I am irritated by the design.
As a longterm octatrack user I like the the two rows of knobs corresponding to the six… values they alter.
As I am looking on the OT Display it is clear, that the count is always A is the upper left, F the lower right.
The frames around the parameters help as well to get orientation.
Now when it comes to the DT the display is too crowded with stuff…
I have to start looking from the right and look which one is the first parameter to be ´controlled.
For example the AMP page.
There is a Lev on the right side, but you have to controll it not with knob A but with the level knob on the left.
I tend to expect all controlls on the right of the display and in my imagination the knob F controls the DEL parameter, G the REV and so on.
Of course this is wrong, as E is for DEL and so on…
But in a reflex I choose the wrong knob…
Can’t help it, the OT design never led me to the wrong parameter…
I see no simple way to fix this, to be honest I see no way
But I need to whine about that a bit… It never came to my mind that I would have problems to adapt to a
hardware interface…
And as I am old and this is just some intrinsic fun I want to have I will not be as virtuoso as Cenk when it comes to knobs…
design flaw…
The retrig page is one of the worst as some of the four(!!) values are controlled by an arrow others by knobs but not starting at A but on D then E and F… who is making such design decisions…
