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

hey hey guys(girls?)
Someone have the latest or a link to the latest OE v1.5.7 manual? It’s not present in the install package i downloaded. Obviously its obsolete but maybe I can find some infos about the samples section I struggling with…
Or maybe someone can help : i block the tempo to give priority to it, everythings okay in OE trim etc. But in the OT the trim reacting weird, theres only 1/2s selected so the end point isn’t set well, so i have to manually select entiere sample manually on the OT…
My aim is to fill with load of samples in Flex/Static slots in the audio pool, its a great feature here in OE i can use but i properly can’t for now…
I’m on FW 1.31 >> OT MKII
Thanks in advance

There is no released OE v1.5.7 manual; as I have never released it (Still a WIP) so have to rely on Tooltips / old manual I’m afraid.

@Rusty When do you anticipating releasing V2?

When it is finished. Or in the immortal words of Bros “I can’t answer that”.

Sorry. That is about all I can say right now.

I know you want Octaedit to be perfect but it’s already crazy dude.
I am waiting so bad for any version.
I regret to didn’t get it when it was still possible to get it a few years ago.
If you made it available again even for 1 day I will rush it.
I don’t care about any new update or even customer service…
Just want to use your tool again,it’s so powerfull!

I appreciate the sentiment. It is all a little bit more complicated then that.

I am dealing with some personal issues at the moment that are affecting my mental and physical health.

I think given the atrocious state of the world at the moment, it would be churlish of me to complain, given so many are worse off then me.

Rest assured that I am working on OctaEdit v2 as and when I can.

when life hits me hard, I remember that we are just a Soul in this temporary body experiencing this life before moving on to something new.
I hope you will get your inner power back soon Rusty, not for Octaedit but for you, so you feel your power again :alien:

Meditation saved my life - I highly recommend this for 20mins a day. Cuts through any problem if you keep disciplined with it. Here’s to healing by going inwards. Respect mate and keep up the good work. :yellow_heart:

It’s super hard for me to feel comfortable doing so, is there a decent introduction? There are guided meditation apps but someone’s voice keeps me from actually clearing my head.

Edit: Sorry Rusty, should’ve kept it to private messaging :slight_smile:

Meditation is a wonderful thing, but it often takes a while to settle into a practice. It’s a bit like saying, “Oh, just go for a run” (also a wonderful thing, the running). In the meantime, I can recommend putting on some Alan Watts and cleaning the kitchen.

Keep going Rusty. You’re a prince amongst men.

Great encouragement, folks, but let’s try to get things back on topic. :thup:

I don’t know if meditation is part of the topic but Rusty definitely is…
I am so sad to hear that.
Of course no dude! You got the right to complain.
Time are shitty but no matter what every life is precious, your life is precious and you deserve to be happy and healthy.
And being aware that your case is not the worse just show the fact that you care about other people and global situation.
Everyone as the right to complain when it’s about serious thing.
Hope you find some support around you, and that thing will be better for you in the future you truly deserve it.
Take care

I’m not even sure what OctaEdit is, exactly (I just got an mki recently, mind bending but great fun), but regardless - @Rusty, be good to and take care of yourself, do whatever best helps you navigate this and whatever other shitstorms 2020 throws at us all, and best of luck in whatever is playing out.

I’ll try to do the same.

Just trying to quiet my mind contemplating the words and lectures of Alan Watts has probably been the most beneficial thing to my mental health in the past year. Most of the time that recommendation goes over pretty poorly with folks unless they’ve already found themselves there/somewhere similar, but I swear, a year or 2 year into exploring his and the similar/related teachings of others, it never ceases to quiet at least some of the incessant noise. For those who haven’t listened, next time you’re going out of your fucking mind unable to sleep or fighting a panic or just want to burn it all down, just YouTube Alan Watts on your phone and play the first lecture that comes up. It’s a strange thing to say, but I don’t know where I’d be today if not for saying fucking it a handful of times and typing this very type of suggestion into a search bar. Somewhere worse, that’s for sure.

When does your Octatrack book come out Rusty? Would love to get a copy along with the editing software :wink:

Maybe never. I doubt it [ Octatrack Bible ] is worth the time and energy required to finish writing it all, preparing all the tutorial projects, videos etc.

Hello All! Where ca i get octaedit? no purchase possible on that side

You can’t purchase octaedit right now. The creator, Rusty, is busy dealing with being alive in 2020, and doesn’t have the time to help onboard new users or provide support for v1 at the moment. The latest release of v1 is now out of date with the current octatrack os. Rusty is still working on v2 when they can and will notify people in this thread when it is available. Your options are to hang tight, or try and find someone willing to sell you their v1 license.

I missed a license going recently and I am very much bummed out about that, but I think the best thing you can do right now is work out how to do what you want without it (most(?) things in octaedit are doable with OT and a computer, although some things will take you muchhh longer), and keep an eye on this thread for further updates from Rusty.
