OctaEdit - Octatrack Software Editor and Librarian [ OSX / Windows ]

I solved it with setting lower resolution. Tested selective loading wit several Sets and Projects. Here it was 100 % stable.

Cheers and thx for the short-term answer!

Thanks for doing the actually hard work :slight_smile: One thing i just noticed - is it possible that Octatrack changed Volume levels of my tracks (of cause i know saving is disabled).
They changed to full level for all tracks. Before some tracks have been at zero because i used them as manually set Neighbours (source track (X) with zero Volume and neighbour (Y) with Record source Track X.

Do you prefer feedback here or as PM?

Cheers Bjƶrn
I also tried reloading the project but

No, shouldnā€™t have been any reason from an OctaEdit point of view why that would change; as not savingā€¦ maybe your project wasnā€™t saved? Or an OSv1.4 thing?

Probably an Octatrack OS PRoblem. I save quite frequently. but I really got a different state now. Volume levels and also some FX changed. might have been Filesystem errorā€¦ feels like an older version of that projectā€¦ but no issue - backup is in place.

A user just contacted me about not being able to open a set, thinking OctaEdit didnā€™t work.

If the [ Open Set ] button is disabled, it wonā€™t do anything, and would also mean that no license details entered.

In the below image [ Open Set ] is enabled and the [ Reload Project ] button is disabled.

If so, you need to:

Copy the OctaEdit.lic file to your desktop.
Launch OctaEdit and click on the OctaEdit logo.
The ā€˜Aboutā€™ form will be displayed. Click the ā€˜Cogā€™ button in the bottom right corner.
Enter the below details in the fields; then click the green tick.
Tip: You can copy and paste the information.

Doing a quick/dirty little bit of Market Research for those who use Facebook:

Update: OctaEdit v1.7.600 OSX Beta/Demo Version

  • OSX 10.9 and above only
  • Octatrack MkI & MkII
  • Octatrack OSv1.40 and above only
  • Saving functionality has been disabled

This is a heavily restricted demo, primarily testing:

  • New Set/Project loading
  • Project module functionality
  • Sequencer module
  • Arp Designer module
  • LFO Designer
  • Options module
  • Support module

Notes:

Reminder that OctaEdit only supports legal characters, so will not load Projects that include illegal characters.

  • OctaEdit v1 Options are not compatible with OctaEdit v2.
  • OctaEdit v1 Library Entries are not compatible with OctaEdit v2.
  • Iā€™ll be looking at writing a v1 > v2 convertor later.

OctaEdit:

Changed the core structure of the OctaEdit application files.

Chainer: Stores all the files and settings related to the Chainer module
Library: Stores all Library Entries / files used by the Library module
Licence: Stores your OctaEdit licence file
Options: Stores your OctaEdit settings file
Support: Stores all the Support Logs used by the Support module.

No change in the Windows version atm; and I havenā€™t done any stuff on Linux.

I thought maybe some folks tried on Wine withbetter success than me.

Just got my Octatrack and your editor looks perfect :slight_smile:

Should I wait until you release the v2 or is it a free upgrade from v1?

Iā€™d advise to wait until v2; in the middle of testing / OSv1.40 updating.

I will, with 100% certainty, buy this the moment it is ready. I might even crack and buy it before that.
