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

Hi Rusty i have a simple question but cant find the answer in the actual manual. How do you hear your sample with the trim start and adjusted ? Same thing with slice .

Thanks.

Short version:

At present you donā€™t Iā€™m afraidā€¦

Long version:

Iā€™m trying to come up with the cleanest / most elegent solution from a UI/UX viewpoint of handling what should get played whenā€¦

The idea being that it will play full by default, Start <-> End when you click on the start or end handles, and Loop <-> End when you click on the Loop handle, with an option to override all that and play the full loopā€¦

Its get a bit more complicated when I start dealing with all the possbile slice markers and so forthā€¦

tbhā€¦ I needed a mental break from the Samples module.

At the oment, I am concentrated on polishing off the new Seqeuncer / Arp Designer / LFO Designer and Library modulesā€¦ and then Iā€™ll swing back to the Samples and do some more work.

Okā€¦ been having consistent irregular problems with the forumā€¦

The host company tells me they believe it is a problem with softwares and suchā€¦

So Iā€™m going to be updating the forumā€¦ if it disappears for a whileā€¦ it means Iā€™m sorting it out.

Wish me luck

Any guess as to when the chainer module might make itā€™s reappearance?

Probably in the next build or two.

As an FYI, all the functionaliy and more will be integrated into the Samples module, as opposed to being a seperate standalone module.

couple of nights ago, I dreamt of having an Octatrack, oddly it was blue instead of black.
I did not understand the device at all, kind of like in the film ā€œWaking Lifeā€ where they explain that you can figure out if youā€™re dreaming when you canā€™t read clocks or other technical minutiae. Guess OctaEdit would have come handy :slight_smile:

Iā€™m working on it at the momentā€¦ but Iā€™ve had to rewrite it all from scratch for new bells and whistles, so will be a bit different, but should be betterā€¦ crosses fingers

Hi!
Is there any arrangement module available?
Can I have expectations about that?
Thanks.

Not at present.

But there is an Arranger module coming at some point, already done, needs spit and polish / testing etc.

Hey Rusty, does the current mac version allow for import of MIDI files to OT? What kind of format? Iā€™m hoping to import from Live, which exports ā€˜Standard MIDIā€™ files.

Also, this ā€˜Arrangement Moduleā€™ you are just speaking of - this would allow us to create in ā€˜Song Modeā€™?

Itā€™s doable, and I have a Proof of Concept done, but there is a lot of complexity, i.e. ā€œbusiness rulesā€ that need to be factored in.

Have a read of this thread, and you should get a feel for all the potential scenarios and complexity that it involves.

Yes.
