What's amazing is, with the exception of the pads, it's almost the exact same layout as the A4, thus making it easy for A4 owners to quickly get used to the control surface.

Oh, and $1,549 list, too.
Yeah this will go nicely with my A4. Glad i held out on buying another Drum Machine as this one looks pretty nice. Has plenty outputs too which is a bonus. :-)

In the second video i posted on the last page it shows him playing about with the locks and stuff.. this sounds amazing. I'm not bothered about sampling. For the last 3 years iv'e been building a library of shots etc with my own patches processed and ideal for tech house and minimal so these will feed nicely via usb in to this baby. Hooked up with the A4 this is one seriously good set up for jamming about.
Love it :-)

This is actually everything I've ever wanted in a drum machine. I just bought a Quneo last week to get similar pad functionality from the Octatrack, guess I should have waited.

Griffin Avid agrees and goes searching for a fitting quote he stated earlier in this thread.
While turning back pages, he finds he already quoted himself on page 6.
Wonders if he should Quote his Quote...again.

I had more or less decided the Octatrack, followed by the A4 would be my next purchases, but after seeing that last video I think I may go for the AR first.

Cenk/Dataline really shows it off in this one.

I will be jumping early. Got to sleep on the gear shed choices, but I think I pretty much got it figured.

Glad i held back on a new drum machine. This one is it for me. This is a perfect partner for my Analog 4.
Will abuse my credit card on release day :-)

I told myself I wouldn't buy anything for a long time. God dammit. Unless I wait to trade for a used one, which doesn't seem likely since almost everyone thinks this is as bad a*s as it is..... So yeah, f**k. Im not that upset about it :lol:

Just looking here below. Was hoping for a pre order or to register my e-mail for when they come available but nothing yet. Maybe after the Namm something will appear. Looking forward to getting this one though.
