Octatrack MKII Anniversary Edition

Yeah, turning down amp volume does not cut fx tails.

Also arranger mutes do not cut audio but triggers - so you can use arranger, with loop set for each row to INF, and you can manually change rows for a kind of preset set of track mutes, using the REM command before each row you can name them too, so like intro1, intro2 etc.

Even if I would. I could not sell my AE. 3000€ is not enough🄳 Its just beautiful.

Nice! I like the idea of muting via the scenes.

Personally though, I’m not a fan of song modes/arrangers. I always thought that was how I could write techno. But for me, I learned that I need to jam the track out live (hence the mutes) and break out of traditional song layouts.

Sometimes it’s rad (a lot of the time) but from time to time it’s just weird.

Man - super curious about the OT

As you can only have a scene fully active at a time, you wille have to think of this as mute groups.
This would make it a bit difficult to jungle with other scene powers, so could be a bit tricky.

The Arranger doesn’t necessarily have to be a linear progression of a track.
You could have several lines forever looping showing you different mute groups on a single pattern, for instance, and switch from one to the other manually.

Dropped €500… Perhaps got a bit too greedy with all that Bitcoin, GameStop mania going on lately.

Yep, and it’s still not selling because he’s taking the piss. I could understand AE prices going up massively after a few years (especially if OT got discontinued) but not straight away like this.

I’ve just sent them an enquiry on whether it’s actually in stock or not. Still debating if I’ll bit the bullet on it if it is… it’s pricey!

Update: Damn, they’re quick - it is available!

Yeah I think it’s like $800 more than what I paid for new Mk2 grey 6 months ago…

There’s one in France… number 336

If someone wants one, there are a few on ebay kleinanzeigen germany. Pricy thou

Hey, I cannot say that everyone will experience issues with this brand but, I think I ignored what can be best described simply as ā€œpresent noiseā€. It went away once I replaced these cables and I’m sure that mine were both legit and undamaged. I’m still testing and inspecting my system with these cables, but it’s something you should investigate if you hear something that shouldn’t be present at 0.

349 is posted for sale on Reverb…for $3000 USD

I was in the market for another OT after the 1.40 update with BPM per pattern (will NEVER sell again :man_facepalming:t5:), and I found a Reverb listing for $2000…so I bought it lol I figured that’s the cheapest I’ll find an AE. Can’t wait for mine to arrive on Thursday! I’ll update with my number if it hasn’t already been listed.

I’m not one to buy and sell gear, but the BPM per pattern is what made me keep the DT to use with Ableton and sell the OT in November (should’ve waited a month lol). I’m not multitracking via OB, as I like to use the compressor, but I will miss overdrive for my kick drums. Does anyone in here who has used a DT know how to achieve a similar effect on OT? Should I increase the resonance of low frequencies with EQ and then compress? or is something else going on inside DT? I’m not an audio pro though FYI

try the ā€œDistā€ parameter on the Filter effect (it’s on page 2 of the effect / setup)
