  • The Octopus is a pure Midi Sequencer to control external music gear via 32 Midi channels.

    The company Genoqs that built this system do not longer exist.Therefore you must look on the market to get a used one (very rare).

  • This is a great video Sir. To be honest, your capabilities of spontaneous interaction with the sequencer are outstanding. The best of this sequencer, is that you have 16 steps for EACH track on board, with physical components, and individual visualization for each one of them. This is missing on most of the "grooveboxes" sequencer. You have 16 triggers, for all the tracks, and you need to switch track in order to input MIDI info. Here, you have all the channels simultaneously.

  • Thank you I like the machine.....:)

  • very nice, the reverse play is awesome for improv. does this have a song mode to jump patterns? are there midi fx like an arp or randomization? thanks.

  • The Octopus has a Song Mode in the way that you can jump from one Page (with 10 Tracks) after playing n times to the next Page in the horizontal Page Line in Grid Mode and so on. But it has no free jumping cross the whole Matrix.

    Some Midi FX are in place and also randomizing.

  • ok I'm really sorry if this is a stupid question, but I am interested in buying one of these..

    can you load up all your own samples into the device?

  • @ozzlanda go the soundcloud and search for dayflight.

  • It is awesome, yes, but remember that it is nothing more than a very advanced MIDI sequencer, so it doesn't produce any sound by itself, merely note and value messages, which it then sends to any compatible machine - in this case, a Virus TI synthesizer.

  • you are absolutly right, I definitly apologize for this very stupid communication from my side.

    jens
