Agree. Pitch shifting and reverb, but also other effect could need a serious overhaul for 2018. my hope is that they will do and also make a update for the old octa

The mki and mkii will share the same OS, so any update to mkii will also be for mki
I think thats largely to do with the type of extreme mangling the OT encourages rather than the box itself imparting character. when you stretch a sample out twice its original length, pitch it and chop it up and resequence it in x0x format it will always give the sound a glitchy lofi character, also tied to the fact that even though there are tons of mod destinations for the LFOs they are the same, all the time and therefore youre likely to come across similar sounds with different samples. As a sampler it can be just about as transparent or lofi and characterful as you want it to be. I might not have the magic golden ears that a lot of people online seem to have but I honestly think the OT sounds like whatever you put in it

Just wondering if anyone has heard a ship date from a retailer. I know sweetwater has been saying the A4 and AR MK2 aren’t coming until January, just wondering if there are any reports of the OT MK2 being delayed?
I checked in with my rep from sweetwater he said the 11th but now that’s been pushed to the 22nd but still not solid

I wonder what’s happening at Elektron. No-one from Elektron has posted here at Elektronauts for over a month and there has been no information about the delays. Are they still in business?

Got a mail from my retailer: New date for Octatrack mk2 will be 30.9. And elektron changed release date from “mid September” to just “september”. And like always no comment or anything from elektron…

Honestly, I think they don’t know. I can imagine they’re juggling resources by the day while sectretely regretting ever creating Overbridge, so the unknown unknowns are just too many to say something that we won’t overinterpret and tear into pieces.

It’s a bit nuts isn’t it. I’d have at least expected a few vids/reviews/demos falling in ramp to full release. But nothing.

So true!
Yeah no promo at all. I would love to see Dataline showing off the new OT! But for someone like me who preordered the ot mk2 and don’t have a mk1, it’s extreme frustrating to not have a clear release date. (I need the ot for sequencing my external gear, without Sequenzer i am not able to make music! ) . But if elektron would secretly add some updates on the os i would be blown away!

Are there any clear specs for the mk2 or just elektronaut assumptions? Sorry, long thread
Hyponothesis’s - educated guesses based on no facts
For a brand new product you get the enigma of a blurred swirling buzzing videos. That wouldn’t work for a Mark II would it, especially since there are clear photos from three angles, and announced released dates. Fun to watch and ponder what is happening behind the curtain. It will be fun to see how they actually do the “we’re shipping” announcement.

It would be nice to get one of the MKII’s I’ve ordered out of the 3 so I can get going. I know some of you read manuals ahead of time, I can not do that. I need the device in front of me. I’ve watched the Cuckoo videos, the guy is cool and all but I find his methodology a bit slow for me.

Buying three! Way cool. For three they ought to send you a loaner MkI !!!
OK the loaner has a dent in the fender, but it will get you from point A to point B.
I never get a break man, never won anything, and have never got anything for free. But it would be cool if they sent me a hat at least FFS
