OctaEdit for Octatrack MkII / OSv1.25I
Will OctaEdit work with the Octatrack MkII ?
I donāt know yetā¦ but I would assume so; and I will do my best to ensure that OctaEdit will be compatible with the MkIIās / New OS.
Looking at the new buttons; I would expect a new OS release; OSv1.25I; to handle the shortcuts that the keys will enable. Apart from that Iām just working on the basis of comments Iāve seen on Elektronauts (e.g. ācosmetic change onlyā and ābackward comaptibleā)
A new OS release naturally that means I will need to do a whole round of testing and checking. There will be a delay in the support for any new OS post release whilst I throughly perform my own round of checking and UAT; refer OSv1.25F and OSv1.25G if youāre wondering why the lag.
Until I get my hands on the MkII / OSv1.25I; I know as much or as little as anyone else.
Remember, I donāt work for Elektron; and have no special communications or anything with them. Iām just another Octatrack userā¦

Please note that OctaEdit will be unavailable to purchase for a couple of weeks; as I concentrate on polishing off the next big update.

Spotted this on OT FB group ā¦ would be perhaps a nice feature of Sequencer Module ā¦?

You mean the hidden calculator functionality that in the Actions group of the Sequencer module? 
Hey Octaeditler,
is there any independent review (youtube, blog) about the Octaedit Software?
Tried to find something: no success yet.
Thanks for helping

What do you want to know?
Iām sure this is way to late in your release schedule, but one thing that has held me back from using OctaEdit is the UI, not sure what the next release has in store of course. In saying that, my day job is UI design and prototyping, and Iām more than happy to donate some spare time, (in my own selfish interest 
) if you are interested in any of that.

Wow. I just signed up after getting a MKII. The first question on my mind was how to build an external editor. Sent it to Elektron this morning without realising the history here. Nice going Rusty. Iām interested in beta testing - MK II / OSX - no offence taken if its too late. Just really want to be able to break free of the OT UI at times.

For the curiousā¦
Iām deep in the middle of a giant update, with a full code review and testing cycle. At the same time, Iām being slammed with corporate work; and well, there is only so many hours in the dayā¦ So really busy right now, with a lot going on, hence the unavailable for a little while.
Hopefully should be back with the shiny new update / ready for the new OS / conditional trigs soonā¦

Looking forward to it - better to get it right than get it fast - whenever it is is good with me :
Can someone please explain to me how I activate the OctaEdit software?! I installed and everything, I have the āLicā file, dont know how to activate.
thanks
I didnāt think you āactivatedā anything from memory. Once Rusty has you on the mailing list you just download and install the latest version and youāre good to go. Maybe something has changed recently. In any case, @Rusty can help.
Your license file came with instructions in a file called OctaEdit.txt
All I know is everything has a dark green (background) and red (lettering) like screen over it. Ill try and find that Text file. But none of you know the simple answer? Like do i drop the Lic file onto a certain area? it looks like a Terminal file, do I just open it in terminal? If you know please just replyā¦ no biggy
For the more recent versions, you should have received an email from the developer that contained the following instructions:
This email should have two attachments:
OctaEdit.lic : This is the licence file, copy this to your desktop.
OctaEdit.txt : This is your licence information in a plain text file, so you can copy/paste details easily.
Licence Instructions:
Note: You only need this for v1.1.300 and above.
Copy the OctaEdit.lic file to your desktop.
Launch OctaEdit and click on the OctaEdit logo.
The About form will be displayed. Click the āCogā button in the bottom right corner.
Enter the below details in the fields; then click the green tick.

Figured it out.
I had to install the 1.1.4 Beta. The Beta confused me I guess when I first installed awhile back. thanks again.
