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
- mini USB to configure and update Firmware
- 9VDC power supply (included)
- developed & handcrafted in Germany (on planet Earth ;) )"
Zviij's setup includes:
- ELEKTRON OCTATRACK DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE SAMPLER
- AG-KW 8KTAKONTROL CONTROLLER
- JOMOX T-RESONATOR II TIME FILTER MATRIX
- OTO BISCUIT 8-BIT EFFECT PROCESSOR
