Hello! I have an Octatrack that I'm trying to sync with my Axoloti patch. I have an axocontrol board that I'm running DIN connectors into from the Octatrack, and I'd like to use my Octatrack as the master clock for the axoloti. What would be the best way to go about doing this?
Axoloti midi and the octatrack

There are a few strategies you can use to use the Axoloti with the Octatrack.
- Program the MIDI on the octatrack, and just send notes to the Axoloti. If you use mono, you can get two synth sounds out of the Axoloti in that way. Just send the MIDI on different channels.
- Program everything in your patch, and sync it to the MIDI clock of the Octatrack. Works fine, but you'll have less control, as the sequencer in the Octatrack is much more advanced. See attached patch.

I have the MIDI Out of the Octatrack running into a midi port of the Axocontrol, and I have the Octatrack set to Midi Channel 1. Edit: The axoloti midi channel is also set to 1. Is it possible the Octatrack somehow isn't set as the Master channel?

Got it working! Had to re-activate the cc direct connect in the midi sequencer option of the project menu. Excellent!!!

hi, i m sorry to put attention on this topic again, but actually i'm trying to use my octatrack with axoloti.
I'm definitely missing something, basically when i send a cc from octatrack to axo ( for instance, cc1 to attack, cc2 to decay etc..) it does respond just to some and definitely not in the order assigned ( i set the cc1 on attack and the decay moove or something else)
I thought the procedure was simply selecting a knob, right click, select midi cc and assign it to 1, 2 etc..
Now i don't get it, i m really sorry i'm just about to start to patch for the very first time.
thanks for everyone that will have the patient and kindness to reply.
bye!

Best thing is to run some sort of MIDI analysis patch first. If you connect the midi/in/cc any object to some display objects, you will be able to see what values are coming in from the octatrack and on what channel. The midi/in/monitor object does the same, but prints all values to the console (on the small window where you connect your Axoloti to the software).
