Hi

New user here. Is it possible to save the octave setting when writing to a preset?
Thanks

No, the octave setting is a global parameter that won't be saved with each patch. If you want to save altered octave settings I would recommend doing so via the oscillators' frequency parameters.

Thanks Paul, great workaround and it's already done. Thanks for the quick reply

I'm not sure that this workaround will hold good for filter tracking settings.

Why shouldn't it?

Well this is more gut feel than definite fact, but here goes:
The filter tracking driven from the combination of octave switching and key pressed.
The Oscillator tracking is driven by octave switching + key pressed + osc frequency.
So if you don't adjust the filter cutoff there is an extra step in the oscillator chain.
If you change the octave of the oscillators using only the osc frequency controls, the filters will still be tracking at the setting of the octave switch. Whereas if you change octaves with the octave switch both the oscillators and the filter will change their tracking.
