user Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I think firmware updates will take care of that. Totally talking out of my ass though as I've yet to fondle a digitakt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubularCorporation Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Hahaha wut I bet everyone at Elektronauts are losing their collective shit http://www.juno.co.uk/products/elektron-octatrack-dps1-mkii-dynamic-performance-sampler/655893-01/ To put it mildly!

flacid Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I'll be interested if it has more outputs and midi sequencing capabilities (16 tracks would be nice :)). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubularCorporation Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 It would figure this would happen right after I finally got one, but I guess if it's real that will make mine sound better because it will be vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) I'm not too concerned. The octatrack is amazing, and even if a newly updated one got released and I wanted to buy it, I could sell my existing one for close to what I paid for it anyway.. The only things I'd want from an updated octatrack would be on the software side—better mute behaviour, ability to link trigs/tracks like on the monomachine/machinedrum, conditional trigs etc. Anything hardware related would just be a luxury, though it'd be pretty nice to have 8 ins, and 8 outs via overbridge compatibility so I could use it as a multitrack USB interface as well :D Edited June 28, 2017 by modey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acid1 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 All I know is, if they add all the conditional trigs to the OT MK2, this red and green guy sitting directly in front of me might be going on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 I'd be tempted. I kinda just wish that Elektron would give us conditional trigs in an OT update.. but that'll never happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubularCorporation Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 All I really want is for them to fix that bug in the pickup machines, all the other limitations and weird workflow choices I am completely happy to write off as "personality."

sheatheman Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) If that's true I have the worst damn timing. Not to mention that the sell price will take a major hit. Edited June 29, 2017 by sheathe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 i really hope this is true! been waiting for this forever. octatrack is my main rig. a mk2 is inevitable at some point. the octatrack remains a very popular machine for Elektron and yet is the only one without overbridge. the fact that Juno refers to it as a mk2 and shows a slightly higher price than normal leads me to believe this is legit. overbridge enabled: 100% chance trig conditions: 100% chance OLED screen: normally i would say no, but given the price increase: 70% chance new effects: 40% chance better time stretch algorithm: god i hope so. analog filters/overdrive: 0% chance could care less about overbridge, but trig conditions? yes please.

sweepstakes Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I hope they fix the direct MIDI track trig too. So many cool tricks this would've unlocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flacid Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) Don't like the Digitact aesthetic so happy this isn't wicked. Is the Octatrack v1 out of production? Surely they can't just be redesigning it and asking for £1,200+? Likely will have some Overbridge stuff but I don't give a shit about that.

acid1 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 The new buttons on the OT intrigue me. I have a gut feeling they will add trig conditions and other software updates later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweepstakes Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Very weird. I think I like the new screen though. Pretty funny that they didn't move the cue/reload button - that must have bit every OT user at least once! It would be awesome if the processor and firmware was the same and they do some updated so that the OG OT gets some love too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubularCorporation Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) It would be awesome if the processor and firmware was the same and they do some updated so that the OG OT gets some love too. Yeah, I'm hoping. I secretly like the crappy LCD aesthetic, TBH. EDIT: the response in the announcement thread at Eektronauts is pretty funny.

sheatheman Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 holy shit i thought for sure those pics were a spoof. well, i'll never be able to sell my OT now. gotta start playing live so it gets used i guess. i wonder if the hi res encoders mean the fx well have decimals now? like, i'd love to dial in a delay at 24.11 instead of just 24 or 25.

That'd mean new firmware tho and therefore 2 codebases which sounds awful to maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juiceciuj Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 so what was a good used price on a mk1 and what should i expect to see for them now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweepstakes Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Also hi res encoders just means the value is incremented or decremented faster per twist. Everything beyond that is in code. The more I think about it the more likely it seems that the codebase will be the same as OG which means we get firmware updates finally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
