Thanks a lot Adam for the good introduction to the 2.7 OS of the TI. My original impression on the slicer was similar to yours, and therefore I havent even bothered to install the Beta, and sure I wasn’t gonna rush to install the final version. Your report changed that view
And thanks for the posting, we are not the only ones with the Octopus / Nemo / TI combination around here..
Cheers,Gabriel
Hello Carl,
setting the clock multiplier has to be done for each track individually.
There is currently no quicker way to do it.
GabrielHow about Tempo button in PAGE mode? It’s not used, and there’s nothing easier for explaining it in the manual: that in order to set the tempo you can tap the Tempo button…
Unfortunately in GRID mode it’s already used, semantically incorrectly, for triggering immediately or o’clock mode… Wild idea, keep it pressed in Grid mode change to immediate switching, or tap quickly to set the tempo…
That’d be 123 on 16 channels whenever I tap… but if the machine is stopped can’t we make the assumption that whatever it’s connected to it shouldn’t be playing notes? :whistle:
I know that’s a stretch… We need to define the modifier paradigm… dont’ we? So pressing play together with something else will invoke the tap tempo? Or keep stop or play pressed and tap somewhere else…
Man I can’t wait, tap the tempo, and when you’re off a bit just hit ALN, retap etc… Good thing I didn’t ask for the .10 BPM nudge, a-la-machine drum….

Personally I’d need that for live use, I normally use a Ploytec 34one II for that, which works pretty well, but ergonomics wise…
If I have to bring the octopus to a gig (I am seriously considering a custom suitcase version) I’d rather use the tap on the octopus than footswitch (has implications for start stop).I think it should be even more essential for the Nemo, which is supposed to be the portable performance friendly little brother of the Octopus. If you are playing with live musicians you need to be able to resync continuosly (unless you really want to convince all of them to play to click).
The tap tempo in stop mode could be implemented by tapping on the stop button instead of play…
In the studio I use the tap tempo on the machinedrum or software so I don’t need the functionality on the octopus for studio use.
It is probably very low on my priority list, but I have thought the same thing.
When I improvise a rhythmic pattern ("live"; no click), and then want to record it, it is a better workflow that you dont have to search for the right tempo first. Just tap the tempo you were playing, and then record.
Sounds really good Robert!
Please note though (for the sake of clarity) that currently there is up and down strumming. Not forwards/backwards. So it is about note order (top-bottom or bottom-top) not about timing.
Two days of octopussing (14308), and no crash. Phew, it must have been a faulty installation or something then. Really happy to have the newer features back.:laugh:
ehm… let’s say that… one could in fact enter manually the negative "strums" if really needed…
True a bit of a pain to set up, but if one really wants could still achieve the effect manually. In this case you would need 18 exponential PPQ phrases to mantain the current functionality, but it’d be a bit of a waste of patterns…
