Octatrack MKII Anniversary Edition

[destructure]

@friedcircuit

Would probably buy this just to check out the Artists’ contents in the CF card. Another reason to buy the Octatrack again for the 3rd time!!

The Tilliander contributions especially

That would be cool if they sold it as a Sound Pack!

[HoldMyBeer]

I hope the new content on the Anniversary CF is card is just the listed artists doing a live improv comedy show.

Nice, but I will wait for the 100th anniversary diamond time travel edition…

balanced input of mk2，must have if you combo octa with a4 ar

[Unifono]

why?

[Choice_Studio]

more headroom，because a4 ar’s output is hot，when mk1 octa came out 10 years ago，there were only mm md out there，those were unbalanced out machine

[Unifono]

ok, I have an A4 and OT, and never had any problems.
Not saying you are not right

Tomorrow is the “new type of show” in YouTube, what would that be? Any speculation? Doesn’t sound like firmware… when firmware?

[Rusty]

@lucianon

when firmware?

Tuesday

[Choice_Studio]

must have is a little personal，sorry！ if you work done with mk1，nothing no good！

It’s been awhile, but I’m having flashbacks of when I joined elektron-users!

Back then I had just purchased the 10th Anniversary MD.

All of the above happened back then!

I just bought this one to add to it and my MnM.

The Octatrack has been on my radar for a long time.

Looking forward to growing and expanding some friendships as I dive deep.

Any idea what time the YouTube thing is?

[johnathon_doe]

18:00 CET

So that would depend on where you live.

I paid around 1300 CHF in early 2011. The machine returned the investment and is still working. All good.

[mattleaf]

Like 3:30am where I am lol

[shroom]

Just when I thought I was out...they pull me back in.

Fuck factory content give me that black beast!

“pich” means “diamond” in khmer language

100% this. I feel like getting into something like the OT and then complaining it’s ‘outdated’ is missing the point — a lot of people with these types of gripes should just get Ableton and be done with it.

There’s truth to this but the flip side is equally as valid. The UI//screen is outdated. Getting around the thing is awkward. The world has moved on in 10 years to the extent that anything relying on a screen as much as the OT does is not going to fare well. It’s not unfair or being obtuse to criticise the OT on these points.

But it is what it is - a crazy box of fun. I just can’t believe they’re still able to charge £1,200 for it!!!

Not sure if I’ll return to an OT one day. Probably not now. But if an OT2/flagship sized new sampler appeared I’d likely be all over it.
