For all the samples used here, plus the amazing community of musicians who made the sample pack, please support my work on Patreon: A semi-improvised jam performed solely on the Elektron Octatrack MkII. For our spring collaboration, my Patreon community and I put together our first sample pack, a collection of loops and one-shots for both melodics and drums/percussion. It’s an incredible collection of over 250 samples, and to celebrate its creation, we made songs using the samples as our starting point. Here, I started by taking my favourite loops and one-shots from the sample pack and turning them into a collection of perfectly sized sections for the Octatrack. Once I imported them into the Octatrack, I started mangling and developed scenes, transitions, and extra parts to fill in all the gaps. The Octatrack is the perfect device for taking an 8-bar loop and figuring out a way to get from the beginning to the ending of a song. Thanks for listening, and I hope you check out and use the sample pack for yourself.
