OctaEdit - Octatrack Software Editor and Librarian [ OSX / Windows ]

Couple of screenshots for those of you who don’t do Facebook…

First off you can set your own colour scheme as you see fit…


This is the Options module, controls various settings in OctaEdit



This is the Project module that controls all the settings of your current Project…


Or…


Looking good.

Hey Rusty, seems really cool in terms of the layout but will there be an option for the b/w color scheme in the final version vs. the blue on black? The eye is not very sensitive to blue so the latter is low contrast and squint-ier.

You can pick literally any colour combination you desire, the choice is yours.

The Options module below provides the ability to select the various colours used in OctaEdit. This can be changed at any point in time / on the fly. In the top left hand corner you can see the Back Color and Fore Color options, which control the main colour scheme utilised.


This image is from the Sequencer module using different combinations…



OctaEdit ships with a white on black colour scheme. After that, it is entirely up to each end user how it looks for them.

This is the Arp Designer module.


Features: Draw your arpeggio… as well as Presets, Inversion, Randomisation (various levels), Library… what more would you want?

The Arp Length knob controls whether or not the individual arp notes and pitch knobs are displayed based on the Arp Length setting…

Tweaking the arp length will show/hide the associated arp notes, arp pitch knobs, and the step highlights…

In the above picture, Arp Length is 16, therefore all arp notes and knobs are displayed, and all steps are highlighted.

In the below picture the Arp Length is set to 12, hence the arp notes and arp pitch knobs for steps 13, 14, 15 and 16 are not displayed. The steps for 13, 14, 15 and 16 are also not highlighted.


Thanks, good to know!

You’re more then welcome.

Key selection (OFF, Cmaj, Cmin and so on…)?

Yes.

The label under the Arp Length knob is the Arp Scale value… in that screenshot is OFF, but can be changed to C MAJ, CMIN etc.

This is great! I’m looking to buy another OT soon, so i’ll be all over this provided it isn’t expensive.

Depends on your definition of expensive :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

So how auspicious is May 8?

Very.

Techincal stuff however…

PM’d

The Manager module provides the ability to copy “data” from the Source Set/Project to the Target Set/Project

Data can be copied at either the Project, Bank, Pattern, Track, Part or Scene level, from any Project in any Set to any other Project in any other Set, including the ability to remap sample assignments on the fly.

Or put another way… no more mucking around with trying to get all your tracks together into a live set.

There is way too much functionality within the Manager module to give anymore then a brief overview… best to read the manual.

Shazam, the manager module. :kiss:

So if I understand this correctly, when doing a copy (of ie tracks) from any projects into another project. All sample settings and other tweaks for each track, will be copied and doesn´t (in theory) need any further management in the new project? So it would just be sort of load and play?

Can the copy procedure from a projects track be imposed on a new sample of choice in a new project? That is, ie, say that I have stumbled across some parameter tweaks (LFO´s, flex recorders/playback and stuff) that in combination affects an sample in an really cool way. But I doesn´t really have a clue of how I got there (happy accidents) and isn´t sure if I can get that behaviour again on a new sample in the new project.

@rusty, is the midi module going to be in 1.0 release?

I’m afraid to say no it won’t. Sorry. I wish it was as well if that makes you feel any better?

There is a massive amount of work / logic / testing in just that one module alone… as I’m sure you can appreciate.

I’d like a midi file importer, so it is high on my priority list.
