Octatrack Button-fu : Mixer - Mute, Solo, Crossfader, Scenes

Some quick OctaTrack button-fu that I thought I'd share.

Mute / Solo

• Mute/unmute track - [FUNCTION]+[TRACK]
• Mute/unmute in MIXER mode - [TRIG] 1 to 8
• Solo/unsolo in MIXER mode - [CUE]+[TRIG] 1 to 8
  
  • Solo does not mute direct AB/CD
  • Solo does not mute track 8 in master mode

Note: The mute/solo for audio tracks is post effects, so no reverb/delay tails.

Scenes / Crossfader

• Assign scene - Press and hold SCENE button, select a scene with a TRIG button.
• Quick scene switch - Move crossfader to one side, press and hold the SCENE button on that side.   While holding, use the TRIG keys to quickly switch between scenes.
• Direct AB/CD Crossfade
  
  1. Press MIXER
  2. Press and hold one of the SCENE buttons, 'DIR' will change to 'XDIR'.
  3. Continue holding the SCENE button and change the AB / CD XDIR.
     
     • Select a different scene with the TRIG buttons if needed.
     • Knob B for AB XDIR, knob E for CD XDIR.   Push the knob to unassign.
