Hi Rusty, just wondering if being able to downgrade to an old os on my octatrack it would allow me to use the earlier version of your octaedit, in that case I would buy your software so I could use it until the new octaedit release.
Hope it make sense.
Thanks in advance and stay safe out there, peace✌🏻

What ppl usually use OctaEdit for? Or the most?

#2152

No, do not do that. Stay where you are / on OSv1.31.

v1 works with [ v1.25 | v1.30 | v1.31 ] already, just has some limitations around Trig Conditions.

v2 handles [ v1.25 | v1.30 | v1.31 ] simultaneously already; though there is a temptation to KISS and just support [ v1.30 | v1.31 ]

I primarily use it as a stress generator and to antagonise my partner. ymmv of course.

i use it to make a new project much quicker and more efficiently than I can on the OT itself.

adding new samples and putting them where I want them is a breeze in OE.

getting all my tracks/machines how I like them is also very very smooth.

Hope your making it through the mayhem ok- tough times.

Keep me posted on when V2 or even V1 becomes available. I’m ready to buy!

Some of my plans for Octaedit usage:

  • Adding custom LFOs to all parts (offsets, sine)
  • Designing custom bank templates
  • Reorganising banks quickly and efficiently; even across projects
  • Reorganising project audio pools without breaking all the references
  • Set-up custom scale arps
  • Standardising thru machines that use the same input (gain staging)
  • Getting a comprehensive overview of an entire project
  • Remixing patterns and projects
  • Altering trig conditions in a more efficient environment

Godspeed Rusty.

Something along those lines / can see light at the end of the tunnel.

All doable.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi @Rusty

Would it be possible to get a PM with a link to purchase OctaEdit? I’m aware you can’t currently support it and that’s fine by me. I’ve got the technical chops to troubleshoot issues should they arise.

Thanks and wishing you well.

Is there a manual I can read on it?

#2166

I was going to be the “do a search” guy, but since you’re trying to RTFM… :slight_smile:

See @mas_akala’s post above. It’s ~400 pages, so not sure you would want to waste your time reading all that.

The manual is out of date / being rewritten for v2; and I’ve added in a separate help floating help window; on top of the existing tooltip functionality.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Okay cool, I enjoy reading manuals, just to get the gist of it. :slight_smile:

Any questions, feel free to ping me a message.

I am dreading finishing off the v2 manual; as like the software, totally rewritten :expressionless:

Start a thread and let the supporting users write the manual; just issue a short txt file with a bare bones overview; even some mystical prose…
That’s a popular approach these days.
