Wanted to pin a little thank you up here. This was a hefty video and it's been really encouraging to read the comments. Appreciate the thoughts!

So refreshing to see a non-EDM/techno/glitch demo of this box. Really wonderful soothing sounds. Thanks for making this!

This is the best Elektron demo ever.

Man, I didn't really understand what the octatrack could be for me until this video. I mean, I'd seen plenty of people jamming out awesome dance tunes but something about your style deeply resonated with me, as primarily I'm a guitar player with various experimental electronic influences. I've been trying to ditch the laptop recently and start writing in a way that allows for more fun in a live performance. I just purchased one of these yesterday and I fully blame you, Knobs (in the best way lol). Thanks for taking the time to put this out there - great quality, great tunes, great knobs.

I don't know who's and how many are behind knobs. But man, everything is superb. Gears are always tested in a unique way, sound has it's own flavour, like channel's graphics and video editing. Keep it up. It's so relaxing: music, sounds, text, colors...no words. Thank you

I honestly thought I was safe with the knowledge I didn’t need this piece of kit. My first mistake was watching your video. The second was watching more videos. There’s smoke coming out of my credit card now. BTW really lovely music

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this great video! I love your musical, tonal, and technical sensibilities in a major way, and you’ve inspired me to get back into learning new ways to use my own Octatrack.

Knobs branching out! Love it!

Best I’ve seen, heard, and … this was an art piece- so much more than a demo or instructional. Thank you (from the 6 years in the future) for making this video!

Stumbled across knobs videos when I was researching Chase Bliss pedals a few weeks ago and now own two of them! (Best pedals I own) Well put together, clean simple, artistic video productions, and I love the music in the demos. Found you on Patreon through a previous comment on here and have since pledged monthly! Keep killin it bro, you and Joel make some badass stuff!

Knobs' demos are so great. Awesome sounds, great presentation!

Most musical demo of the Octatrack I've seen so far. Very well done! It's a great machine. I love my MKI.

The most lovely Octatrack presentation video. And beautiful sounds!

This is by far, the best demonstration of an Octatrack on KZfaq- all with interesting music. Thanks.

Lovely music mate! 🌈

What a pleasure it is to hear you shred

Keep coming back to this vid, just awesome thank you.

Woah... Knobs giving Cenk a run for his money on the most awesome Elektron product demo. Great stuff.

Great demo. As an owner of the octatrack that isn’t primarily focused on techno using it for more experimental purposes myself you really nailed it.

I enjoyed this immensely - the sounds you’re making are basically what I’ve been looking to achieve with an insanely-sized pedal board. I think I could probably slim down my live pedal rig and just get one of these. Thanks for posting, Knobs!

This such a fine demo. I really enjoy listening to all the different ambient tracks that you go through. The effects sound gorgeous too. I must have an Octatrack!

Best demo ive seen so far... this is exactly the angle Im looking to use this for too...big thanks for making this! Rdy to get one... great music too btw

First off.. tonals and little spices is what I crave in a box like this. You blew me away. I love the techniques and sounds here. Showcases the details often missed in demo videos. It’s more amazing how you literally made some banger ambient tracks and this thing alone can probably make an entire track start to finish where albeit you don’t really need a mixer unless you want it. Obviously that’s just to highlight how lovely I enjoyed this video start to finish with all the intricacies. Blows my mind the power of technology with the creative flux of human minds. Brilliant video’

Once again, you guys made my day. Please keep them coming :) :) :)

After watching your great walkthrough video all I can say is this is an incredible machine!

Inspirational! Been wavering on getting an OT but you really showed how it can be used to create more acoustic sounding music as well. Love your style! More OT vids please!

Thanks, this is great!

Amazingly well done! it's very inspiring to see the OT used as sampler with plucked instruments. Fantastic!

love how you edited this video, it made it have fun to watch even if you don't have a clue of what the octatrack.

Noice!!! Just bought one, waiting for its arrival. Now I'm VERY excited!!

I posted mine for sale. Hated it. Watched this video and decided I need to put the work in. So many people I KNOW and look up to just swear by it. So I forced myself to learn. God am I grateful. Now I feel like I GET what everyone who’s ever clicked with this gets. Long story short, thank you sooo much for this video. The Octatrack is finally the brain I intended it to be when I bought it ❤️

Octagaze - a new genre! Nice stuff.

your demonstration will rock me in all my car journeys

enjoyed this hugely

Thanks for this Fun and Fresh feeling overview of the Octatrack, I'm late to the party (getting mine this week). Excited.

This is one of the best demo videos for the MKII I've seen so far. Not a review or tutorial, exactly, but it does highlight the creative potential of this machine very well. As a guitar player, it also makes me even more keen to add this to my studio. Now I just need to single out which pieces of existing studio gear I am willing to sell to pay for one! Thanks for an inspirational and creative video!

