Elektron - OCTATRACKMKIIB

Description

Octatrack MKII is an eight track performance sampler and sequencer, designed for both live performers and studio producers. Thanks to a clever combination of internal tracks, MIDI tracks, in- and outputs, and sequencer tricks like conditional trigs, Octatrack MKII is perfect as the centerpiece in any rig. The sample engine, which features time-stretch and pitch-shift in real time, is capable of radically transforming and reshaping samples in an instant.

Octatrack MKII is built to mangle samples in demanding environments with high quality buttons and hi-res encoders, a crisp OLED screen with fantastic viewing angles, a professional contactless crossfader and an increased count of dedicated buttons.

Colossal Sound Sculpting
With three LFOs available for each track, as well as a LFO designer, there are deeply customizable wave-weaving possibilities at your disposal. You can also assign two insert effects per audio track, offering a vast selection of reverbs, filters, phasers, and plenty more to play with. Utter audio manipulation has rarely been so varied or so much fun.

Pillar of Performance
The Octatrack MKII can be treated as a small mixing desk for your whole setup, making use of the unit's configurable two stereo inputs, and main, cue, and headphone outputs. Then connect external MIDI gear and let the machine orchestrate proceedings via dedicated tracks. The immediate control makes all the difference. And with the game-changing Elektron sequencer, you can lay your ideas out with absolute control and ambition unlocking depth. Command both internal sounds and external gear with the same level of razor-sharp precision.

Inspiration Dynamite
Octatrack MKII comes packed with grade-A factory content. Nearly 5 GB of loops and oneshots by Origin Sound, Loopmasters, Sample Magic, and Samples from Mars assures that creativity can begin right out of the box
