Octacosm 0.5.1

This is the official post for the Octacosm release for the Elektron Octatrack MK1/MK2. The Octacosm is a project package intended to turn your Octatrack into a powerful "guitar-style stomp box" inspired by the Hologram Microcosm and the Mood MK2, both of which are amazing delay/reverb/granular pedals.

- This is a dual stereo effect. You can run two stereo instruments using Stereo 1: A/B and Stereo 2: C/D inputs. Be sure that tracks 1-4 are CUED. They will be blinking if they are CUED. To cue a track press CUE + Track.

- The sequencer MUST be running to get granular effects. The TEMPO should be treated as a TIME parameter on a delay pedal, start with very low tempos/time, they have the best sounding granular effects.

In the project's early state, you will find only one pattern and one part with a total of 16 Scenes to play with. This is a very early release, but it's a ton of fun to mess with. Expect me to finish the project with a total of 64 presets and many different sound profiles, including a dirty sound bank, a tape-style repitching bank, and a glitch bank. The first bank you get to mess with is "Crystal," a classic delay/reverb/granular effects spectacle. Enjoy!

Part 1 (Crystal) Scenes 1-16 are currently unnamed but will be named after different crystals. <3
