Hi!
So i dont know much about programming a CC controller in general and i've quickly found out that working with the octatrack might not be the best project for a total noob. i was wondering if anybody here is doing the same thing and can share their insights. not much info on youtube on how to handsfree the OTMK2.
thanks
Just got an Octatrack mkII myself and am wanting to set up the MC6 to do this. Based on pages 105 and 106 of the OT mkII manual, it outlines how to do this.
In summary, you’d set a preset switch on MC6 to send CC59 a value of 60 to simulate pressing the REC1 button on OT. Create a second switch preset on MC6 to send CC59 a value of 64 to simulate the REC2 button. Follow the rest of the manual to see the other presets you’d have to set up. But since the MC6 doesn’t sent midi notes, you’ll always have to send the midi note value to CC59. This is the Cc that corresponds to sending a midi note on the OT.
And you’ll have to make sure that the midi channel set up on your MC6 corresponds to the auto channel on Octatrack. Not super familiar with auto channel, but it sounds like it corresponds to the midi channel for each track.
Long story short, I think the MC6 should easily be able to do this and I’m going to try it out myself!
