Thanks!
@TasTax This is really cool! I love how you have reached out for feedback and then shared results with us. Nice work!
Did you post the survey on the bigger Facebook groups as well?
Great to see the requests for more experimental features. Interesting how few requests for an iPhone version as well. The iPad really does seem to be the iOS device choice for most musicians/producers.
Keep it up!
Yes it can be done with the Play/Stop circle toggle button right next to each instance, it not always a seamless transition if you don’t hit them at correct spot.
Just answered the survey. Forgot to mention one thing at the end, I’d love to see even more premapped midi presets to load, especially for some newer drum/sampler apps that have come out... Digistix, EG Pulse, EG Segments, Koala, Pure Acid, SDS-X, Fractal Bits, Patterning 2, and maybe even some older apps too, like Drummy, Beat Machine, Rhythm Pad.
@TasTax Thanks for sharing the survey results. Good stuff.
thanks for sharing the results! i was curious!
my big vote was to use octa for melodies!
@TasTax , I'm using Octachron inside Nanonstudio 2 to trigger the Slate drum sampler. I've noticed that Octachron recalls the correct preset in NS2, but any note, velocity , etc data that is entered is not recalled when you close and open the NS2 project. Obviously this can be worked around by saving project-specific Octachron presets but it would be great if sequencer data were recalled.
On a related note, I'm basically using saved presets to create maps. It would be great if we could save our own maps not just presets.
How is this app now? The App Store rating is a little low, but it seems to mostly be from reviews when there were bugs a year ago.
Is it pretty stable now?
Is it possible to have the same “mutation” function as in rozeta xox please?
I use it all the time in AUM, and now in Drambo, never have any stability issues.
Good to know. It seems like the issues were really just version 1.0 issues, and I didn’t see much in the way of bad reviews after that.
Had this since the app first come out
Love it
Quick and smooth
But please when you bring out an update ....
We don’t want to loose what we have already saved
That happened after one of the updates
Lost a lot of beats I had created
I nearly deleted the app after that
But happy to see where this goes
Good luck
@TasTax I just bought this and no problem getting started and using the features (a lot thanks to this thread). One thing, however, I found confusing is the fact that the sequencer or song mode do not change page when running. A white square indicates where you are but the page stands still on which ever one you edited last. Hope this gets fixed even if it's deliberate to save on cpu or something like that, for me it's a bug. Other than that, nice app.
Hey guys,
thank you very much for your feedback.
Hope you are all well and were able to seize the holidays a bit for making some music
We will soon release another free update with some new features and improvements.
We hope to get it done within the next month.
To your questions:
@Poppadocrock thank you, yes we have more mapping presets and making same save- or even share-able on our list as well
@reasOne yes, we are thinking of more melody features as well, what would be the most important things for you here?
@ecamburn thank you, yes that seems to be a bug, it should already work as you expect in other DAWs like AUM and Cubasis but we will try to fix it for Nanostudio as well
@michael_m yes, we fixed the issues and get feedback that Octachron is pretty stable now. if you nevertheless should have problems, please just post ist here and we do our best to help you out
@Sergiu yes, we are already working on stuff like that
@Nicebutfun yes, thats really an important point. we will double-check it for the next update
@Pxlhg yes, we are currently improving the song mode anyway. though the current function is for being able to live-edit patterns which are not currently playing. but we are thinking of integrating an optional "follow function" as well. and are working on saveable mappings
to all of you: is an optional "follow function" (always show the pattern which is currently playing in the large edit view ) a high priority to a lot of you guys or are there other things with higher priority?
thanks again for your feedback and if you have more, please just post it down here.
and if you have not done it yet, it would be really great if you do a small review in the Appstore, that would help other users and us a lot
thank you very much, keep enjoying Octachron and best greetings from Munich
Tas
Done
Thank you very much, that helps us a lot
Hey @ecamburn, thanks a lot for your feedback!
I was trying to reproduce the preset recall behavior in NS2 you've described. For me the presets seem to recall fine, but I'm not a heavy NS2 user so I might be missing something. If you could send me a DM with a example NS2 project which fails loading in Octachron could be super helpful for me, would that be possible? Also is it already failing to recall for the simplest presets? Like a kick drum with various velocities?
