Octabam
firmwaregithub
Octabam is an unofficial community firmware remixer for the Elektron Octatrack MKI and MKII. Developed by Sam Banks with community contributions, it combines selected modules into a custom operating-system image built from the owner’s copy of Elektron OS 1.40C. The repository’s own code is MIT licensed; it does not distribute Elektron firmware or prebuilt images. Depending on the chosen remix, modules add custom delay, reverb, modulation and filter effects, synthesis, sequencer changes, expanded kit and scene workflows, USB audio and MIDI, and bug fixes. Users can select an existing remix or compose their own combination. Module validation and hardware testing vary; the project documents those limits individually, along with build, installation and recovery instructions.
