This is a MIDI controller layout for the Elektron Octatrack, providing you with quick access to mutes, solos, triggers, chromatic keys, track volumes and more! It even works bidirectionally.

---------

Setup:

The Octatrack needs to use the default MIDI channels:

Audio Track Channels: 1-8

Auto Channel: 11

The layout works bidirectionally, so MIDI data from the Octatrack is also received to update mute switches for example, or the track volume sliders.

Welcome to the Community... thanks and BIG UP for this new layout! It's looking great and we're seeing it being discussed elsewhere on the Web too. Congrats.

Best!

Thank you, Dan! :) Where else is it being discussed? I posted it on Facebook where it got a bunch of comments so far.

@thetuesdaynightmachines

I don't have an Octratrack yet, but with the arrival of the mk2 the mk1 has become very interesting. And especially because you made a layout for it.

Hey there, It's all your own Instagram posts getting picked up my my Web feelers (i.e., Mention). Which look great!

I'll ingest this post and all the social media you've done around it this weekend, i.e., add the manufacturer to the list, make the layout show up in MD browse, and share about it (and other stuff). Not to mention some MD stuff I need to fix for 2.91... big weekend, this.

Thanks again!
