It has been stated a few times that over bridge will NOT be available with octatrack. Would be nice but it seems a no go… Maybe a mkII someday?

Will there be an Octatrack mk3?

yes there will be. it has no buttons, dials or faders as it is completely voice controlled. no song mode and it doesn’t work with overbridge but it doesn’t need to because it can communicate telepathically and transfer files to and from other gear via osmosis.
