I assume that all your sample paths are valid / legal file names. If thats the case, then it sounds like a miscalculation when assignning the samples… I’ll have to look into that and get back to you asap.
PS: Sent you a pm.

i think the sample names are legit. Issue the paths are valid but I’m not sure how to check.

Check the new build I just released (v0.9.000) and see if that resolves your issues?
Note that I’ve completely redone the UI/UX, so best to check the manual (Section 9, pp231) for all the changes, and Section 24 (pp382) for some user stories.

With the release of v0.9.000, the main focus now is on bug fixing, code optimisation, and shiny stuff as I work towards the v1.0.000 release.
If you have any feature requests, nows a good time to ask…

Well, considering how much functionality was in v0.1… I figured it was about time to stop pretending it was an early version… cats were spoilt. 
Now just concentrating on ironing out any bugs, sorting out doco etc as we aim for that oh so perfect bug free v1.0.000 release

v1.0.000 Release - Thoughts? Comments?
Hi All,
With the release of v0.9.000, my focus now is being concentrated on bug hunting, and polishing everything up for a v1.0.000 release.
If you feel that there is anything missing, or stuff that you would really like, do let me know, and I’ll see where that fits into everything, if its already on its way, and/or if it will be in before v1.0.000
I think at some point I need to draw a line in the sand, as there is already a ridiculous amount of functionality in OctaEdit, concentrate on ensuring there are no bugs kicking around, and get OctaEdit out to the masses.
Thanks,
Rusty

why not live editing on computer with round-trip updates to and from the OT thru MIDI sysex? or maybe you could hack something together in assembly to make the OT function like a USB plugin?
heh
but seriously - great job
What SysEx?
The Octatrack doesn’t even have a full Midi specification, lacking a few critical items, but I digress.

Because even if you hacked together something like that, to make the USB function as being addressable, so you could use it as a plugin, you’re still not going to be able to access the CF card, as you can only have one master for it, computer or the Octatrack…
And who’s going to pay me for coding a new OS for the Octatrack?
Thanks, but not finished yet 
i was just joking around but your reply seems to indicate you have already looked into these kinds of ideas, and thats interesting
as far as who will pay for a new OS… who paid for OctaEdit? same deal I would guess… I didnt think such a thing as a new OS was even possible - but I guarantee you would have a lot of interested people just built-in from that, not to mention all the other OT owners with questions and complaints about “Why not this” and “Why not that” and so on… so I would suspect all of them are probably willing to pay a reasonable amount for a properly hot-rodded OS for the OT … kinda like how the MPC runs 100x better with JJOS

So bugger all people?
People can pay me up front for coding a new OS for the Octatrack, and Elektron can give me their source code for the existing OS, and a waiver against any legal action, otherwise I’m not releasing it publicly.
You know the JJOS cat(s) were ex Akai employees/contractors working for Akai on the MPC os?

hehe - jolly good, Dr. plague doctor
yeh but you seem pretty capable tho… and OctaEdit seems to indicate a reverse engineering of the existing OS to a certain (large) extent, which is a great start
anyways i wont presume to know the best way for you to spend your time
… would this affect my wage in any way?

i think that only by looking at OctaEdit’s manual one can get an idea of how much work and effort Rusty has put into this project…and that’s without considering what’s in the backstage, that’s where not too many people look at… 
keep up the good work Rusty and let those bunny rabbits run around happily …moonbeams will follow

Well, it won’t go up.
And it’s impossible to go down from zero.
So I’d quite confidently say the answer is “No”
…pheeew…that’s a relief; icecreeams!!
