Octatrack MKII (MK2/2nd Gen) specific bugs thread

I have the same issue !
Tried with XDIR too, it doesn’t works.

Im tried on T5 or T6 with Thru and Pickup machine, XLV doesn’t works. With flex machine on T1 to T4 it works.
I will try tonight with Thru and Pickup on T1 to T4 and a flex machine on T5…

I let you know !

I’ve got answer from Elektron support on these scene issues with XLV. It’s a known bug and will be fixed, eh, soon :smiley:

Thanks ! We hope soon… :slight_smile:
I will push a ticket too !

You shouldn’t except that you can add a scenario to this which hasn’t been described already. They’re aware of the bug and are going to fix it. Let them focus on other bugs and issues, there are a bunch of such things to fix and what else can come up which we haven’t met yet :slight_smile:

I had a prob where LFO 1 on a track didn’t modulate anything, no matter the target. When I setup LFO 2 with identical settings, everything worked…? Will try to reproduce this one before opening a ticket.

MKII os 1.30

Whats good folks. Is anyone able to save a normalized sample? I’ve tried to save a sample in a flex machine that I normalized by saving the sample settings and/or saving a copy of the sample, repeatedly. I then saved the project as a whole. Once the project is reloaded the sample reverts to an un-normalized state. All other settings are recalled properly slices, effects…

I’m sorry but are you all not pissed that you are effectively beta testers on a $1300 machine? The freezing bug surely was known before release unless they simply assembled it and shoved it out the door. Not to mention all the other bugs on a device that has existed for over 7 years (on the assumption that MK1 and MK2 are the exact same OS like they’ve said).

This just confirms to me that preordering and buying an Elektron product up to 6 months after release is the stupidest thing a working musician can do. Unfortunately, this is the new paradigm for manufacturers across the board and to quote the most powerful and yet most stupid person on the planet…it’s SAD!

I know I’m throwing shade here and I’m sure I’ll be told to flip off by many which is completely fine, but seriously, how many of you bought this device with the expectation to use it at a Gig over the next month? How many are just tinkerers with plenty of money to burn and happy to beta test?

Try “save and assign sample” from the audio editor attributes section. Assign to the same sample slot when it asks, It may say “assign to self” for that I can’t remember…

Its gotta be a bug. When I load the project I go to the sample editor and the sample is missing. The sample is labeled on the track. I double tap on the track button, the sample is there in the flex machine. Hit the sample edit button, there it is. I don’t know how I got it to stop reverting to being un-normalized. I tried to rename it and that didn’t work. I post if I find out anything more.

If you save the sample settings it won’t save the edits done in the editor, just slices and trim and some other stuff.
If you save a sample copy it won’t be loaded to the slot.
If you “save and assign sample” and then assign to its same slot, or “self”, then both the edits and the settings will be saved and the new normalized sample will be assigned to the slot…
If that doesn’t work it’s a bug…

From the manual, talking specifically about things done from the “edit” page:

“Save and assign sample” and assigning to the same slot is the saving method to keep using the modified sample in your project.

I did that as well. I saved and assigned the sample and saved the project. The sample did save. Thanks.

However, The second issue is when the project is reloaded from a cold start, I hit sample edit and it says the sample slot is empty even though I’ve saved the sample every possible way. The track is labeled with the sample. I double hit the track button then sample edit and the sample shows up.

Umm, do you have the right track selected first, the editor opens the sample of the current selected track. And by sample edit you mean the aed button?
It’s sometimes hard from text to determine exactly what is happening without tons of questions and back and forth, any chance you can post some screen shots or a short vid?

At this point I will call it a non-issue. I think its one of the quirks of the machine. Yeah when the project is loaded, its on track 3, hit the aed button it says empty slot on track 3. I hit the track buttons 1,2,3 and the samples all come up, almost like it just needed to refresh.

Thanks man

Sounds like maybe a minor bug that doesn’t get in the way, or it’s just the way it is, you have to select something after power up even something seems selected… I’d probably report it anyway…
Cheers…

Two wrongs don’t make a right @Francis. Cute left-handed abuse is just as unacceptable and just escalates things anyway. Please review the guidelines and re-word your post, please …

Edit: Now sorted, thanks !

If a trolly/whatever post winds you up, just ignore it, best way to take the power away :thup:

Anybody out there who is also having trouble entering LIVE RECORDING mode?

I can enter live recording mode but the record button doesn’t flash like it’s supposed to. Other than that it works fine for me. And I’m fairly sure I saw a post recently where elektron said this bug would be fixed in the next update
