the watmm GAS thread

I think firmware updates will take care of that. Totally talking out of my ass though as I've yet to fondle a digitakt.

To put it mildly!

I'll be interested if it has more outputs and midi sequencing capabilities (16 tracks would be nice :)). 

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.

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

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.

I'd be tempted. I kinda just wish that Elektron would give us conditional trigs in an OT update.. but that'll never happen

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."

If that's true I have the worst damn timing. Not to mention that the sell price will take a major hit.

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.

I hope they fix the direct MIDI track trig too. So many cool tricks this would've unlocked.

Guys, you'te safe... It doesnt do anything new.

Cosmetics, basically.

Yeah, thank god haha.

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. 

This is like 70% of you doodz:

The new buttons on the OT intrigue me.

I have a gut feeling they will add trig conditions and other software updates later.

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.

Yeah, I'm hoping.

I secretly like the crappy LCD aesthetic, TBH.

EDIT: the response in the announcement thread at Eektronauts is pretty funny.

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.

so what was a good used price on a mk1 and what should i expect to see for them now?

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

$299 :)
