Many, many thanks! I will get to work and I will be back soon with something for the community, hopefully helping community members to self service themselves. Again, I thank you!

I just wanted to say: THANK YOU SO MUCH! Your Midi Solutions Event Processor Plus script works like a charm! I simply loaded it up and bam - it worked! I will be back soon with details to share for everyone. 
@sezare56 - thank you!

I have more complex scripts for slice control, letting you play slices chromatically, shorter length for higher octaves in loop mode…

I just wrote a sketch for RK002, it’s possible to trigger slices with it too now !
There is a new beta firmware Arduino based, it looks like that :
boolean RK002_onNoteOn(byte channel, byte key, byte velocity)
{
RK002_sendControlChange(channel,17,key);
RK002_sendControlChange(channel,48,key);
RK002_sendNoteOn(channel,84,velocity);
return false;
}

After reading this thread I can only conclude that no one at elektron ever used an MPC or made beats… Even with mkII no MIDI note to trigger slice… 
I’m really now thinking of just going back to my mpc for some projects I have, this is a bit crazy. But along the lines of insanity, has anyone programmed an axoloti to process the midi events to convert notes from an MPC? I have one that I’ve used before to make a midi dispatcher so I guess I could retrofit it for this purpose…
You can trigger slices and slots with OT trigs.
If you can do a midi dispatcher with Axoloti, slice triggering should be easy.
Map notes to CC48 (crossfader), map notes to note 84.
CC48 must be sent before note.
You can add CC17 (start/slice) between if you want to record slices.
Scene A = Slice 1, scene B = Slice 64
I’d like slots midi control too.
Hello, I’m not one to complain about much, I freakin love elektron gear, p-locks and soundlocks separate them from basically everyone else making hardware.
After spending every waking minute with the octatrack MK2 for the last two weeks, I am starting to actually try and bring my visions to life now. First thing I notice is that I cannot trigger full control of 64 slices of a track with a midi controller ? only 4 pages x 16 triggers via the octatrack unit itself ?!
Slice sampling long phrases is the bane of my existence, I looked up this feature assuming I just didn’t have it enabled, I can’t even believe this isn’t a feature. Out of all the wild ideas I had, I figured at the end of the day, if nothing panned out, I have a sweet hardware sampler.
I know Elektron does their own thing, and I respect them for it, but I can’t really believe this… this is a core fundamental of sampling, why would they not include this feature ? Its not a complicated feature in any way either.
I apologize if this is a common feature request. Does anyone who is tight with elektron have any idea if this feature will be added at a later date? Personally, I would sacrifice almost all other midi IN features in exchange for full control of sliced long phrase sample.
Any help is appreciated

Yep. Please, please add this. I think it’s bevause of a lack of available midi notes. Simple solution: create a second “autochannel” just for slices. Maybe not the most elegant, but it would definitely work.

Or use the existing auto channel, but only the first 16-32 notes. Waaaay better than nothing! (Or buying an expensive midi processor box)

Still a feature request of course (you can add slots midi triggering) but there are workarounds with midi processors, sending CC17 (START) and CC48 (crosfader) before a note.
Works perfectly.

So you did get it working with the RK-002 cable ?
Yep.

Noooice. Thanks for that buddy

I can put it on the RK-002/DUY portal if you wish, then anyone can program it on the cable via a MIDI interface without having to install and compile on arduino ( https://www.retrokits.com/rk002/exchange )

Sure !

Ok, well here’s a direct link to the DUY sketch, anyone interested can upload the DUY-sketch to an RK-002. (Google Chrome browser is preferred when using WebMIDI)

Hi There,
I might be confused re the discussion above. Are you guys saying that with the RK-002 cable and this script, we can connect a MIDI pad controller (like tha Akai MPD26) and auto-convert MIDI notes to CC data that will play Octatrack slices?
And if so, can the Octatrack record/sequence what we play from the pad controller as well?
Cheers
Ben
Yes and yes.
Mpd 26 needs a usb to midi din I guess.

Game changer!
The MPD is old school(ish) so has DIN MIDI.
Amazing, thanks for all the hard work in this thread BTW.
