Hello. I would like to control OCTATRACK with Electra One. I heard that if I send CC#61 from Electra One to OCTATRACK, the parameter values will be reflected in Electra One even if I change the settings in OCTATRACK. I would like to know if there is a way to do this. I immediately made a button to send CC#61 and tried it, but it is not reflected at all. If anyone knows how to set this up, please let me know. ---

Are there any mk2 users with Elektron Octatrack? @izfonic is experiencing a strange problem. Only a fraction of parameter dump messages (initiated with CC #61) is received/recognized by his Electra One. When he connects MIDI USB interface to his Octatrack, it makes it clear that Octatrack sends the data ok. If I send the same Octatrack bulk data to my E1 using the MIDI USB interface (no Octatrack here), everything is received and processed just fine. If anybody was willing to do a few tests with me, it would be great. ---

Octatrack and E1 mk II here, but i am out of town on travel and i fo not think I can talk anyone at home into messing with my gear while I’m out. The Octatrack is a bit complicated to set up MIDI-wise, but if you’re getting a full dump OK from a file and not from the OT, is the E1 sending anything out or echoing anything back that might cause the actual hardware box to stop? ---

@oldgearguy pls contact me when you are back and available. I would do a few tests with you. Thanks! ---

Just want to confirm I am seeing the same behavior as the original poster. As soon as I fix our clothes dryer, deal with a small water leak, and catch up with work, I’ll see if we can get this debugged. ---

Sorry for the extended delays in responding. Getting a full debug environment set up took more time and energy than anticipated. I am committed to carving out time this week to look into why the Electra isn’t accepting all the CCs sent by the Octatrack. ---

I used this CC when I had my BCF2000 hooked up to the Octa, when coming back from controlling another unit. Very handy, the controller instantly repositions to the current Octa settings. ---

It’s weird with the E1. I’ve been testing it and trying to nail down why the E1 seems to ignore most of the CCs. I can send lots of CCs with other devices with no problems but the combination of the OT and E1 just doesn’t get along at the moment. I also see the problem when quickly moving the OT cross fader. Only one CC message gets to the E1. Weird ---

Mystery resolved. OT uses running status to dump all the parameters. The fix is included in the upcoming release. ---
