I’ve been obsessed with the Elektron workflow for a few years now. The Octatrack is the ultimate.
This thing is just so insanely versatile and powerful and can be set up to work in so many different and unique ways.
It is a bit complex and takes some manual reading, tutorial watching and some serious practice. But all that effort is 100000% worth it.
I was waiting to see if Elektron would release an mk3.
The day they dropped the anniversary edition I knew an mk3 wasn’t coming so I literally ordered one that day.
The Fact that you have a fader that can change hundreds of parameters with one sweep and 16 different variations of that.
Plus “parts” were are a bit of a mind f*+% at first but once you wrap your head around them you realize how insanely powerful it is.
Plus they just updated the firmware (after 10 years) to match the new digi box features.
Huge game changer !!
I could go on for days about how powerful and awesome the Octatrack is but I’ll just leave it at this :
This is the ultimate in sample manipulation, sequencing and even loop box style workflows.
If you enjoy making music you have to try the Octatrack.
There’s nothing else like it !!!!

Yes, the rumors are true. There is a learning curve for this machine. I havent given it my all to learn it yet, BUT what I have done with this machine the learning curve is soo worth it. If you are into live sampling- Look no further

If your considering getting this then just fo yourself a favor and do it. This is a workhorse of a machine. Workflow took some getting used to but all gear takes some time. I love it. Midi is kinda clunky but, what it can do as a drum machine and how it can really shape songs is wonderful. Definitely became a center piece for me and my home studio

The Elektron Octatrack MKii is a physical upgrade from the Mki. The instrument is the core of my set up both live at gigs and in the studio. There is a steep learning curve, but one you overcome it, then a whole world of creative possibilities opens up!

It’s a fun learning curve, it’s like a Swiss Army knife of making music. So many wonderful sounds and creative projects can be made with this machine.

The Octatrack has completely changed my workflow and how I approach making music. It's a little intimidating at first, but only because of how much it can do. I've had mine for nearly three years and I still feel like I've just barely scratched the surface.

This is my second Electron buy, my first being the analog Rytm. I love their machines! The Octotrak has superior sampling capabilities and it's a very attractive looking machine. Looks great when doing live sets and I'm constantly getting asked to make music samples for other artists based off of the sounds I have compiled using this machine.

Not the most intuitive but easy enough to grasp with extended use. Incredibly versatile and there are so many different paths you can go. It's amazing that they were able to pack so much many features into this box.

The Octatrack is capable of doing some amazing things; I have some cool tracks produced with this instrument. I am still learning the Octatrack, and it's been fun. As with other Elektron gear, there is a bit of a learning curve, so expect it. Above all else, just have fun.
