Also how do I record a final track ?

it happens that this discussed in a parallel thread

How do you guys record the Octatrack?

I send output from my Octatrack to mixer recorder and record to an SD Card. Works perfect and super fast. Then edit in DAW. Or if I am using a DAW, send outs from Octatrack to my audio interface to record to a DAW. On my other Elektrons and my Virus, I like the Overbridge and Virus TI plugins a lot since they have tons of cool features.
