Notes for this day

07:27

Testing switching from Vim to NeoVim - going to try these from zero to IDE scripts. If this works out well, I’ll do the same on all machines.

However, a planned Octatrack session is happening to night, with the newly installed single cycle waveforms.

16:33

A new tracker has just been announced by Polyend. I think I’ll stick with my OG one and keep at it! Another tracker related item: need to source a Teensy board and try out running the Dirtywave m8 in headless mode

18:00

Already starting work on the single cycle waveforms on the Octatrack - this is a good way to get some instant 303 basslines. As a reminder:

• load up a saw wave
• in playback mode, turn on loop
• in amp, turn down hold and release (set to about 80)
• in the filter play around with Q
• • also in the filter, turn 24db low pass filter and crank up the distortion
• to turn change pattern length per step, exit recording mode and select function + bank
• to turn on slides (for the sweet 303 accents) select function + bank in recording mode
