For 128 Steps, it’s something I could live with.
You know that you can adjust the led brightness.

Turn on scale per track in pattern settings
Set midi track to 64 steps. Set time scale to ½
You now have 64 ⅛ notes each bar of the sequencer is two bars long.
Set you master length value to 128 so that all track get a reset command after 8 bars.
If you’re setting a pad style sound you don’t need to keep 1/16 note resolution. Using this method can give you patterns with ½ note resolution giving 32 bars of total length. Add in trig conditions and you can go even longer. The octatracks limitations are usually the person sitting infront of it

in this case the easiest way for me is to change the scale mode to scales per track, then change the chord track’s tempo multiplier to either x1/2 with 64 steps (1 chord per 16 steps), x1/4 with 32 (1 chord per 8 steps), or x1/8 with 16 steps (1 chord per 4 steps). Don’t forget to set the master to either 128 or INF.
If resolution is not an issue (just chord changes per 2 bars), then x1/8 with 16 steps is the most manageable because you can control all your chords in one single page!
I constantly fiddle with the scale set ups, i think its one of the most essential features of the octatrack sequencer.
hope this helps.

Yep if you just want a chord every 32 steps this is the way I would do it. Chords then go on steps 1 5 9 and 13 of this track. I’m really surprised to see there is so much confusion about this.
