Stop touching
the CF card.

Oktamax Manager builds complete Elektron Octatrack projects from your Mac — tracks, machines, effects, scenes — prepared on a big screen, written to the card in one pass.

The real thing, full size

A straight screenshot of the app, running — no render, no retouching.

Three moves

Build. Play. Generate.

01 — BUILD

On a big screen

Choose a Set, name the project, set the tempo. Eight tracks, four parts, samples with slices and markers — laid out with a mouse instead of an encoder.

02 — PLAY

Hear it before the card

Audition your tracks in the app: the familiar screen, FUNC pages, a click, and the A/B crossfader to test your scenes live.

03 — GENERATE

One pass, one project

One button writes a complete project folder for the CF card — and verifies its integrity after writing. Validated on the real machine.

The desk

The machine you know, on the screen you have

The layout mirrors the hardware — tracks around the screen, steps below, crossfader at hand — so nothing you learn here is wasted on stage.

The LCD screen

The screen

Waveform, slices, BPM, start/end points — the familiar display, readable at arm's length for once.

The 16 steps and the crossfader

Steps & scenes

Sixteen steps, four parts, A/B scene slots — and the crossfader to blend between them while the tracks play.

The scene generator

The scene generator

Recipes like Dub Delay or Reverb Wash generate a full scene of FX locks in one click — clear, copy, paste, reroll.

The whole desk from above

The whole desk

Project, transport, tracks, steps, generator and sample pool — one window, no sub-menus.

In motion

Take a closer look

A 3D pass over the desk — screen, tracks, steps, crossfader.

What it writes

A real project, not an export

The full chain is validated on hardware — Octatrack MKII, OS 1.40 — down to the effect IDs.

TRACKS

Eight tracks with Flex, Static, Thru and Neighbor machines, each with its own setup.

SAMPLES

Audio pool, per-sample BPM, slices and markers — everything the machine expects to find.

FX

FX1 and FX2 per track, with validated effect IDs — including the ones the docs disagree on.

SCENES

A/B scenes with FX and level locks, driven by the crossfader — built by hand or by generator.

MIXER

Project tempo, mixer and settings, written into the project files themselves.

VERIFY

Every generated project is re-read and checked for integrity after writing. No silent corruption.

Trust

Careful with your card

  • Never destructive: Oktamax only writes into a fresh project folder — it never modifies an existing project.
  • Hardware-validated: the generated files are tested on a real Octatrack MKII, OS 1.40A/B/C.
  • Open foundations: built on the community ot-tools-io library — Oktamax Manager is GPL-3.0.
