Copy a Bank from one Project to another

Hello all,

I’d like to Copy a Bank from one Project to another… Is this possible?

I looked through the manual and forum and couldn’t find a definitive answer.

Someone said just copy the Part from one bank and paste it in an empty bank but I couldn’t get that to work. Maybe I read it wrong?

Please give me your insight!

Hi, Yes is possible… you need to check the File Manager…

The answer is in pages 34 and 35 of the manual:


Hope it helps!!

“hence you might need…” lol

Awesome! Thats what I’ve been looking for :slight_smile:

Bank 9 in Project 1

has been moved to:

Bank 9 in Project 2

-NOW-

Is it possible to move a Bank do a separate Bank within the same Project?

For example if I wanted Bank 9 to be Bank 5.

Not the end of the world if I can’t but it would help my flow if it were possible…

Thank You Rusty!!

Is this software editor still available?

Arrgghhh…Looks like he took the software offline while developing OE2 Beta

Currently unavailable to purchase whilst I’m polishing off v2; and due to other personal reasons / stuff and things; everything got delayed a little bit.

Is the LE version available? I have recently purchased an Octatrack and I would like to try this software out somehow.

No, I’m afraid not.

I’m busy working on stuff and things; should have more news soon(ish)

If you’re twitchy about using file manager and losing work (like me!), you can also copy the part and each track over to a new project (via project>change), then re-assign the samples as mentioned above, effectively copying a bank. Bit more laborious but works.

I have been a heavy OT user for years now and JUST realized that you can do this! No, you cannot copy full banks across projects but you can copy Patters and Parts which = banks - samples. But if you want to do this by “hand” this is an easy way to accomplish this. Does take a little more time but copies seamlessly. Literally all of my problems can be solved by just doing the easiest thing possible!

Sorry for the late reply and pulling up the necro… :grimacing:

That means if I leave all my samples in place in audio-folder (every track has it´s own subfolder)
I can start a new project and simply drag my banks around?

I am asking because I have a lot of tracks set up in the last few weaks .
When my bandmates change the setlist for a gig, I can sort them to be in a row?

Thank you all for supporting Octatrack newbies. :blush:

I would use the arranger and chain the different arrangements according the wanted order.

All of this is a bit cumbersome, it was thought and made by engineers not real life musicians who have to go on stage.

Yes, of course. Banks are Songs in my setup.
I have only 8 pers set because I need to send PC messages to let my DT play along.
DT has only 8 banks.

There is quite a bit of organisation necessery.

But to be honest, I don´t understand what you are trying to say.
Is this a recommendation? :thinking:

This as well. How on earth do they pull out incompatible products at this level? Me don’t get it.

Did you read the post?
