Octatrack Tutorial Video: Tape Stop Effect!

Tape Stop Effect: In this tutorial I share how to use the delay on the master track paired with an LFO and the crossfader to create a tape stop effect.

Thanks very much for the easy, straight forward explanation. I tried this in my latest video and it worked perfectly. Please keep posting more tutorials.

your OT tutorials are quite impressive and make great use of this flexible machine. will defo steal some of this stuff XD

Love your tutorials on the Octatrack dude! Thanks a lot!

[monomakes]

Great stuff! I'm going to try this right away.
The OT is a real keeper in my studio, principally because of things like this, thank you for highlighting it.

Hi Matthew! I'm wondering if you're able to make a video on how you structure your crossfader effects. Can you explain how you take note of these effects with the writing under all of the trigs?

Can someone tell me, is it possible to lock the Rate (speed and pitch, like tape speed) to samples, so that when I change the BPM, the samples speed up/slow down according to the changes? I’m not talking about timestretching or pitch algorithms, just actual speed/rate of samples.

Hi EZBOT and thnx for your tutorials! They are really awesome and helpful.
I cannot reach that effect and I did all the steps. OS 1.40 right now
Still cant get what I do wrong

Nice tutorial always amazing to watch I have a question the stutter only works when I turn lock off not understanding why does it depend on the machines I'm using such as flex vs static?

Nice video, thanks! What I can't figure out is why I can't remove a delay feedback tail that remains upon moving crossfader back to A. Whatever I tried didn't work out, and if I just reduce the dly feedback it's not the delay I wanted anymore. Is there something I'm missing?

Hey man! I cannot get it to work once I lock the LFO settings. With your settings I (spd 100/ dpt 10) all I get is a short high pitched sound. If I put the depth at 20 I sorta get the tape stop effect but with a low sample rate effect (lofi style), any clues?

Cool😎…I think then a turntable like stop should also be possible: lfo and crossfader automation on pitch and/or rate in the same way. I know there is no pitch on the mastertrack, I’ll try it on a flextrack with an amenbreak this evening.
Btw: to make a stutter fx a square lfo on the volume is the easiest way i think. i want that the crossfader controls the rate of the stutter fx but synced....-only 8th, 16th etc. nothing between. Do you have an idea how to make that?

Experimenting with different LFO settings now....
