Elektron Octatrack MKII is an eight-track dynamic performance sampler with a professional 64-step sequencer, offering 8 stereo audio tracks and 8 dedicated MIDI tracks, real-time time-stretching and pitch-shifting, 2 insert effects per audio track, and 3 LFOs per track.
The second generation of Octatrack brings major improvements: a sharp 128×64 OLED display with excellent viewing angles, ultra-durable backlit buttons rated for 50 million presses, a touchless crossfader, precise high-resolution encoders, a greater number of dedicated buttons, and balanced inputs and outputs with increased headroom.
Octatrack MKII is a machine designed primarily for live performance, redefining the way sounds are transformed, interacted with, and played. It is a stereo sampler, processor, and live looper with a powerful sequencer and workstation workflow. The system offers a choice of several custom “machines” — Static, Flex, Thru, Neighbor, and Pickup — tailored to different needs for sample recording, manipulation, and effect processing on each of the eight tracks. Static is better for longer samples with more memory, Flex for complex manipulation of smaller components, Thru processes external signals with effects, Neighbor plays back signals from connected sources, and Pickup can record while playing back the current material.
The sound design and modulation possibilities are huge — three LFOs are available for each track, with an LFO designer offering an etch-a-sketch-style workflow plus smoothing and 19 waveforms to choose from. LFOs can be applied not only to internal and external audio modulation, but also to MIDI. The system offers two insert effects per audio track with a huge selection of reverb, filters, and many others.
Available effects include a tone-shaping base-width filter, a distinctive comb filter, two types of equalizer for precise frequency control, compression, lo-fi, flanger, phaser, delay, chorus, spatializer, and more. If more effect slots are needed, a Neighbor machine can be used to double the number.
Octatrack MKII can function as a compact mixing desk and effects hub for an entire setup, using configurable stereo input pairs and equally configurable main and cue output pairs. Connecting external MIDI gear allows the machine to orchestrate the whole setup through eight dedicated tracks, each with MIDI LFOs and CC control pages.
Elektron’s legendary sequencer makes it possible to build ideas with absolute control and limitless depth, both for internal sounds and external hardware. In addition to the eight audio tracks, there are eight MIDI sequencer tracks. The Arranger lets you turn sequences into songs with repeat, mute, loop, and jump commands.
Octatrack MKII comes with nearly 5 GB of loops and one-shots from Origin Sound, Loopmasters, Sample Magic, and Samples from Mars.
How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK, 'next working day' shipping is free if the order value is over £150, and £5 otherwise. We can also ship on a 'next working day before 12pm' service, which costs £6 for orders over £150 and £7.50 for orders under £150.
Shipping to mainland EU typically costs between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of DPD, Royal Mail and Parcelforce for the UK, and for international orders it's either DHL, FedEx, UPS, Royal Mail or Parcelforce depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we aim to dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 16:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes the couriers may come to collect a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Saturday/Sunday shipping
If you're in the UK and you order before 16:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday or Sunday delivery with DPD. This is FREE for order values over £350, £5 for order values between £75 and £250, and £7 for order values under £75. (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). Please note that any orders placed after 16:00 on a Friday will ship on the Monday.
International shipping times
Since April 2020, the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer. There is absolutely nothing we can do about this, unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
