Changing the 'active' Track on an Octatrack from a MIDI controller

well, previous / next might be for 68/69

in either case I will point the Elektron manual guy to this part of the thread


my hunch is that the system is all as intended, but Up has to link to what a foot pedal user would see on the track lights (yes 5>4 looks wrong except using the idea of a book)

it’s semantics and by virtue of us even debating it it’s not quite right enough

prev/next works and is consistent with TRC usage


but people will possibly interpret previous as meaning last track selected !

Track Minus / Track Plus or Track < & Track > may be options
or just an explanation footnote on manual page for Up / Down meaning

PS @darenager : moved this again to an existing thread as it’s probably not a bug and more of a manual wording issue
