I saw this mod 2 or 3 years ago. I contacted the guy (french) who made the mod, which was around 1000€.

Say what you like about him lads, but he’s got some lovely pepper shakers for sale.

He’s got a Mk2 up for $1,300 as well, so he must know. Anyone with $10,000 to spare on an Octatrack would more than likely be able to get it done for them.

So if I want dual ADAT instead, what’s that like $80,000?

I think the one who did the mod is actually not the one who sells the OT for this insane price, it was for sale years ago. Probaply just someone trying to cash in.

  • includes photos of item being blurry af

  • doesn’t know the difference between “there” and “their”

yep! lemme give this person lots of cash!

Can´t stop thinking about how someone in france jumps out of his window if this thing sells. Well, if it does I´ll probaply do it. Gotta get away from this planet asap :wink:

Does the ADAT output all 8 tracks separately?

#21

Theorically 8 mono outputs with ADAT, but if I remember correctly, the guy who made the mod told me it was possible with a stereo channel only (spdif).

I might pay that for a stomped on rusty “road worn” OT, as an art investment, obviously.

#23

Mildly viral advertising scheme by the modder?

I’ve heard about this. It’s etched in Elektron folklore. Only a handful of people are lucky enough to have seen this machine in person.

$10,000?

I’d pay $50,000. Easily.
