imagine whatâs going to happen when youâll put your hands on it 
OS X would be fantastic!
Having only just got my OT and already finding myself thinking, âdang, would be nice if I could copy or move this, especially when I start making a full live setâŚâ, itâs great to know youâre on it Rusty, looking forward to checking it out when youâre ready.
And if by chance Elektron are keeping an eye on these threads, I hope they donât let Rustyâs hard work make them think that some of these things donât need to be addressed in a OS update once the OctaEdit software is out. By all accounts this OctaEdit software is gonna be great, but I think most people would still rather do as much as possible on OT without need to be chained to a computer for common functions⌠Users seem to be resigned that there wonât be another update but there are at least a dozen pretty simple little tweaks/additions to OS that would make a huge improvement to work flow. Hopefully Elektron arenât planning to desert OT users prematurelyâŚ
Donât hold your breath on a native OSX version at the momentâŚ
The good news though is that there is a lot of people who nabbed early access licences who are very happily running OctaEdit on OSX/Wine with no issues at all.
There are detailed installation instructions available here OctaEdit OSX Install Instructions and the whole installation can be done quickly and painlessly.
So⌠whilst everyone is being distracted with Overbridge / Rytm⌠Iâll slip this one through quietly underneath the radar. 
The Sequencer module.
I wonât even begin to try and list everything this module does⌠but if you have a question about whether it can do something, the answer is âYesâ
Fully integrated with every other module in OctaEdit, this is the nexus.
Itâs all working very well at present, reading and writing data back and forth with the Octatrack; however, there is a massive amount of data/items that I need to check⌠like every single possible permutation on the Octatrack, and then all the available functionality within OctaEdit.
I believe I have covered everything, or if not, at least 98% plus.
Once I am comfortable with all the tests and checks, then OctaEdit will be available.
Oh thats realy great!!
I am wondering to what extent this integrates into the octo in real time?
I guess this question concerns the Arp /LFO designer and the sequencer module.
Lets say when you create a ARP in the module, can you audition your changes in real time? Or do you have to edit, then save to flash, then audit?
Same goes for the LFO and sequencer module.
Thanks
drool.
Non real time Iâm afraid. The Octatrack doesnât even have a basic midi implementation, never mind full blown SysEx that can be leveraged off. And at any point in time the compact flash card is in use by either the Octatrack or OctaEdit.
As above, sorry. My hands are tied in that regard unless I fix the OS⌠and then there is other stuff I would fix first.
The Arp Designer and LFO Designer modules are seperate from the Sequencer module, so are âstandaloneâ as it were.
They both have Read / Write functions that integrate with the Sequencer module, or of course you can simply drag/drop each way if that pleases you.
Likewise, the Library module integrates with the Arp Designer, LFO Designer and Sequencer modules⌠simply drag/drop between anything to store or load anything into/from the Library.
And thats why I have 1,000âs of things to check, and double check

Wait till you see what she can do 
Great job by the looks of things Rusty. Hoping this isnât going to be too expensive and I can grab it on release.
Shame none of it is realtime but I can understand youâre working within the limitations of the hardware/os. I canât really see so much point (this could easily change when I get my hands on it!) in all the modules if it isnât real time,⌠think Iâd rather use the small screen/menu dive on OT and have things like patterns/lfos/effects/arpeggio etc respond whilst Iâm programming. But I think this will be very useful for organising files and moving stuff around.
Donât suppose you could add some new effects too

looking forward to checking it out. Last night I spent an hour just making a dark synth weird modulated sound from a single cycle waveform with effects, to play in chromatic mode. Made me think how good it would be if you could kind of save tracks like they were user presets on a synth, to use again in other projects, guessing your software makes this kind of stuff a lot easier

Exactly⌠See? Now what are you going to do with that? You could store it in the Library⌠and then use that again a year laterâŚ
The Library is basically a âpreset managerâ that you can save an âEntryâ to; being anything from anywhere⌠and these entries can then be used anywhere.

Sounds great If only Elektron was as motivated as you! That would be an awesome feature to have internally, so you could audition âpresetsâ in real time etc.
Canât wait to try the software. Hope itâs all going well there and not too much stress behind the scenes.
all looks amazing, canât wait to try it out⌠nice one Rust
In Rust, we trust!

In all seriousness, when I saw you mentioning you have an editor in the works, I never thought itâd be something this cool. I hope people flock to the editor and paypal the crap out of you. I know I will!
All you have to do now is implement the sampling portion and youâll have a software version of the OT.
Plus moreâŚ
Raise a feature request, you know the drill.
PS: Jamrodâs got a Linnstrument⌠so, so tempting⌠drool⌠all your fault of course
Sorry if this has already been coveredâŚ
Will it be possible to share library entries with other users? Iâm imagining a downloadable package that contains the machine information along with any used samples.
I think that would be pretty cool. Users could grow a Reaktor style pool of shared machines.
Hell, you could take it to the next level and let us monetize instruments and then take a cut yourself! Use bitcoins⌠bitcoin prices explode⌠and next thing you know youâre rich with a linnstrument for every room in your mansion!
