Octatrack + Analog 4 tutorial: How to make them work together

My latest tutorial shows how to set one machine to follow pattern changes on the other. Plus physically connecting them up.

This is something that took me quite a long time to get right, thanks to the sheer complexity of Elektron machines, and some (AHEM!) gaps in the documentation.

"Berlin School" jam

From the Wikipedia entry: "The Berlin School was a style of electronic music that emerged in the 1970s. An offshoot of Krautrock, Berlin School was so named because most of its early practitioners were based in West Berlin, Germany. It was shaped by artists such as Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, and Manuel Gottsching. Innovative Berlin School recordings were a precursor of ambient music."

I'm using sounds from: Access Virus C, Supernova II, Omnisphere, Korg MS2000BR, and remixed on the Octatrack. The Analog 4 comes into its own in part 2!
