Elektron Octatrack MKII Black - The ultimate performance sampler and sequencer

The Elektron Octatrack MKII Black is the latest version of the legendary performance sampler designed specifically for creative musicians and live performers. With 8 stereo audio tracks and 8 MIDI tracks, it offers an incredible amount of flexibility to manipulate and control audio and MIDI data in real time. The black version of the Octatrack MKII not only brings a sleek look, but also technical improvements that optimize workflow and performance. With its high-quality OLED screen, ultra-durable buttons and contactless crossfader, the Octatrack MKII is the perfect choice for musicians looking for a versatile and powerful sampler.

Technical innovations and improved user-friendliness

The MKII version of the Octatrack comes with numerous improvements that make working with the device even more efficient. The high-contrast OLED screen offers excellent readability, even in dimly lit environments, making it ideal for live use. The illuminated keys are extremely durable and designed for up to 50 million keystrokes, guaranteeing outstanding reliability. With high-resolution encoders and an increased number of controls, the workflow is significantly accelerated, allowing musicians and performers to access their sounds quickly and intuitively.

Powerful real-time sampling and effects capabilities

The Elektron Octatrack MKII offers comprehensive real-time sampling functions that allow stereo signals to be recorded directly and processed immediately. Thanks to the real-time time stretch and pitch shift function, samples can be manipulated in real time without sacrificing sound quality. Each of the 8 audio tracks offers two FX insert slots, which can be assigned a variety of effects per track. This allows deep sound shaping directly in the device. In addition, three LFOs are available for each track, allowing creative modulations in real time. With the contactless crossfader, dynamic transitions and performances can be achieved without any signs of wear and tear.

Live performance at the highest level

The Elektron sequencer is optimized for live performances and enables high-precision control of audio and MIDI data. The 8 MIDI tracks can control external hardware such as synthesizers and drum machines, while the 8 audio tracks can be used to play and manipulate samples. The ability to program up to 16 steps per track makes it possible to create complex and dynamic sequences that can be adjusted in real time. The integration of MIDI and audio elements makes the Octatrack MKII a powerful tool for live sets and studio productions.
