that’s good to know, was reading a bit and some forumz made it sound like it was a pretty foregone conclusion in terms of parts repairs.
also, im glad your octa survived the fall, thats one of the worst feelings. The person that knocked it over was probably feeling awful and you just have to sort of play it off like its all good at the time to avoid making the situation even worse.
well someone already swooped up the mk1 my friend was selling, found a used mk2 at a pretty good price though so I just copped it. Very excited to finally enter the elektron world.
Yeah I was looking at that website, it’s really fucking handy how they list compatible parts for everything you look at as it makes combining it so much easier!
I’ve read that DIY isn’t quite as cheap as it used to be but there are some websites that sell both parts and built units like Dos Paradise so you can compare to see if it’s worth it https://www.dospara.co.jp/
I work with a guy who used to be in IT and he said find a built model you like and just buy all the same parts individually to save some money lol
if everything is working fine (make sure to test all the buttons and pads, especially the most used ones like play and cue and make sure they aren’t doing anything funky) it seems like an alright deal, I remember when those came out and they aren’t the most reliable devices in terms of build quality but they work well in general.
Its easy to find decent midi mapping presets for it to use with Traktor as well.
