I'm not sure about the Roli stuff- every time I play one it feels like sticking my fingers into an octopus' vagina.
Not that I know what that is like...

How long is the build?
Dare I ask how much (even a ballpark)?
I've been jamming out with the Piston Honda III Eurorack module today.
Given your synth-sluttery I am surprised I haven't seen you getting into Euro.

You can do things that are simply not possible any other way.

(Well, I say ‘played’.... i bashed it like my fingers were sellotaped together...)
Oops.
Octatrack is such a beast.

First is set up your mixer with anything you might like to route to it on the inputs and then have either record bus/Alt/FX send going to the input of the Octatrack.
That way you can route anything you want to the OT at the press of a button.
It also allows you to send multiple things to it at once.
I tried doing it with a patchbay and it was ok, but a mixer is better, even a little desktop one.
On my mixer I have a bus sending to A/B inputs and and I can patch things not connected to that mixer into the C/D inputs.
Second, have two copies of the manual open when you are learning it.
One for going through methodically and the second for jumping around when the manual says 'refer to page X for function Y'.
That way you won't lose your place.
You really need to approach this methodically, it is unlike any other piece of gear you've ever owned.
Third is to not buy anything else for a while.
OT is a complex beast and you really need to dig down into it.
I bought mine and then had 2 months in temporary accommodation whilst the studio stuff was making its way here.
It was somewhat of a blessing because I mostly concentrated on learning it.