I’ve watched this video so many times. Pretty this video is the reason I went ahead and got the Octatrack mk2. For me the learning curve has been quite steep and really confusing, but I’ve stuck with it and things get easier every day. My favorite piece of hardware I’ve ever owned. Thanks again!

Amazing work with this demo. Really inspiring stuff 🙌🏻

Really fantastic video, thank you very much for making this! The musicality is awesome, this helped me understand and makes me wanna get the Octatrack Mk2 :)

Best video i watched on the Octatrack so far, Thank you

The best video I've seen showcasing the potential of the Octatrack. The fact that it's more melody and texture-focused is just genius. I'm gonna sell everything I own and get me one.

the jams in the end made me buy it. such a great tool.

absolutely the most insane piece of equipment I have ever seen

I just freakin' love what you do.

The best product presentation I've ever seen. And the sound / music just sells the hell out of both your as the presenter, and the thingy itself. I'm going for an Octatrack MkII right now, even if it involves (maaaybe) selling my OP-1 to afford it.

Dear lord, the sounds coming out of this thing. Its a breath of fresh air. Finally a sound thats not soo brain numbing Kardashian. Bravo my friend.

Absolutely love your video style!

Amazing. Thank u so much for showing us.

This is simply amazing!

Great 👍 job showing off the Octatrack! Thank you 🙏

Wow! Beautiful music.

beautiful demo

This is such a good demonstration for the Octa! Love mine and I agree that it can be a guitar player’s dream tool

This looks like so much fun

these guitar bits really playin my heart strings

This video is perfectly beautiful.

Knobs is awesome and you are a great musician. We want to hear all the pedal beauty poured into an album bro!

So sweet video, thanks!

loved this :-) music + demonstration = WOW!!

After watching this video I began to research the Octatrack MKII. Momentum compelled me to purchase it a couple of months ago. But a busy work schedule and a new school kept me too occupied to devote time and energy into this magnificent machine. But today it finally came together and I'm starting to see a path through.

Great work and presentation, and a refreshing change from the typical dance music videos for the Octatrack. The Mk2 really looks a lot more inviting to use, from the OLED down to the integrated LEDs and buttons. This is the smart industrial design that made their first instruments stand out. Added points for the terrific harmonies and textures here - I really liked the slippery pitches around 16/17 minutes in; they reminded me of Mouse on Mars.

You are amazing. Thank you for this art.

Amazing job man would love more octatrack videos. This was inspiring to watch. I currently own an analog rytm and will be buying octa now due to your vid. Keep the good shit coming imm sub

You killed it, as always.

Great presentation. Seems like a composers dream machine.

Beautiful and informative. Much appreciate.

Just bought one because of this amazing video, hope I can manage to get to grips with it ok.

Amazing sounds

Realy nice! This will be also my next gear.

These sounds are like album worthy....so fockinn good omg

Great presentation and creative direction! keep it up

wow, the best octa vid there is. knobs is boss

Great music, fantastic video!

I was already sold on getting one.. but wow.. this demo was amazing.

Fantastic!

They mentioned bringing al the new features to the original OT. And somehow you still have a knack for making things look awesome so I may have to sell and upgrade:) I'm literally sitting on an OT and after watching your video, I feel like I need the MK2 like " knobs is doing it, must be right". Great video once again!!!

Beautiful video and music!

There are demos. Then, there is the definite demo that trumps all demos. This is that definitive life changing demo.

Thanks for the superb demo, glad to see this not used as simply a techno machine.

im loving this

This is impressive. Elektron should hire you to demo this product. Very musical utilization of Octatrack II . Thanks for the detailed instruction on how you are manipulating the sound. Kudos!

I too am another happy camper because of this video and am VERY surprised to see on the electronauts forum how many of "us" there is who got the bug after seeing this! You, my dear sir" is a legend! (all the way from Cape Town, South Africa)

What a great demo. Finally some experimental music, not just techno. I´d love to try one out..but I guess I would never get how it works..

Great demo...sweet sound!...

Great demo

That was awesome thank you

awesome video, makes me miss my octatrack!!!

I loved this

what a great machine and what a great video about it.

Great choice from elektron to ask you to demo the new octa. So nice to hear something other than techno coming out of one of these boxes.

that pedal is amazing :P

Lovely! You pretty nailed it, octatrack and rytm are some lonely island synths indeed! Built like tanks

Do you have a bandcamp or something ? Because I love the music you're making

Great video!

Excellent video 👍

100% engaging, i was surprised when 17 minutes was up.

maybe the most nice, intriguing sentence written while presenting an electronic-music stuff: "actually we'll be focusing on why a guitarist (or experimental musician) might want to use the octatrack"

now i need one!

I luv ur videos so ambient

okay i'm convinced