Thanks in advance! 🙇♂️
Cheers

Thanks for checking Markus. I tried to replicate what I was seeing and couldn’t. I think what was happening is that I was creating Octachron user presets for Slate inside of NS2 and was going back and forth and saving and reopening multiple presets on multiple channels. I might have written over data in an Octachron by reopening an empty preset.
I went in now and made a project with 4 channels-2 Slates and 2 midi channels with Octachrons. I loaded different Octachron presets, saved and reopened the NS2 project and data in the Octachrons persisted.
All looks good
Cool thanks for the reply
Looking forward to the next update
Follow function would be good
Option to turn it on or off button would be great also
Many thanks
When switching patterns with a midi controller, there is a lag in jumping through patterns or it works only second time you push the knob on the midi controller...anyone experience the same thing?
Anyone use this with volca drum? OR what drum seq apps do yawl use for ext drum via midi. Thanks and Octrachron looks sweet besides.
Personally I enjoy editing a pattern that's not playing, and not having to stop the sequence to edit one. But I can see why it might not be intuitive for people. No priority for me.
@oceansinspace
Use it with Ruismaker and fractal, many others also
@TasTax
Did a bass loop with Atom lasting 24 bars with some changes every 8.
Then I did a song pattern in Octachron (Beathawk drums) to accompany that looking like this: 7+1 (snare fill) +7+1 (bigger fill) +8 = 24. Now I couldn't for the world get these to time up so I changed the last drum setting, the 8, to 9 and then on the second "lap" they are in sync only to be out of it again for the next one. So frustrating but I solved it by recording the notes to another Atom and re-arranging the notes manually and then deleted Octachron for the project. I would of course have preferred to have kept the Octachron. Maybe this has been mentioned already but I just wanted it out of my system
Hi @gusgranite ,
glad you like it. Yes we posted another copy of the survey on some facebook-groups as well and the results are not the same but quite similar. For this In-App survey shown here we even got 240 answers until now but the result is quite the same as with the 130 answers. And yes, we are asked quite often for an iPhone version and of course we would love to have one as well. But compared to other features it does not seem to have that high priority, so we concentrate more on these other features.
Hope you enjoy Octachron and if you have more feedback, just post it here.
Best greetings from Munich
Tas
@Pxlhg thank you very much, we will check this
When using Octachron, the number of notes output does not match the number of consecutive notes set in Step Repeats.
The step notes entered by Octachron in the two-segment display will be output as triplets. This means that one extra note will be output. This is not accurate.
A three-part step note will be output three times in a row. In other words, it is accurate.
Quadruple notes are played five times in a row. In other words, one extra note is output. This is not accurate.
When checking with AUM, depending on the tempo, the above step notes may be output correctly or incorrectly.
When the tempo was 20, the above incorrect output occurred.
When the tempo was 21, the input step notes were all output correctly, whether they were double, triple, or quadruple notes.
I confirmed the above results with AUM, Octachron and Ruismaker.
(I checked the output sound by ear).
Next, I used Octachron and mfxMonitor with AUM to check the signal only.
Again, it seemed to me that there was a false output, a mismatch in the number of signals, in the step notes.
(I am not an English-speaking person, and I am not familiar with DTM or midi at all.
Therefore, I apologize if there are any confusing points, mistakes, or misunderstandings in the text.
These are problems that come from my ignorance or misunderstanding, and I am entirely responsible for them.)
Hello.
Any update on the updates?
Would be nice
Hey @Tamir_Raz_Mataz ,
Thank you very much for your interest. We really appreciate that.
Now over 400 user have answered our little survey. Thx a lot again to all for this very inspiring community!
The answers trended in the same directions as when I posted the last results in October with actually even a little increase on the aum usage ...
But to your question: Yes, we have another free update with some really nice new features in the pipeline. Actually since 2 months its around 95% done but we still suffer from a nasty bug.
Markus @reinerspass is doing his best to fix it and says he is pretty close.
So I really hope we can ship this update pretty soon. I am also really looking forward to it.
So Thanks again for your support and if you or anybody has other questions or ideas, don’t hesitate to post it here in the thread.
All the best and stay mobile ✌️😊
Tas
Let us know if you need testers. 😄
