Digitakt 4 midi tracks to this…4 midi tracks to my modular…perfection.

This must be the Octatrack MkIII?

[DaveMech]

Quadratrack

Octatrack mk0,5

[HoldMyBeer]

But what if I tape two of them together?

[Flipsos]

STEREO sampler, looper and live fx. Torso build quality and design. Instand buy for me.

[HoldMyBeer]

Stereo sampler?

In this economy?!?!?

Two weeks still for “reveal”…

Digitakt also has just a 45 second sample time.

Which for most is plenty but I love the idea of processing really long loops

It’s about 33 seconds on DT as I remember it.

On topic: this does look super interesting, but the price is going to be a deciding factor, I feel. If it’s anyway near at best SP-404 MKII or at a stretch Polyend Tracker prices, it’ll sell like hotcakes. But I reckon it’ll be in the Digitakt price range.

Cosmos has 22 seconds loops max and it does amazing with it. If this thing does from 30-45 seconds would be really cool. Tasty Chips does 112 seconds though.

(caught myself with the same thought)

4 parallel stereo audio tracks - you could call that an Octaquad

@Bourn

Isn’t this similar to a Tasty Chips GR-1? It seems at least to overlap some features. That’s another one I could remove from the shopping list.

GR-MEGA from Tasty Chips

[image] The GR-MEGA Scheduled for release at the end of this year. This was shown at Superbooth 23 ( thread link ) and is important enough to require it’s own thread. This is not the improved version of the GR-1, so you can’t call it a GR-2. It’s a whole new synth. It has been coded from scratch in Rust ( the GR-1 is in C/C++), and is both multitimbral, and multi-engine. There are five engines : Sampler, Granular, Tape mode, Granular with slice, and Spectral. Samples can be in either ster…

which coincidentally does look like Octatrack MK3, at least visually

Duo-quadratrack
Octatrack mk0,5*2

… since it’s described as a class-compliant usb audio interface (under “miscellaneous)” I wonder how it mingles
with MPCs, Force, Maschine+, iPads and ofc other Elektron devices …

… I also wonder about the polyphony since “polyphonic sample player” is listed under “audio engine features” …

[MichaalHell]

This looks sleek

This Will not be under €1k

[FinnCaulfield]

It’d be pretty cool if there are envelope followers from the filterbank for internal and CC modulation.

[FinnCaulfield]

I suspect you might be right.

[Hooked]

I assume so too. It packs a lot of features on paper. We will see.

One thing I overlooked which sounds pretty powerful now that I read it again:
“You can also expand the number of inputs and outputs by connecting a class-compliant external USB interface”

[Hooked]

Yeah I was just blind
