Grr…Yep. Must have used the rate knob at one point and forgot as I was messing around with the fader and the knob. I was recording video to recreate it for you but no bueno.

Let’s say it’s a feature request to be in topic!

Totally called it.
Would love a tempo per pattern setting that didn’t require the arranger!

Insert a blank pattern and move all existing patterns up one trig!

Bumping this for MIDI one-shot trigs.
Feeling the need for an end note when coming from the previous pattern.

…and the list goes on…
so many nice feature ideas, practical gimmicks and cool little add on twists here to find…
and also many total clueless illusions…
…always keep in mind, that source code came from a different time…
so does the hardware components…mk1 or mk2…makes NO difference…
so we can all be happy that fill mode and conditional trigs still have found their way into it…
but to get this squeezed in somehow, was already kind of a miracle…
stop comparing it to actual machines and their further options of optimization and think, that must be an easy fix also on the ot…it’s anything but that…
the ot remains a beast of it’s own…still ahead of it’s time as much as it is maxed out the way it IS…
make this a whishlist for a future generation of new octatracking…next to come someday for sure…
but calm down ur hopes for any further coding tweaks on what u got in front of u…

1ST trig condition should do the job.

This has probably been mentioned a ton but I want this sooo bad so I’ll add to the masses in hopes of the Octa being graced with an update someday!
P-locking program and bank change.
Heck I’d settle for changing between patterns.

I will echo any and all bpm per pattern requests. Also the trig + yes to preview trig like the digi’s would be super handy!

Hello @Elektron
First, I just want to say that this is absolutely not a post to bitch about the way OT updates are managed, the latest 1.40 is an amazing surprise and I’d like to address a big thank you to the Elektron development team for the continuous support of this machine. But the fact that new updates keep on suprising us makes me believe that it’s still possible to propose and hope for new features for the Octatrack 
So the idea is this: a setting that allows the track parameters to stay the same when moving through parts and banks.
Let me explain: since I got the OT, I’ve dreamt of a live setup that would allow to use patterns and parts as intented, while controlling the machine as a dub mixer with an external controller (in my case my Launch Control XL) . At the moment it is possible to do either of these options, but since parameters are associated to parts, levels and EQs change totally when changing patterns. While if you want to keep everything consistent the only option is to stay in the same pattern and manually change the samples playing. I’ve tried both options, and while they are definitely usable, it always feels a little bit clunkier than it should be and a hair away from absolute greatness.
So here is my humble request, please allow the option to set the parameters as global, so that when we want to use our OT as a mixer and switch through tracks using patterns and parts, the “mixer” stays in the same configuration and we can play it consistently with (or even without) a MIDI controller. This would be such a huge addition to the live capabilities of this machine!
Again, thanks a lot for the continuous support and cheers!
PS: visual feedback for the compressor’s gain reduction would also be awesome

So, it turns out that YOU were the one tipping the iceberg and getting electron to finally update the firmware. You, being the last one commenting and mentioning these two request. Thank you!

Ha! I imagine this kind of thing had to have been in the works long before my comment, but I’ll take responsibility anyway

It’s been over 9 hours since the last OS and we still don’t have OB support. It’s like this company doesn’t care about us.

Yeah, I’ll fear that’s now really the EOL of the OT. What a bummer …

OB was IMHO never realistic for OT. Good to see that updates are still possible though. I was hoping for a xmas surprise, but not really thinking one would come. All thumbs up!
I’m going to wrap a CF card with the OS update in gift wrap, place a bow on it, put it under your tree and see whether you’ll be able to wait ‘til X-mas to open that shit up!

Reminds me I have a new 64GB since months!
Will I wait christmas too?

Really pleased by this new update BUT… individual swing per track maybe? Or I’m missing something and I’m an idiot (well I am, generally, so it wouldn’t be a surprise…) if so ignore the comment and please point me to the right direction.
