This template is for Overbridge 2.0.37 and previous only. There were breaking changes in newer Overbridges – not sure exactly when, but this has been superseded by Logic 10.5+ Overbridge 2.0.41 Analog Rytm Template
Are you trying to get Logic Pro X to work with your ARII? I’ve tried some things that didn’t work, and I’ve been trying to pay close attention to the Overbridge warnings (from beta; don’t know if they’re still there now!) when you start up the plugin:
So I’ve made a Logic Pro X template that I hope someone finds useful.
Logic Pro X template
This:
- is created in Logic 10.4.4 (I’m still stuck on Sierra!)
- is tested with Overbridge 2.0.37
-
sends sync to all devices on cycle start only (I have had trouble with the ARII losing sync if more than one start signal is sent, esp: across a cycle jump)no longer does this, because see Important Information about Overbridge 2.0 above – the plugin is supposed to be left alone to do this - has three tracks:
- The Rytm plugin itself (icon included)
- plue two summing stack submixes:
- A bus stack that can be muted or soloed alone; doesn’t record anything, is just for monitoring live
- An audio stack that’s for recording to; has only audio tracks so every track can be armed at the top level
- has sends from every bus track and audio to stock Logic reverb/delay combo Space Designer (on Bus 31) and Delay Designer (on Bus 32) in case you don’t want to use the inbuilt FX – there’s one very good reason you might not want to: if you’re using the Rytm as a sound card, there’s no way of turning off non-overbridge master effects, and the latency on everything else makes things sound ‘out’

Usage
- Unzip the contents of the template to
/Users/<your_user>/Music/Audio Music Apps/Project Templates
- Connect your ARII
- Configure it for Overbridge
- Make sure your Audio Routings are either globally off or off with the kit you’re using
- Fire up a new project based on this template
- Monitor using the Rytm Buss track stack
- Record using the Rytm Audio track stack
- Automate the Rytm Plugin by setting Latch or Touch automation on Rytm Plugin track; as the track plays, move any knobs you like
I’ve put my favourite Multipressor settings on the monitoring/audio busses. You might disagree with any of the plugins, but I’ve tried to stay stock.
