Like I’ve said previously, my two Octatracks currently reside a total of 8 metres from one another. (They rarely meet, as my mk2 is hardwired as the centre piece of my bigger setup.) The mk1 I got a year ago was probably the best 600 euros I’ve spent on gear.
Indeed man, I think I paid £675 for my MK1, and it had barely been out the box, obviously they just didn’t groove with it…
genius. Finally I can play 2 octaves with a really nice keyboard
I bet they’re having a good laugh raising our expections and reading through the comments here…
Jokes apart, I don’t think they’re teasing anything there, just celebrating the OT like they did for the Analogs.
Edit: I’d wait for January 2021 just to make sure, OT DPS-1 was released on January 2011.
Not kidding, the straw that broke the camel’s back for me with the OT was not being able to play more than two octaves chromatically. I know, there’s a million ways to do everything and get around it, but I found that really irritating.
The OT needs a reboot IMO, not a sequel. Could be an amazing AR2/A42-format box with some brain power applied to the UX and internal structure.
post COVID, elektron should run a summer school in Sweden for elektronauts to attend to design the Octatrack 2.
It might never actually get built, but it would be one hell of an enjoyable way to spend a few weeks imagineering and debating all the possibilities whilst nibbling knäckebröd and kanelbulle
any chance the OT could ever work with Overbridge? 4 channels of separated recording would be a dream.
If you put all the text from this post into a Text To Speech program and sample it into your Octatrack, slice it into 64, lay out 64 trigs, then randomize locks all the secrets will be revealed.

New case color incoming?
OT1, never.
It’s successor almost definitely. No reason to leave OB off of whatever comes next.
Not in its current form, no. It’s been ruled out.
Pllleeasssee just be an update that allows live recording of off-grid trigs, I beg of you!
If it was a MKIII with 32GB flash memory and Micro SD Card capability, as well as Class Compliant USB, oh I would be selling off whatever is needed to make that purchase a reality. And have four scenes/two crossfaders 
Edit: or Four Scenes and a joystick…
A thousand times YES to this. Then it would be my new Wavestation. (now I am wondering why I have never incorporated the AK joystick into my OT excursions 
)
I don’t understand this. How is this different than Live Record mode (Copy+Play)?
Definitely a 10 year anniversary thing. This is around the time when the Hector videos came out. My OT came in the mail Jan 2011.
I’m still unsure about keeping my OT mk2. Maybe I focused too much on finding good samples for it (lately I’ve been using Output Arcade, recorded stuff I liked and fed rather large wav files to the poor OT) which took so much time that getting to the creative process itself it became annoying.
Pondering whether I should trade up for an A4 or to stick with the OT and maybe, instead of trying to create complicated ambient samples, start feeding it the Moog Matriarch…
(And no, having two elektron boxes isn’t an option.)
Im still waiting for the Elder Scrolls 6 after 10 years. Why should Elektron be any different regarding anniversaries? 
OT VR edition
It seems that live record mode trigs are placed on the “0” of each trig, I.E., fully quantized to the limits of whatever the resolution x bpm is. I have to go in afterward and apply micro-timing to get the feel that I’m looking for in a lot of cases.
