Unfortunately it isn’t possible currently - unless we get multi mode for OT, maybe :wink:

Cool, thanks yeah multimap would be good aswell. guess I can just use the trigs

Neighbour machine routing options in setup:

Serial - as is currently
Parallel - when using say 3 neighbours they each only take direct from source track, so they can operate independently - a good use case for this would be eq or multiband compression
Group - allows source track to be muted but neighbour will still pass audio unless muted, additionally the source track could be another neighbour instead of the audio track.

Step preview :wink:

Second this. With the Digitakt/Digitone updates the OT workflow suddenly became noticeably slower…

Prob :wink:

Going to state the obvious (hopefully), and not sure if it’s even possible…but Audio over USB? At the rate the OT pushes, USB 1.1 should be fine bandwidth wise for stereo.

This brought my DN back into my setup with the OT, but it feels weird to use the DN as a mixer for the OT :upside_down_face:

And yea, TRIG + YES as mentioned above would be fantastic as well!

I don’t own a digitakt but been reading about it and it seems that separate sample from you can save parameter settings as “Sounds” so if you lock a Sound to a trigger it switches the parameters saved with that sound? Was thinking it would be great if you could do the same with the Octatrack, lock parameters to sample slots.

Hey I had another idea for a pattern trigs page where you can trigger or launch patterns from the keys and assign patterns across banks to the trig keys and trigger patterns from the trig keys without holding down pattern, basically the arranger but more for real-time pattern triggering.

Would absolutely love to implement “Sounds” and Soundlocks on the OT. It’s probably the only reason I’s consider adding a Digitakt.

Moreover, moving from Parts to a full-fledges Kits system like the othet Elekton’s, along with Sounds and soundlocks, would be a great addition to a Mk3 if that ever happens.

One more pipe dream - in Midi Tracks, the ability to select Audio Tracks 1-8 as a Channel Destination, so that all Midi data on that Midi track is internally routed to the selected track. This probably wouldn’t happen because of possible latency or glitches with tons of Midi data flying around, but it would be fun, and it’d save from having to physically patch it that way.

The ability to map midi cc values to scenes.

An Octatrack that’s modified with S/PDIF and Worldclock output…

Oh wait… checks ebay

Last post I saw that for sale was 2012, still knocking around!

  • Conditional trig per pattern (as in the latest Digitone / Digitakt update)
  • set tempo per pattern
  • sinewave as a default LFO
  • set Midi CC values to scenes

MK2 is USB 2.0, so it can easy handle all octatrack outs and inputs in stereo as USB audio interface. I hope it will be implemented as trig preview, randomization and other new digi-OS features.

OMG polyphonic arp like in A4​:scream::scream:

It’s not possible with the OTs because the USB connection is only to the CF card. That’s why Overbridge is not available on the OT.

Not only CF card, it can send and receive MIDI, update firmware.
I think no overbridge because of 8 stereo outs + 4 inputs, total 20 mono tracks vs approximately 10 on DT or DN.

EDIT: ok, read a manual, no midi over usb, but as OT has firmware update mode and use sysex it can handle MIDI over usb)
