Only thing that micro-bothers me is a design weakness. That the distance between arrow left and NO button is to me too narrow. All other buttons are tidly grouped but the distance to the NO button is exactly the same as between the rest of the arrow buttons. In my world there would me a little more distance between no and arrow left to keep the button groups tidy. Am I too picky? Well I guess I can live with itā¦
It has a xmas light feel to the new colours doesnāt it? Joyful even? The amount of green light (from the LEDs) feels subliminally different from the old oneā¦
Ack, seems I forgot many things wrt operating an octa already! Back to the manuals (I only had a mk I for a relatively brienf amt of time in usage hours)
Iām very interested in comparisons from those of you who have a MKI. I had the new machine in my online basket a few times today, even inputted my credit card number on one occasion! Didnāt actually go through with it!
Also Iād say that the trig number leds are actually super useful! Way easier to cue up the next pattn reliably in the heat of the moment. This is one of those things that I originally thought wouldnāt matter much, but in fact I much prefer it now after having used it. Will be great to have this one on the analogs too no doubt.
IIRC this has already been discussed (?) but the MIDI implementation chart looks much more easy to grasp now doesnāt it? At least it looks like that to meā¦ I can even suss out how to automate scene manipulation and xfade remotely! Big improvement with the new manual IMO big up Erik AĢngman
OT MKII extra buttons make it so much easier to use . I am constantly using the AED button. This machine layout feels more logical and less intimidating than the MKI. I had been able to find my way around much easier than the limited time I spent with the MK1.
After a couple hours, I took the screen protective film off.
Itās a keeper.
