Octatrack Private Lessons Revealed: Sample Mangling For Beginners

This is an abbreviated online lesson on the Elektron Octatrack. The original session was cut down from over an hour to just under 28 minutes. If it seems fast, that's because it is due to the editing. All of my lessons come with a video recording of the lesson so you can go back and rewatch as much as you like. The student asked to be shown how to mangle samples on the Octatrack as well as learn about the machine in general from a new users standpoint- a where to start and what what's important type of session. This video is aimed at beginners but is packed with intermediate to advanced knowledge on the Octatrack and samplers in general. Octatrack Magnetic Overlays: https://www.modbang.com/modbang-shop/...
