• The content of an audio pool is exclusive to a set. If you want to use the same
sample in two sets, the sample needs to be copied to both audio pools.
ADDING CONTENT TO THE AUDIO POOL
To add content to the audio pool the Octatrack should preferably be connected to a com-
puter.
1. Connect the Octatrack to a computer using a USB cable.
2. Open the PROJECT menu, select SYSTEM and then USB DISK MODE. Press [ENTER/
YES] to make the Compact Flash card appear as a mass storage device in the com-
puter. Read more about the USB DISK MODE in the section “SYSTEM” on page 31.
3. Using the computer, locate the set folder whose audio pool you want to add audio con-
tent to. Inside the set folder a folder called AUDIO is located. This is the audio pool of the
set. All audio material in this folder will be accessible by the projects of the set.
4. To add content to the audio pool of the set, simply drag and drop audio files or folders
containing audio files to the AUDIO folder. When done the Octatrack should be
unmounted from the computer.
• When loading samples to the Flex and Static sample slots, the file browser of the
Octatrack is used to browse the Compact Flash card. Read more about the file
browser in “FILE BROWSER” on page 28.
• After opening a set folder, the AUDIO folder and the saved projects of the set are
visible. Although audio files can be placed in the project folders it is for conveni-
ence sake recommended to put audio files only in the AUDIO folder.
• Folders and subfolders in the audio pool should contain a maximum of 1024 files
or subfolders.
AUDIO FILE COMPATIBILITY
Both Flex and Static machines can handle 16 or 24 bit/44.1 kHz wav/aiff files, either in
mono or stereo.
