Ok so some ‘interesting’ news about the issue I am having with my MKII octa. After rebooting in to test mode to check fader functionality maybe 10 or so times…on about the 10th time the fader starts working (this alleviates the scenes killing audio issue, as it is fader related). So now, the octa seems to be working as expected. I can only assume this is somehow related to the software bugs many others are having with the entire scene/fader section.

After 10 minutes or so manipulating a sample in AED, the TRIM and SLICE go invisible. Reset fixes momentarily, then the invisible labels (TRIM & SLICE) return.
Switching tracks fixes the issue. At least for now.

If I open the Audio Editor with the AED button and accomplish any editing I need to do then hit AED to leave the Audio Editor screen it works as expected, it takes me to the main track window (SRC/AMP/LFO/FX1/FX2).
If I open the Audio Editor with the AED button and then enter PROJ, PART, MIX, ARR then return to the AED, hitting AED to leave that menu does not return me to the main track window, but instead returns me to whichever PROJ, PART, MIX, ARR window I was previously in.
This is only the case with the AED.

Question, is there a name for the new ‘shortcuts’ buttons to PROJ, PART, AED, MIX, ARR?

i can`t think of this as anything else than a mk2 bug…
if i try to clear my P-Locks (dim green, not trigless trigs, bright green) like described:
“In live record mode ([REC]+[Play]), press and hold [Func]+[No]. As the sequencer runs past trigs”
It just does not happen!
What i can do:
I can hold [NO] and press a encoder to delete the specific automation (but not all automation 
) … but in that case the P-Lock is still visible, just without any automation-values.
( by the way: even when the method to delete all automation… above works correctly… are p-locks still visible, but loose theirs value? or are any green p-locks disappearing? )
(to be honest, i did not jet checked if it happens in a other project as well… will check that out later…)
Since month of playing tonight was my first time - OTmk2 frozen screen.
So it really happens.
7xFlex and Master and no button and knobs response.
Oh, one button working: Power switch.
Maybe too much mess in my first and only testing/learning project, twisting and conditioning every detail, scene both ends.
I dont’t know. I play on a very basic level, 10 flex slots, few patterns, two parts. But turning everything to hear how it works. Stuck on LFO page.
I’ll try again. Just wanted to tell you.
ugh… I have feeling that it’s getting worse.
Today, even my reset midi workaround didn’t make it …
No response to my ticket from a week …
I’ve had similar experiences. The sample display when pressing AED is sometimes empty. Coming out and going back in gets it back again.
Little quirky behaviours like this occur rather regularly for me.
Doesn’t stop me getting things done but a bit distracting. Hopefully firmware update will solve much of this when it comes.

These scenes and fader problems are the same issue.
I’ve encountered it yesterday. I realized that the no audio is like a more intense version of crackling. It’s also straightly related to the speed of fader jumps. If you hear cracks on your sound you can try to mute scenes and they dissappear.
I think that in this case the scenes are changing so quickly that it causes cracks on sound or even no sound at all.
I also think that it is both hardware and software issue.
I mean hardware problem but maybe can be solved by software fix - like http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/debouncing . (I had Blofeld which had such problems with encoders going inverse sometimes and was fixed by fw update ).
Maybe it does not occur on OT MKI because it’s related to the super precision feature ?

There’s a “hardware bug” on MKII unfortunately. The bank letters are missing under trig buttons. More difficult to know which bank to select as well as which the active bank is.

How weird !
I hadn’t even noticed that !
Got word from Elektron that this is a known bug and has been fixed for the next OS update, coming soon.

“soon” is an everyday word here

Interesting. I hadn’t noticed that either. I actually like it without, though. Looks cleaner, less busy to my eyes, and I would just “label” the banks 1-16 in my mind.
So what is H bank trig, for ex ? Not easy.
Banks should be named with numbers in that case. 02-07 = bank 2, pattern 7.

I can’t account for the OTmk2 bank numbers missing, and my bank account is missing the numbers for the OTmk2.

C’est vrai, for sure. I guess I have not really relied on the screen feedback to identify which bank I’m on. Everyone’s mileage may vary on this as they say 
They actually said “this week”, so I am rather hopeful.

…after reading all this, i WON’T buy the mk2!!!
i was an early bird on the mk1 and it took so much time and uncomfortable feelings when it comes to live performance 'til i finally was able to make peace with it , wrap my mind around all this, work out workarounds and got sooooo sloooowly to the point to finally trust it for real…
won’t take this road again…spending another 1000 plus bucks on a buggy some day it’s gonna be pro for real, promise, machine one more time…
i really thought our swedish heros would have learned their lesson at least on the ot concept…but obviously they did’nt…
sorry elektron…but most of your custumers are pretty pro and not just some posh hobby guys…
won’t spent my lifetime and my money on beeing ur beta tester again and again…
