.

Press NO on your Octatrack to leave disk mode.

Open the project file called Techno Performance Template x.x on your Octatrack.

TO RECORD: Select Track 4 and press YES. Wait until you see the >+ symbol on track 4 and press REC-3 twice. Cross fade to track 16 to switch to your recorded 4 bar loop.

TO SAVE A RECORDING TO FILE: Press FUNC + REC 3 and choose "Save This Recording". This is useful for creating stems to save and use in other projects or to transfer to your computer.

COMPRESSORS: Separate compressors are available on both stereo input sets A/B and C/D. By default, they apply mild tasteful compression to your whole mix. To set custom compressor values for each pattern, lock the compressor effect parameters on the first step of Track 1 and Track 5 within each pattern.

SIDECHAIN PUMPING: Sidechain pumping is available on all patterns and all parts. By default the pattern is 4 on the floor. To use the sidechain pumping effect turn up LFO 1 depth on Track 5. To adjust where the ducking occurs copy and paste the BRIGHT GREEN TRIGS on Track 5. You can externally trigger SIDECHAIN PUMPING by sending a MIDI note to CHANNEL 5 on the Octatrack.

STUTTER FX: FREEZE DELAYS are available separately on Tracks 1 and 5, and 16. To use the the FREEZE DELAY hold FUNC + DOWN ARROW and select DELAY CONTROL. GREEN button 9 controls the FREEZE DELAY for inputs A/B and GREEN button 13 controls the freeze delay for inputs C/D. Press 9 + 13 to FREEZE the entire mix. FREEZE DELAYS occur before effects are applied so you can hold a frozen buffer and then apply effects. Hold GREEN button 16 to freeze the entire mix above all other FREEZE DELAYS. Have fun with this.

What I would like is for people to play with the 8 bar FX and try the looper to see how it feels. This is the only way to do this on the Octatrack. If the tempo disconnected sequencer and the 3 band master EQ are not important to users than I can make the template closer to the Ultimate FX template's design.

MASTER EQ: To use the master equalizer lock in your preferred EQ parameters on step 1 and 2 of track 8. Track 8 is only 2 steps long. This way when you switch parts the EQ will remain the same.
