Thanks for this.

I now do the Grid/Program routine as a matter of course.

As I understand it then, doing this gives a saved ‘snapshot’ (state A) of the machine state.

If further changes are then made, resulting in state B, does the Octopus remain in state B when switched off without saving – or will it always come back with the saved state (A) when switched on again?

Sorry to be so dim about this.

I think the last (3rd) bank in the preset pool is comprised of ‘wobble’ phrases. These only subtly wobble stuff like STA and VEL attributes.

A wobble phrase can seriously add life to you track while staying subtle. Select a ton of steps in a track while playing (e.g. a hihat pattern) and scan through the wobbles to see how the ‘feel’ changes. Like all phrases, a wobble phrase can have random play mode, to make the tweaks less predictable.

Thanks Robert – I’ll away and investigate this phenomenon.

Cheers

That’s why I’ll export the wiki in a format readable by all of us, like PDF or web.

That’s a nice document Roger, thanks for sharing!

My manual is written in Voodoopad on the Mac as a wiki with hyperlinks. I plan to document as many funtions-on-objects (step, track, page…) as possible, and the information described in your document will also be covered.

I will then export the whole wiki into a single doc, maybe PDF, or RTF, or HTML. Dunno yet. This idea is it allows you to quickly do a search on things like "page clear", or "track transpose".

Cheers,
Robert

Ah. I’m a PC type so wouldn’t be able to use this.

[Angus Byrne]

An excellent idea. I’d be happy to any proofing
