Hi,
I just got a used Octatrack MKII some days ago and am very unhappy to not being able to get it working really.
When I first turned it on, it said insert Flash Card. When I did this, the Octatrack freezed. After restart, it showed the same behaviour.
So I read the manual and decided to try Demo Mode. I entered it via pushing [Yes] during boot and that worked fine. I had some fun with the Demo Mode and decided to get a card reader the next day to see if something is wrong with the CF card.
From there on I now never got out of the Demo Mode again.
I bought a Card Reader and the CF card seems to be fine, I formatted it to FAT 32.
- When I start the unit with the card inserted, it freezes at the Demo Mode Screen (just before you get to the normal mode with all the menues etc.)
- Midi upgrade to OS 1.31 didn’t change anything
- Holding down [No] during bootup doesn’t help
- Entering early startup menu works, Empty reset doesn’t help
I am out of ideas and a bit frustrated… would want to get started with this amazing device as soon as possible:)
I know about the two other threads, discussing the same issue, but they didn’t find a solution or didn’t post it.
Thank you for your help!
