ok, Rusty just pointed me to the fact that there is a zoom setting given in octaedit.
…and since i just found my old, unused octaedit ( i gave the license to the guy who bought my OT1 back then) i just started it and made a sample chain on the fast.
ok, works for me now ! was user error then.
so i was panic for nothing in my post above.
sorry
With the caveat that I don’t like giving release dates… I’ll say this:
As with all software development, it is sometimes tough to accurately estimate the time required to finalize an application. I can only humbly ask you to bear with me a little longer while I get everything up and running to the high standards both you and I expect from OctaEdit.
OSX Public Beta
Couple of days as I do final sanity checks, tie up any loose ends etc. for public consumption. Could do it now, but I’m being fussy.
Windows Public Beta
Whenever OSX Public Beta is “near enough” that beta testers are happy, and I’m dealing with minor tweaks and edge cases.
This is just to save myself time from dual compiling / hunting down platform specific issues.
General Release ( OSX and Windows )
Whenever OSX and Window Beta users are happy. I can potentially see OSX General Release happening slightly before Windows General Release as should only be platform specific scenarios at that stage.
The Manager module provides the ability to copy Elements from a Source Set/Project to a Target Set/Project.
Elements can be copied at the Project, Bank, Pattern, Track, Part or Scene level, from any Project in any Set to any other Project in any other Set, and includes the ability to remap sample assignments on the fly.
Boasting a feature set that is way too long to list, with just a couple of clicks entire sets can be merged together seamlessly, meaning you never have to worry about the Octatrack structure ever again.
With OctaEdit you can basically copy/paste load/save anything*
I call them Elements
A Bank is an Element; a Part is an Element, a Step is an Element etc.
It’s even possible to copy one or more elements of a Step (e.g. Trig Type, Swing, Parameter Locks) to one or more Steps in the Sequencer.
OctaEdit has a custom hierarchy that is different to the Octatrack; so allows a lot of flexibility in what you copy/paste, or Save to the Library, or Load from the Library
***** For a list of what can be copied/pasted, loaded or saved, check the “The Library Module” section of the FAQ
I downloaded your little 400 pages manual. http://www.octaedit.com/Documentation/OctaEdit_Manual.pdf
Pictures, not only pages full of text !
Seems not very hard to read.
Is it still a main reference ?
I know it must be a lot of work but do you plan to update it just after V2 release ?
I’m getting to know the OT a bit better so I’m curious about this, once the Windows version is out. If it makes managing my samples easier (renaming them, keeping track of them, etc) I’d be worth for just that. Obviously, this does a heck of a lot more though…I’ll start RTFM tonight.
