Octatrack OS Bug Reports

Both.

DELETED:
working at first glance, the decision was not confirmed with more detailed analysis

Thnx Electron :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

I noticed that some things didn’t work with Timestresh set to Auto but working with normal. I didn’t check Attributes, but I didn’t change them and default is Normal.
I don’t know if that behaviour was present before. I’m on 1.30B.
Tests needed.

Yeah all MKI are faulty. Send them to me, I’ll make a decent shop…oups…I mean a decent cemetery ! :blush:

Rather, I still get angry and hack it. For seven years I’ve been at war and love with this device. From OS 0.9x to present day.

Really hoping this isn’t true because I have sometimes spread long recordings across several patterns using slices, so I can work on separate sections of ‘overdub’ without playing the whole track from start. It has always been perfect playback and I have ‘big plans’ for using the technique again :crossed_fingers:

Hi,

Have you experienced such issue?

I set Track 7 recorder like this:

  • 64 steps long
  • source is MAIN
  • Loop off
  • One type recording
  • Quantized to PLEN

I wanted to use it like this:
Playing pattern B2 (64 steps long), then sometime start recording with that track manually by pressing T7+MIDI, and while it records, I switch to B3 where a single trig is present on that track to play back the previously recorded main output (to fade/effect out the performance).

However I often get only strange high frequency noise on B3 and the recorded buffer is empty, and even though I’m on the playback pattern, it’s still recording (the recorder buffers are set for 24s, much longer than 64 steps).
When I open the record setup page for T7 right after the record has started (the + sign is present on the track) I see that it starts recording in max length mode (the tape head moves very slowly and still moving after switching to B3) even though I see that PLEN is set to 64.

This is in 1.30B update:
Reconfiguring the flex memory would make it impossible to trigger flex samples, unless a manual
reload of the samples was invoked.

That’s great. But what about static machines with the same issue? !!!

I bookmarked your posts, I can’t test seriously these days because of a terrace. :sketchy:
I’m still on 1.30.B

Hi there, anyone know of a bug with OS1.30 where the OT freezes in midi mode after an hour or so? Just seems to stop and need a hard power cycle to bring back.

Which 1.30 ? A B C D ?
Do send notes to OT ?
Total freeze ?

Yeah total freeze. and version D

Where have you got 1.30D from? The latest official OT firmware version is 1.30C.

Another issue with internal track recorder which is a bit similar to that I mentioned earlier.

Clean project, one pattern, 64 steps length.
Some continuous sound on T5.
T6 set to rec. buff. #6. Rec. len. is 16 steps, no loop, src is T5. A recorder trig on the first step of 3rd page, and a play back trig on first step on 4th page for immediate playback of the recorded bar.
It works pretty well except when touching the rate knob during the recording phase. Even if I set it back to +63 before switching to the playback on 4th page, I hear no sound from T6. However moving the playback trig 1/384th step forward on the 4th page, it plays back the previously recorded sound even if the rate knob was moved while recording.

copying and pasting between static slots does the same thing to the destination slots

Save project & reload project is easiest workaround when it’s all your slots, otherwise go into editor on affected slot and func+yes to preview & it will come back

how can bugs like this be around SO LONG?

Pre-installed.

Probably a known bug but my OT was hard locking all of the time. Removing the USB cable 100% fixed it. MK1 + 1.30C.

I down,oaded it i think? from the site?

Probably pre-loaded on the Octatrack.

I continue the story.
My three pattern setup uses two parts. B1 with P1 while B2 and B3 (the playback pattern) with P2. The T5 is a static machince in both parts but with different samples.

After running into the playback issue I described in the post this one replies to, and just opening the affected T6 in editor to check its content, and then back, and then reloading both parts, the B1 (with P1) plays back the sample on T5 from P2. Really. Even if I press T5+PLAY. But if I open T5 in the sample editor or just double click on T5 and then back, I get the expected sample back on B1.

CRAAAAAZZZZZYYYYYYY!!! :slight_smile:

OctaMKii

when controlling pickup machines C+D monitor level the MIDI CC58 on respective channel changes only the numbers on the screen, but instead using the corresponding octatrack dial button changes it for real. MIDI only changes on screen with but with no real effect.

anyone?
