Now this is some great news … 
Please keep us updated.
Drop us a quiet update in time, … to keep the OTmk2 resale value in a reasonable price range 
If you see me suddenly selling all my Octatracks… that’s your cue.

alright, thanks for the insight.
If you could suggest the workflow for this, I would appreciate it.
So basically, I would make multiple projects with the slots filled with tracks that I want and save those o for later dragging and managing via manager-module?
Downside is only that the user ends up with a lot of unused projects in his project list in a set.
Using the manager for this is no problem for me though.
I was thinking that the “playlists” or “slotlists” that I was hoping for would have been exactly something for the manager and archive-module.
I’d probably just use the a combination of the Samples and Audio Finder modules.
Create your “playlists” in a folder, or folders. So you could have a folder for “House”, folder for “Techno” etc.
Use the Samples Module and just Export required Samples and Settings from a Project into one of your “playlist” folders.
Then in the new/target Project, use the Audio Finder module and drag/drop into the Samples module and import to whichever slot you want.

I could write up some more detailed notes, or walk you through all that, maybe via messaging / IRC / something else; or on a Skype call if you wanted.
Fairly quick and straight forward though; the tricky part is just how you organise / maintain your music library / playlists on your Octatrack or hard drive (i.e. housekeeping / non OctaEdit stuff)

awesome, big thanks.
More details are always welcome. But I can see how far I get and then ask you when I get lost 
Yeah i’m waiting to ask questions once i have it installed and i get stumped.
So can you confirm there’s no behaviour differences between MKI and MKII except with button combinations related ones ?
I read just one behaviour difference related to this :
Technique: pickup mayhem
Trying to keep it tidy
Beta Testers
If you’ve put your hands up for Beta Testing, please head over to the OctaEdit forum and register there.
I am going to be centralising all beta testing / feedback / updates / enhancements over there.
As registration is manual / by my approval; if I can’t easily identify your user name, I might ignore/delete it, so let me know via pm as well.
Thanks

Totally support this one (except the babies part, of course).
Any news on that?
Unfortunately due to a family medical emergency, I will be offline for a little while.
Beta Testing is therefore on hold until I am back online.
Apologies for any delays or inconveniences.

I’m slowly getting back online / minimal access. Will attempt to push beta release out this week to all those who have signed up.
Obviously got a lot of emails etc to wade through, have an emergency dev environment to configure, get my head back in the zone first and so forth.
More news soon…

Yes, Rusty, be sure to take good care of you and yours first.
The ones and zeroes will still be fresh when you’re good and ready for ‘em.

Important Beta Release / Testing
Note: This is very much a Beta. Do NOT use it with anything you value, as there will be bugs.
Decided to go with open/public Beta due to my limited availability; so OSX Beta now available to any existing OSX (OSX 10.9 to OSX 10.13) users who want to grab it.
Please head over to the OctaEdit Forums and register there, so I can centralise all beta testing and updates and make my life easier.
Beta Testing will be an iterative process as per below. The Beta has a lot of restricted functionality, and I have locked a lot of the modules, to fit in with the testing/release process.
This is to ensure I’m not stretched too thin, or trying to test/fix too many items at once.
You are welcome to play around with modules and functions that are not part of the current testing stage; however bear in mind that you are more likely to encounter bugs; I am more likely to be making some slight tweaks to the code already, and/or will not prioritise any issues reported.
- Stage 01: Main | Project | Options | Support | Analytics | Library
- Stage 02: Samples | Chainer | Audio Finder | Analytics
- Stage 03: Sequencer | Arp Designer | LFO Designer | Analytics | Library
- Stage 04: Manager | Analytics
- Stage 05: Arranger
- Stage 06: Odds and Ends
Thanks,
Rusty
