I bought the Octatrack because it's the ultimate sample manipulation monster - I was not disappointed! It's an amazing box and I've taken meticulous care of this one. I'll miss it, but I'm learning PureData now and I don't have the mental energy to tackle the complexities of both. ;)Firmware up to date, I believe. Comes with box, manual original power supply, manual and a 16GB Compact Flash card. I'll leave whatever data is on there - the collection of samples I was using isn't huge, but there's some cool stuff in there.
