We say... A pre-owned Elektron Octatrack MK2 in very good condition. It appears to have been originally sold as a b-stock unit. It has all original packaging and accessories.
Manufacturer's description With the Octatrack MKII, discovering the perfect sample is only the beginning. Twist it, distort it, and carve it into something that is truly yours. Dynamic in name and nature: this is the ultimate sampler for recording sessions, creative kick-starts, and improvisational performances. A stereo sampler, looper, arranger, mixing and effects hub, workstation, performance instrument: you name it. Its power scales and evolves with you during your musical journey.
The Octatrack MKII redefines how you transform your sounds, as well as how you interact and play with them. It is a stereo sampler, processor, and live looper with a powerful sequencer and workstation workflow on top. Choose between several custom machines – static, flex, thru, neighbor, pickup – to suit your sample recording, manipulation, and effects processing needs for each of the eight tracks.

The Model:Cycles hasn't received in update in years but it's still an amazing FM drum machine. Let's revisit the device and see if it still holds up today!"
"We are currently deep in the testing phase of Concrete, fine-tuning exact parameter values and exploring multiple configurations to achieve a balanced yet powerful sound. One of its primary roles is to act as a master device in a live setup.
In the current test routing, Monolit sequences tracks over MIDI in the Octatrack. The audio from the Octatrack goes directly into Concrete, and from there a second output feeds the main master signal to the speakers.
We will be sharing more test sessions soon, where you will be able to hear different drive engines we have been developing, as well as several additional features that were not part of the original announcement but emerged during the development process."
"What is the difference between the Digitakt II, Octatrack MK2, and the Tonverk? While all Elektron samplers offer similar workflows, they each lean into different musical concepts. We will also discuss the learning curve of each and why you might choose one over the others. There are technically four samplers available from Elektron, but for this comparison, we will omit the Analog Rytm since it functions more as a synthesizer than a sampler. If you have questions, feel free to ask them in the live chat!"
"Have you ever wondered how to perfectly move into your next song without stopping the clock or abruptly jumping into the next pattern? This video shows you exactly how to do that with the Elektron Octatrack MK2."
"Torso Electronics presents the fourth live session recorded at our office space in Copenhagen.
In this episode, A. Dixen takes a minimalist approach to his live setup, using the S4, T1, Elektron Octatrack, Elektron Model:Cycles, Eventide Space and Boss DD-500 Digital Delay.
With the S4 being the newest addition to the setup, A. Dixen focuses on exploring and utilising it as much as possible, while relying on the T1 as the creative centrepiece for structuring and sequencing the instruments connected.
About A. Dixen
A standard bearer for the fusion of Copenhagen’s latent experimentalism with a more club-forward sensibility, A.Dixen - the moniker of Copenhagen’s Anders Dixen - is a project neither rigid nor bound, expressing instead a path of development which follows that of his own mental intrigue. It is an effort in condensing years experienced at a wide vantage and spectrum of musicality, to refine it into something delivered with measured intent.
From driving u.k. techno and bass-weighted percussive tek to liminal dub abstactions and a kind of obtuse psych-minimalism, there lies in Dixen a freedom of movement and play expressed like currents in his mental wind. Whether via the introspection of scattered polyrhythms paired with dense atmospheres or through straight 4-to-the-floor thump, there is a coherent sonic thread which strings these diverse modes together, one bound oft in modular synthesis and analogue experimentalism. Despite this headsy proclivity, he is just as likely set to rights by the weather, the time, the space; sun beams through rafters calling forth an early tech-house attitude, a deep-house swagger, a steppers inclination borne out in more recent radio outings and club sets.
Through A.dixen we find entire multitudes, a reservoir channeled through an adaptive seekers sentiment into something singular. Forward, ever beyond.
"The Melodic Bus and Drum Bus Performance Mixer concepts are built to make live sets feel effortless: faster routing, tighter control, and more expressive movement with fewer steps. They’re designed around practical performance decisions, so you can shape tone, space, and energy in real time without breaking flow, while still leaving plenty of room for your own style and surprises. In today's stream I will teach how to build this out on the Elektron Octatrack MK2. This is a deep dive tutorial.
"Today we sample Hermod+ ambient sequences into a fresh project on the Octatrack MK2. Follow along and learn the Octatrack while you watch. We will be focusing on randomization and ambient sounds. Enjoy the session and tutorial!
Over 300 one-shot samples, 20 loops, nine sample chains and a bespoke Ableton Live instrument rack - this is my love-letter to the Erica Synths x Hexinverter HexDrums!
The HexDrums is a modern hybrid analogue drum machine released by Latvian powerhouse Erica Synths - the analogue circuits are derived from the Mutant Drums eurorack modules created by Canadian sonic maestros Hexinverter, while Erica Synths provided a version of their digital Cymbals module for maximum sonic flexibility.
The HexDrums is a punchy and performative drum machine, representing a vintage soul with modern trimmings. This pack is my attempt to squeeze every last drop of variety from each voice, allowing a sampler to act as a more flexible and economical doppelgänger for the hardware.
One-Shots (304): Recorded through high-quality preamps and encoded in 24-bit 48kHz, these individually-crafted and diverse sounds push the entire sonic potential of the device, grouped by voice type into folders:
Loops (20): A selection of click-free loops carefully recorded from the hardware through high-quality preamps, and encoded in 24-bit 48kHz and organised by BPM.
Sample Chains (9): All one-shot samples of each type contained within separate files and equally-spaced designed to efficiently work as a single ‘track’ of any sampler with a slice function but with the Elektron Octatrack in mind (16-bit 44.1kHz). Octatrack users can simply transfer each chain and corresponding (.ot) data file onto their CF cards for instant pre-sliced results.
Ableton Live Selector Kit (designed with Ableton Live 12 Suite): Designed to capture the analogue heart of the machine, this Ableton Live project houses a custom drum rack containing all the variants of the one-shots from each kit type, selectable with a macro knob and set to cycle through the different samples of each sound type, as well as individual voice settings, presets for each voice and overall kit settings including compression and EQ.
This pack aims to capture every nook and cranny of this device - each individual sound recorded with attention-to-detail and organised in a logical fashion. Enjoy!"
"The amazing thing about the M8 Tracker is the tools set it offers you to achieve your goals. Today, I want to share some of my perspective on the device and show off a few tricks that really demonstrate that the M8 can be whatever you need it to be. We will discuss Dub delay's, arpeggios, and make some chill tunes."
