I was unsuccessful to get the polymux to work on the OT via the Modifier script. It worked like a charm on the Digitakt. Did you use Modifier or Digitakt Euclid/PolyMUX/ARP?

What’s this?
Sorry, “firmware”

Can the polyphonic trick be done with an iCM4+?
No, Icm4+ does a basic mapping. Unless there was a huge update…
Nice evolution. I have to try that…

Finally got around to re-testing this and it does indeed work! Neat

Hey @sezare56, did you ever get to test the Rk-002 with an OT? Did it work? Do you have Mk 1 or 2? Thanks!
I didn’t tested but you can rely on Retrokits and as it works with DT, I can’t see any reason it would work with OT. Common midi notes on different midi channels principle. Standard midi messages. Even if it was not working, the script can be modified to do so.
I have a black beauty, MKI and MKII share the same OS, so once again, you can go for it.

Hi guys, I’ve got an OT + rk-002 + keystep, but can’t get the keystep to trigger any audio tracks. The OT OS 1.40 offers this setting:
Added support for triggering trig modes on audio tracks via MIDI. To enable this, set AUDIO NOTE IN in MIDI CONTROL to either FOLLOW TM or MAP/TRACK.
I’ve tried both of these options, no luck. I’ve tried all the auto channels in the midi set up and going through each and playing all octaves of the keystep, but still no luck. Retrokits says the keystep should have enough power to power the rk-002, so that shouldn’t be the problem.
All videos about rk-002 are about DT, so the correct set up for OT seems to remain elusive. Not sure how to further debug my set up, so if anyone has any pointers, that would be super helpful!
Worked perfectly for me.
For RK002 settings I chose channel 1 as base, 8 poly voices.
OT : MAP /TRACK, choose Slices with MIDI button + arrows
Keyboard : channel 1

Thanks! Actually I got it to work, so pretty happy about that 
Next issue, possibly related, is recording like you did in that video. I am using REC3 (source main) and a recorder trig, but seems its only capturing only a few of the tracks. E.g. I can play a Cmaj7 chord on the keystep, hear a Cmaj7 chord out of the main OT output, but when I play back the captured sample, I hear just one note, sometimes two, but never the full Cmaj7.
Did you do anything special in your video to make this work? Thanks for your help here
I simply recorded in Live Recording mode. I didn’t used recorders.
If recording source is MAIN, you should be able to record what you hear (listening to Main outputs or Headphones Mix = Main).

Hmm now have a strange problem: headphone output is polyphony and main output is like some just a few scatter notes (never polyphony).
For example, I play a C triad on the Keystep and in the headphones I heard a C triad. If I then plug in the main output to monitors, I play a C triad, I get a few scattered notes, never polyphony.
I noticed this when trying in Manual Sampling mode, Recording Setup 1 has SR3 as Main. When I play a chord, I hear through the headphones a chord, but then when I play back the recording, its like just a few scattered notes.
How is it possible that the headphone output plays polyphony and the main output doesn’t?
Not sure if relevant for debugging, but working fine on Digitakt with recording SRC INT L+R.
What balance between cued tracks and main outputs have you set for the headphones in the MIXER menu?

Good call on checking the cue!
I figured it out. Some notes on the Keystep were setting some tracks to cue, and therefore they weren’t going to main. Wow.
Any idea on how to prevent this from happening? Pressing some other notes outside Octatrack’s two octaves also does other stuff, like starting the sequencer.
In the OT’s PROJECT > MIDI > CONTROL menu, set AUDIO NOTE IN to “FOLLOW TM” or “MAP/TRACK” (manual, page 40).
Then set the trig mode to chromatic (manual, page 69) or set MIDI NOTE MAPPING for each individual track (manual, pages 71-72).
It’s a bit fiddly but it can be done.

I used RK002 and Map/Track Slice mode. You can record on the 8 tracks. Doesn’t seem possible with chromatic mode.
I already made some other 64 notes sample chains.
Send me a private message if interested.
Sounds played by Octatrack.
