The future of sampling
Welcome a new approach to sampling. Record and process audio in real-time, add effects, restructure, experiment, and use the crossfader for the final twist. The immediate control makes all the difference. Here and now. Instant results.

Audio playground
Treat samples in radical ways. The extensive audio mangling capabilities, which includes real-time time stretch and pitch shift functionality, make the Octatrack an outstanding studio tool. The inflexible nature of samples is finally a thing of the past.

Performance hub
The Octatrack is the given center piece on stage. It is designed to be played and used. Improvise with confidence. Stream gigabyte large backing track samples. Control external MIDI gear. The Octatrack can even act as a small mixing desk. Rock solid.
