Analogue-sequencer

I just got my Octopus on Friday, and I¹ve spent the last couple of days
alternately in total awe, and stewing in frustration. There is definitely a
learning curve there.

Paul¹s review really captures the experience, I think. Great review. If
anyone is interested, it¹s online, but you have to search for ŒOctopus¹
since the new issue isn¹t up yet. (And you probably need an online
subscription).

Btw ­ in no way is this a replacement for a p3. It is totally different in
approach, and really has nothing like the p3 aux events. I am quite glad
that I have both.

I do agree with one of Paul¹s criticisms, and I wonder whether I¹ll change
my mind after a few weeks of use ­ I can¹t see but that a display along the
top above the matrix would really have made it much easier to work with. But
maybe the lack of a display actually facilitates its use as an instrument
once one is comfortable with its functionality and keystrokes? I can¹t
comment on that yet.
