Re: About the absence of Undo in the Octatrack


I hear ya man... the looping pick up machine was what prompted me to buy it... but then, well you know, I managed to watch eBay pickup a Gibson/Oberheim Echoplex Digital Pro

I home the new EDP will come out this year...

Pag 2 of the manual, suggested uses of the Octatrack: the first suggested use is LOOPER DEVICE.
So, do not tell me this please.
As also I would like to shut up (sorry, I am angry, normally I am nicer) those who tell me "you should have read the manual before buying it, and would have noticed the absence of reference to undo.
200 pages of manual damn it! Are you kidding me? I still didnt read it all after months!
Anyway.
I have decided to buy a proper looper battery operated.
I have read the thread best battery operated looper, but no comparison made, just names.
The dl4 can be nice because I need a delay also but one loop is no deal.
The lil is ok but limited.
The lp2 can undo but not redo, uff...

An Octatrack is not a looper. It's a sampler which can do a few simple looping tricks.

THis cannot be true, I must be having a nightmare!
How can I be so unlucky to fall from the Boomerang to something which costs the double and cannot even UNDO a damn wrong overdub?
Did they ever had a looper in their hand before projecting the pickup machines?????????????????????
Any cheap looper can Undo and a 1200 euro octatrack can undo lot of things but not a overdub?

Anders, did you find a workaround?
I try to figure out if I can use more tracks to workaround this but, really I am absolutely and totally indigned with Elektron.
