Octatrack (mk1) cheat sheet
I've been meaning to write this up for a while, so might as well now.It seems that Elektron Octatrack was built with a built in neuralizer. Despite having had it for years (almost since it came out) I can never seem to remember what combination of masochistic finger oragami I need to do in order to get to the parameters I want beyond some of the basics. The manual for the OT is....just terrible, too, which doesn't help (it's a maze of partial explainations, and references to other parts of the manual that drive me bonkers). I decided a while ago to compile a cheat-sheat of my own and post it here so it may help others.Obviously, the list of functions below is not nearly complete. I'm going to document it as I go and look for things so I an avoid the manual in the future. I also plan to do this with other pieces of gear that seem equaly inscruitable. I hope this is helpful.To be honest, with as difficult as it is to use, I am amazed at how much I love the Octatrack. I haven't really even considered upgrading to the MKII (Though if a deal crosses my desk, it would be hard not to add one). But I do, I love the thing. It's one of the enduring keepers in my studio.
