No? At least not for me ...
There used to be another dial there, it’s still in the manual but it’s disappeared from the app it seems.
No “Swing Grid” dial on mine.
No, no Swing.
Hey @Cỗirácâyỗirpthui, you're correct we removed Swing Grid feature, or rather, with the last update some parts of the app where completely rewritten, und we decided not remove complexity a bit on the swing grid side.
Is it something you and everyone just noticed or are you actually missing this feature. If so what are you using it for?
Cheers Markus
Hey everyone, we released version 2.1.2!
This update addresses several bugs and improves performance:
Thanks so much for your continued support!
Tas & Markus
Thanks a lot for the update.
I do appreciate the DSP fix. Much less resource usage on my iPad 9.
Thanks for another great update.
I love Octachron, but I’m struggling with two things. I use it in Loopy Pro and want to use widgets to switch between patterns. I encounter these two problems:
1) I can switch patterns only once. After that, the pattern won’t change when prompted through the widget. This might be a Loopy “problem”, I’m not sure? I choose Octachron’s own AU parameter option for changing the pattern in the widget, can’t think of other ways - and, as mentioned, it DOES work on the first try.
2) I like to have some patterns with fills, and then switch in the middle of a pattern to get some fills action. So, I choose Instant Pattern Switch in Octachron, but when I switch between patterns in the middle of a pattern, there is a flam effect, as if they’re not doing a “clean” switch.
Hope anyone has a suggestion for a solution, if the descriptions make sense at all? 😃
Are you sending Note On followed by Note Off, or CC value 127 followed by value zero? That may be required before selecting another pattern.
Yeah it's the same with Baby Audios Transit. I need to send a 1 followed by a 0 so that the button resets to be able to re-engage the effect. Maybe try this with Octachron as well?
@uncledave Yes, @oscillotus is correct, you can just use
Somehow the app has to detect a change.
PressandReleasestates for it, wherePresswould set Value to true, andReleaseto false.Ah, great! Thanks, everyone!
Octachron was breathing new life into my volca beats yesterday, lots of fun.
One idea came up about the way the shift function changes multiple modulation steps at once.
For my use (stuff like decay or filter cutoff) it would be excellent if shift+changing mod steps would keep their current 'shape' and incrementally move them all up or down together, instead of snapping them all to the same value. That way I could keep a groove that I've drawn in but change the intensity. If I wanted to set everything to the same value, a quick swipe up or down to 'smush' them all together before setting the value would be fine.
Has this been suggested before? Would it be helpful for others?
No, but interesting idea. We will think about that. Thanks! 😊
What do the others think about that? 🙂
If it can be coded and not break anything, I like the idea.
Got my brain thinking about probability and velocity for buildups and dropoffs
+1 from me!
Edit: if it could be an exposed perimeter, I got knobs that would love some twiddlin
Man. There's a lot of things I should change about that sentence...
hmm, I learned that if I don't place any triggers on the sequencer and just adjust the mutation per track, I get sounds from the device I have it hooked to. I'm a bit slow but love this!
Whoa…really? Imma try this!
if not, than I have a bug. But don't tell anyone!
Settled in for some octachron fun with this “triggerless mutator” stuff you mentioned and… I don’t see anything in regards to “mutators” for tracks, or ANYTHING! haha, you sure you were using octachron or am I blind? (I know Jamp percussive has a “mutator” knob 🤷🏻♂️)
Edit: Nevermind, found it! (Sorry, I’m new to Octachron 🐑) what is this ghost note madness?! Haha, spooooky
So it might be a little on the nose but,
Please somebody pair it with this:

(Paging @Gavinski, Dr. Gavinski to the OR)
Whew! Someone else sees it! I’m not crazy 🤪
Maybe it’s in the manual and I missed it. Maybe it’s an Easter egg.
Who cares, it’s fun and I’m gonna go play more!
Is it possible in Octachron to hold a note. If I pair it with Relic Flow for example?
Thanks for replying about this! There's one other addition that, if it came with the below, would make it a real modulating dream for me: some control over 'slope' of the CC value jump between steps, like an option of a more gradual ramp between values than just a sharp step jump.
Octachron makes a great FX sequencer, I've been using each track to send CC to a different send (adding splashes of reverb/delay) or insert effect (some bitcrush on a fill every 4 bars etc).
No, I don’t think so. Or has anyone an idea?
Ok thx, we will think about this 😊
If you have mozaic, might be able to find a “hold the note” script on patchstorage and put it in between octachron and your audio source. Worth a shot! StreamByter might have one too
https://patchstorage.com/latch-and-switch/
This should work. There is also a Latch module in Drambo.
Thanks guys, will check this out! In the meantime, I've fallen back to Koala, which takes a bit more time setting up, but gives more flexibility. I might check out the script as I feel Octachron would give more immediacy!
---- don't mind me, just updated and my problem was solved
