"If you are looking at this, then you know what it is. Much much richer and more expressive than the cut down VL70-m

NEW bright LCD display just put in. Easily more readable than the original part.

New floppy disk drive also replaced and tested.

Full Factory Test Menu Performed (see picture) and passed. There's one slight quirk with this board. On boot up it will say the internal battery is low. I have replaced the battery and the message still comes up (only once each time it is powered up). The message can be dismissed, so obviously it doesn't affect usage.

Comes with a disk, with 3 factory sound banks as shown in one of the pictures.
1. FULLCTRL: Full Control using breath controller, plus 2 mod wheels
2. NOBREATH: No breath controller
3. STANDARD"

Review: Octatrack at year 8 - Is it still worth it?

Published on Jan 14, 2019 loopop

"With plenty of upgrades and 8 years after it was released, is the Octatrack still worth it? This review attempts to find out, in light of a few other instruments that have come out recently.

The review is split up into two parts, first, the top 10 features I think still make it stand out, and then a deeper look at what the user experience “cost” is in terms of complexity.

There are a few sampling and LFO tricks used in this video, all of which can be found in my In-Complete Book of Electronic Music Ideas, Tips and Tricks (hint: it's in-complete because it's always being updated…):

Hive 1.2 - The Wavetable Update

Published on Jan 14, 2019 uheplugins

"While this update is focused on the introduction of wavetable scanning, it also includes other new features, bugfixes, and almost 500 new factory presets.

Wavetables in Hive are easily selectable as oscillator waveforms and controlled in the Hive hexagon. There are many features available to shape the waveform any way you wish: from manual scanning to modulatable controls.

As a plus: a proprietary wavetable scripting language!
This update also includes our new preset browser with tagging support, a new XY section for more performance control with intelligent auto-assignment, new modulation matrix modifiers, VST3 support, and many more improvements."
