Ok, I can give et a shot: The "control box" is an integral part of the Octo. Therefore I am in no doubt that the dimensions given are all inclusive.

Sorry, but I am not near an Octo now.

Hi Gabriel,
:angry: I do not realy like what you wrote about "predefined Pages/Structures" for a Live Gig ….the Octo or Nemo being not the right tool. Of Course Octopus and also Nemo are live interacting tools but setting up a performance from the scratch with x… people sitting or dancing in front of you….its quite risky. I agree to Ripe that a pre-structured and song-orientated preperation is often needed. But to remember weeks later, what you have programmed ….uuuhh.

Please do not understand my words wrong…I love my Octopus.

Hi,
I am bumping this because I need to know!

Hi Matt, and everyone – the fix is ready to go – if you need it earlier than our next bug fix release, get in touch

so problem solved
new os installed

Question.
I have a 1.44 manual
when I read the release notes 1.60,
do I have all the changes complete?

It would be nice if every addition to a machine was well discribed into its propper topic, so you can add it to your manual..:cheer:

After having checked, there is an inconsistency in the way the POS event is handled. Btw, the Nemo and Octopus inconsistencies differ from one another.
Patch is on the way, but if you need some sooner relief, let me know and we will work it out.
Cheers,
Gabriel

Confusin me too man, had started to wonder if it’s me who’s lost. It usually is.

[gseher]

After shutting the machine down and starting up it is still there.

so I have an empty page- press start-lights are running- enter some random notes- doubleclick a track(forinstant no. 2)- choose no.3 of the DIR options(to get the ping pong mode)- esc from DIR map-press stop – press start-
And track no.2 is starting one step behind 1,3 and 4.

I never upgraded the os since I got the machine so..I probably have the old os.

I will try so..

Yep, it would make purchasing a Nemo a no-brainer for me.

Just to let everyone know – Hartley and I are working on this offline, and have already made some good progress so far, and are still exploring some more ideas.
If this is an issue that causes major headache, contact me directly. Thanks, Gabriel

Hello, I was not able to reproduce the issue here. So a few questions:
– what OS version are you on? Do you run the latest (1.60)?
– Can you spell out for me the steps you do in a blank page, in order to get that behavior?

For one, I have started with a fresh page, then started the sequencer, the changed a track’s direction to ping pong, and then stopped the sequencer. When I press Play again, all tracks start on position 1 and continue as they should.

Also I meant to say.. A modern and quick USB storage format would make the issue about reloading pages only to their original slots irrelevant for me.

[gseher]

Thanks gseher.

The way I’m thinking I could work well with a Nemo is to use both the Nemo and an MPC1000 to do all my midi sequencing. This would mean I would need to merge the outputs of both the MPC and the Nemo to send it to the same chain of equipment

So that way if the MPC was the master I could sometimes switch to a blank page on the Nemo while I play a preprepared section on the MPC, then move back to the Nemo again. I’d see the Nemo as sequencing probably 95% of the time. But that 5% of pre-prepared material is vital to my music.

So that’s why I asked about external pgmchange, this would really help my workflow with the Nemo if the MPC is sometimes the sequence master. When I go to a prepared section on the MPC I could automatically switch the Nemo to a blank page.

I am concerned about the fact that pages can only be restored to their original location, but I imagine I could work around that. All my concerns about making music with the Nemo are gone.

But.. and there’s a big but.

The use of Sysex as the storage format is a major turn off for me.

I’ll be totally honest, in a unit costing €1400 (which actually has a USB connection onboard) this seems like a very inflexible and antiquated choice. The use of sysex for OS update and non critical tasks at home is fine… I am used to this and comfortable with it.

But to add a Nemo to my gig setup would require an extra piece of equipment to recall states via sysex. I really hope you guys think hard about this one because it seems a major compromise to me.

I have total respect for the project and it’s an incredible achievement for a small company. I really hope this is something which can be addressed.
