5. Assign a Thru machine to track 3. Set INCD to C. This will make the machine listen to
input C, which is the input the first Sidstation is connected to. Assign a Thru machine to
track 4. Set INCD to D. This will make the machine listen to input D, which is the input
the second Sidstation is connected to.
6. Assign recorder buffer 1 to track 1 and recorder buffer 2 to track 2. These buffers will
play back the sampled audio from the Sidstations.
7. Select track 1 and press [FUNCTION] + [AUDIO REC AB] to open the RECORDING
SETUP 1 menu. Set track recorder 1 to listen to input C.
8. Set the track recorder on track 2 to listen to input D.
9. Exit the RECORDING SETUP 1 menu by pressing [EXIT/NO]. Select track 3. Press
[REC] and place a trig on the first step of the sequencer. Do the same for track 4. Trig-
ging the Thru machines is necessary for them to start passing through incoming audio.
10. Press [PLAY] on the Octatrack. The other Sidstations should start playing and audio
from them will be heard through the Octatrack main outputs. Incoming sounds is indi-
cated by the <AUDIO RECORD> LEDs lighting up. You can sample the incoming audio
with the track recorders and use the recorder buffers on track 1 and 2 to play back the
recorded samples. To send audio from a track to the external effects device, press
[CUE] + [TRACK]. The DIR AB parameter in the MIXER menu effectively works as an
aux return level setting. If the signal from the external effects device is too prominent,
adjust DIR AB to taste.
