App · In development
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.
On screen
The real thing, full size
A straight screenshot of the app, running — no render, no retouching.
Three moves
Build. Play. Generate.
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.
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.
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 screen
Waveform, slices, BPM, start/end points — the familiar display, readable at arm's length for once.
Steps & scenes
Sixteen steps, four parts, A/B scene slots — and the crossfader to blend between them while the tracks play.
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
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.
