"Very good condition and hard to find purpose built MIDI mixer for Octatrack.

No damage, very light wear.

High quality ALPS faders.
Intentionally similar form factor to DPS-1. (See example photo from manufacturer’s site - rack and OT not included).

I suspect it works with Mk2 if the MIDI CC and parameters match but I cannot confirm.

Default mode on 1st boot is 8x track Amp level and mutes mode. (Someone on the Elektronauts forum called s3kn0tr0n1c posted an Arduino patch to map to track volume instead of Amp level). I never used this mixer enough to find any issues other than my own comprehension of the brain bending complexity of the OT - however, while preparing to list this I noticed the firmware available on AG-KE .de is still at 1.0. I’m not sure if that version was bug-free and didn’t require updates, or if it just hasn’t received patches. — For your caution please consider it as is with no official support"

New AG-KW 8ktakontrol (OKTAKONTROL) Hardware Controller for the Elektron Octatrack

via Zviij who sent in the two pics below.  Zviij has one of the first 10 units made.

Details on the 8ktakontrol via AG-KW. Note this is the first AG-KW post on MATRIXSYNTH.

"Our OKTAKONTROL is a smart addition to the famous Elektron Octatrack. Basically it is a midicontroller-box with 8 high precision faders and 9 buttons to control the tracks in your Octatrack. The Oktakontrol is fitted perfectly to the Octatrack: it is in the same width & height and its sockets are at the sidepanel – so you can place both machines directly next each other. This mechanical detail combined with concentration on the most important functions makes the Oktakontrol a unique & perfect controllerbox for the Elektron Octatrack.

FEATURES
- 8x ALPS faders to control track level
- 9x buttons to control track mute/solo/arm/user configurable
- sturdy case which fits perfectly next to the Octatrack
- all sockets at side panel & user-configurable arrangement of sockets
- based on Arduino (open source / reprogrammable by experienced user)
- Midi IN/ OUT/ THRU/ AUX
