Presumably itās internal sample tracks and midi ?
Iād be able to load them into ableton and fully playback the octatrack stuff ?
I really should buy it ā¦
Sorry, I donāt understand the question.
It exports the normal pattern data for triggering flex , static samples , slice parameter locks etc. ?
And
It exports the patterns used on midi , to trigger external gear , parameter lock cc,pb,af etc.?
With a bit of tweaking , I could then replay the pattern data within ableton / daw - used to trigger the octatrack as if it was playing from the internal sequencer , and reuse the āmidiā tracks to play via Mac/midi interface / direct to nord , Korg , Borg , dawg , frawg, other things that might sound like āawgā

That was not obvious. Unique feature, not doable with OT only, as it doesnāt send notes / CC from its audio tracks sequences. 
(Midi tracks can be recorded externally)
Minilawg?
More will come though I might keep them to myself or risk being banned for life , get me dawg ? Ya know what iām Sayin.
Is anything I say / write? 
Shall we add it on the list of all the other unique features that are not doable on the OTā¦ ? 
Or click a couple of buttons, and export midi tracks, and all their parameter locks.

Did I mention that you can export the entire Project to Midi?
All eight audio and all eight midi tracks, across all sixteen patterns, across all 16 banks.
What am I doing with my life?

Update: OctaEdit v1.1.945 Beta OSX and Windows now available.
Whatās new? Lots.
-
OctaEdit supports Octatrack MkI / MkII and OS versions v1.25E, v1.25H and v1.30C concurrently. (OctaEdit dynamically reacts to, and supports both MkI, MkII and all the above OSās on the fly. Even if different projects within the same set.)
-
Added Help popup functionality. Available in all modules. Dynamic based on currently selected module and sub-module.
-
Done a whole bunch of work in the Sequencer moduleā¦ Updated GUI, Library drag/drop integration; updated LFO Designer; updated Arp designer; Arp Added Flex/Static Copy/Swap functions; FX1/FX2 Copy/Swap functions. Midi Exportā¦
Actually way too much stuff to list really 
-
Done a whole bunch of work in the Library Module; added drag/drop functionality form Library to Target; i.e drag/drop a āProject Mixerā Library Entry to the āMixerā group in the Project module to load it. (Or be traditional and use the menu)
-
Updated the Arp Designer Module
-
Updated the LFO Designer Module
-
Updated the Options Module

Midi Export
The Midi Export function allows the ability to export Audio and Midi Tracks from OctaEdit to Standard Midi Files (SMF)
Midi files can optionally include Trigs, MicroTiming and all, any or no Parameter Locks.
To Export Midi via the Sequencer module:
-
Click the Actions button in the Actions group.
-
Select Track in the Element dropdown in the Element group.
-
Select Midi Export in the Options group.
-
In the Midi Export Options group, define which of Trigs, MicroTiming and Parameter Locks are to be exported.
-
In the Target group, define which Tracks are to be exported via Bank, Pattern and Track buttons. (Refer below)
-
Click the Execute button in the Options group
The name, and path, of the Midi Files are programmatically generated as per the below logic:
\[Set Name][Project Name]\OEMidi[Project Name] Bank nn Pattern nn Track nn.mid
Where [Set Name] equals the name of the Octatrack Set and [Project Name] equals the name of the Octatrack Project.
Understanding the Export Matrix:
The Export Matrix allows a lot of flexibility for defining the tracks to export. For example, in the below screenshot Bank 01; Patterns 01 and 05; and Tracks 01 and 09 are selected.
When the Midi Export is Executed, the following tracks will be exported:
Bank 01 Pattern 01 Track 01
Bank 01 Pattern 01 Track 09
Bank 01 Pattern 05 Track 01
Bank 01 Pattern 05 Track 09
And Midi Control Change messages will be generated for:
Playback Parameter [ A ] and [ B ] / Note Note [ A ] and Note Velocity [ B ]
Amp Balance [ E ] / Arp Range [ E ]
LFO 1 Speed [ A ]
LFO 2 Depth [ E ]
FX 1 [ A ] and [ B ] / Control 1 Pitchbend [ A ] and Aftertouch [ B ]
FX 2 Parameter [ D ] / Control 2 Parameter [ D ]
There is a bunch of logic in there about which Midi Control Change messages get generated; but I canāt be bothered typing it all out there.

When I was younger, so much younger than todayā¦
Added a Help function. Help is displayed in a floating window which can be moved around freely; and has a range of Help Topics divided by Module.
Click the Topic button to display a list of Help Topics. Each Help Topic has n number of steps; e.g. this one has 8 steps which can be navigated with the Return to Start; Back and Forward buttons. And a Close button obviously.
Important things are displayed in Bold Text and Components highlighted in Red Text
Help is accessible via the ? button on the Toolbar
Help is dynamic based on the Module and Sub-Module currently accessed; and has a range of topics with more to come. For example, this screenshot I have the Options and Analytics Modules open; hence those two are available; whilst the others are greyed out.
Red Text is used to highlight components in OctaEdit; which are also highlighted in the application.

Dear OctaEditors and Elektronauts,
For those of you who have been patiently waiting for OctaEdit v2 and/or have been curious about when it is being released.
Whilst I much prefer to keep my personal life private, and thus off the interwebs; for the last few months I have been living overseas providing palliative care to my mother who was diagnosed with Cancer.
Unfortunately she has just passed away.
Obviously this period of time has been very intensely draining; emotionally, spiritually and physically.
Iām still grappling with a whole range of emotions. Iāve got a lot on my mind. And an awful lot to think about. Both my life now, and what I intend to do in the future.
Iāve still been working away on OctaEdit, but I trust you can understand and appreciate the reason for the delay.
I have been adding some very nifty enhancements; however my intention now will be to finish v2 and move on with my life.
OctaEdit is not, and has never been financially viable; and my talents (or lack thereof), would probably be best suited to more fruitful endeavors. At the end of the day, Iāve still got bills to pay and mouths to feed, and OctaEdit doesnāt do that. At some point, v2 will be released; and then we will see what the future holds.
So I guess Iām going to be spending a little bit of time reflecting, healing and thinking about stuff and things; and see where life takes me.
Iāve got a couple of very interesting and exciting ideas kicking around in my mind; so Iāll be reaching out to the community if that is the way the cookie crumbles.
In the meantime, Iām going to go look at bunny rabbits dancing in moonbeams in a field somewhere 
Best,
Rusty

Sorry to hear of your loss Rusty. I canāt imagine how challenging the last few months have been but thank you for sharing a little of your experience and I hope the coming months afford the time and space for you and your family to recuperate and enjoy the little things together.
In creating and updating OctaEdit youāre supporting thousands of people around the world to explore, create and innovate all of the time. So youāre already doing some cosmically awesome shit and making a tangible difference to the world in ways that are difficult to fathom and track.
Please keep up the awesome work and know the community love and respect you both as software pioneer and as a human being
Love and best wishes,
