The new Octatrack also has an ultra crisp OLED screen and an increased count of dedicated buttons, each with a distinct purpose, contributing to the improved MKII user experience.

Octatrack MKII is an eight track performance sampler and sequencer, designed for both live performers and studio producers.

Thanks to a clever combination of internal tracks, MIDI tracks, in- and outputs, and sequencer tricks like conditional trigs, Octatrack MKII is perfect as the centerpiece in any rig.

The sample engine, which features time-stretch and pitch-shift in real time, is capable of radically transforming and reshaping samples in an instant.
