OK, haven't prepared anything as such but have tinkered with the Octatrack all afternoon, mostly stand-alone this time using the Virus and KP3 to provide sample sources, effects sends, extra looping and resampling etc. All clicking together nicely. Getting a few more ideas on how to improve the Octatrack and speed up workflow but won't bombard them just yet, let's see how the weekend goes.

Have to call in at mum's on the way though, she has a new telly and can't get the ariel connection to work. Will sniff around for some extra leads/adaptors etc. and see what I can do. Will take binocs in case sky clear.
