I’ve rewritten OctaChainer, a free Win/Mac tool for creating sample chains for the Octatrack and other samplers. The important changes are “under the hood”, with a much better codebase that is easier to maintain. In addition to bugfixes and improved error handling, I’ve added some new features:
Import of existing Octatrack chains
Loading/saving wav files with embedded cue markers
It was long hours during my summer holidays. Kind of fun to “go all in” and fully focus on some geeky project once in a while. As always with these things it ends up being more work than anticipated, so glad it is done!
I’ve always felt a bit embarrased for the shabby state of v1. I made it “quick and dirty” just because I needed it myself right there and then. I didn’t realise it would be used that much. So even though most OT owners probably have mostly made the chains they want at this point, I just like the thought that the source code and the application itself is now made “properly”.
Could i request being able to highlight multiple samples and moving them through the group?
I want to get all my kicks to the top, snares hats etc. Like i appreciate the drag and drop a whole folder thing thats great.
