I’m a fairly new Octatrack owner so hopefully I’m missing the obvious. I’m just beginning to explore parts and noticed when I change to a new part that all the tracks are affected by the parameter knobs at the same time. I’ve created three flextracks with different samples - how do I get the parameter knobs to just affect the focus track? When I switch back to part 1 the knobs control the selected track as expected.
Maybe you have a master track on one part. Or neighbour track(s)?
I’m not near my octatrack at the moment, I assume a master track would only control all tracks when the master track is selected. What is happening in my case, no matter which track I select the parameter knobs affect all tracks. Since this isn’t the case when I switch back to part #1, I thought it might have something to do with part settings, although I am selecting an unused part with nothing assigned to it.
are all tracks set to the same channel by any chance? or maybe to the auto channel?
This sounds like the most likely scenario… double check your midi/channel settings via [Function] + [Project]
Either that, or you’ve unlocked the secret Ctrl-AL machine 
Well, I found the answer. I have had Octatrack setup as an external instrument in Cubase 8. I discovered when I un-clicked the monitor icon on the Octatrack track in Cubase, the problem went away, even though I had the midi channel set to “any”. BTW each track in the Octatrack is on it’s own channel.
Thanks for the suggestions.
It’s quite an amazing creative tool…so much to learn.

Ummm, that kind of information tends to come in useful when troubleshooting 
Glad you got it sorted out

They usually are. Not a slight towards you, either. I don’t want to count the number of times I’ve gone from “why isn’t this working right” to dismantling/resetting everything, only to find that it was one little thing I’d casually overlooked.
