Hello Rusty,

of cause “to do testing” i could also support :slight_smile: i can still switch between Versions. Is it possible to install two Version in parallel?

Always been there, it’s the raison d’être of the Manager module.

If you want to copy/paste between different Sets/Projects; we use the Manager module; as it features the ability to re-map Sample assignments on the fly.

Banks can also be copied / pasted / saved to library / loaded from the Library module in the Sequencer module; but you don’t get all the sample mapping functionality there.

This is more for working in the same Project; or using templates when working in in the Sequencer module.

Not really install per se, but you can have two versions on the same machine; have to be careful with the options, settings etc, as I’ve changed all that around over time. Probably best to wait till I push out the next beta; which I’m working through a tricky chunk of code for at the moment.

Octatrack OSv1.40

Just like everyone else, I am very excited by the new Octatrack OS release.

And just like everyone else, I have only just got my hands on it.

A new OS release naturally means I need to add the new functionality into OctaEdit.

And of course I will need to do a whole round of testing and checking of the OS personally.

OctaEdit is not currently compatible with Octatrack OSv1.40

I literally just got it the same time as everyone else and have only just put it on my Octatrack.

Remember; I don’t work for Elektron. I have no special communications or anything with them. I am not part of any early testing group. I am just another Octatrack user like you, and like you, I have just got OSv1.40 via the release email.

I will provide more information in due course.

One of my first thoughts upon hearing about the new OS was “Damn, guess that’ll push OctaEdit back a bit

Update: OctaEdit v1.7.500 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 the new loading / Project module functionality.

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

Notes:

  • OctaEdit v1 Options are not compatible with OctaEdit v2.
  • OctaEdit v1 Library Entries are not compatible with OctaEdit v2.
  • I’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.

Selective Loading

OctaEdit v1.7.500 introduces Selective Loading which can be enabled via Options.

Selective Loading allows the ability to select which projects will be loaded from a Set, this can be one, many or all. When disabled, all Projects are loaded. This can be handy when you are working on Sets with lots of Projects.

When enabled, OctaEdit will pre-verify the avaialble projects and display the [ Set Load ] form.

Simply select the Projects you want to load (e.g. House | Trance ) then click [ OK ]

OctaEdit Compatibility

Beta versions fall under v2 column (e.g. v1.7.500 Beta)

Been asked this a couple of times now, hopefully this clears up any confusion.
