Elektron Announces The Octatrack MKII Sampler

Elektron has announced the Octatrack MKII, the next installment to the original Octatrack sampler that brings several aesthetic and workflow improvements including an OLED screen, a rearrangement of new backlit buttons, and more.

Octatrack MKII is an eight track performance sampler and sequencer, designed for both live performers and studio producers. Thanks to its clever combination of internal tracks, MIDI tracks and in- and outputs, it is perfect as the centre piece in any rig.

Overall, the Octatrack MKII offers the same core features and functionalities of its child, the Octatrack, although the slick new interface definitely makes the MKII an appealing product.
