You use two USB cables and two instances of Overbridge.

Dave Mechās workflow looks interesting, using the xone mixer which has a looping function, useful for live performances
thanks! I have been only doubting, if they can run together at a time in Ableton
One of the great things about Overbridge is that it completely frees up the inputs of your audio interface for other synths. The Elektron boxes donāt need the jack outputs connected at all, only via USB.

Just buy an octatrack now. This shit is addicting.

each with one usb cable. overbridge has plugins for both and can handle both at once.

This is amazing! Never thought it will be so simple =)) Thanks bud!
Donāt have that amount of money now =(
if you have DN+DT it is nice to have a OT. I am using that setup. But to be honest. It gets convoluted. Personally I cannot handle more than two devices anyways. It is a nice mixer though ā too pricey for only that purpose maybe.
Only DN+DT and be able use a DAW is priceless for arranging or adding FX. I might add some cheap/tiny mixer though (like the ROLLS) to incorperate more synths which would then go into the DN.
I have DN as master. Then DN main out left into DT left in. Then DT left out into into DN left in.
That way, I can resample DT via DN master fx. I can resample from Daw into DN and I can resample DT straight into via its master fx or not. Then when Iām using Daw it all still works and everything goes through OB. I use the headphone out with a split cable or just cans.
I do wish DT had input similar to DN.
Currently I have stereo outs from DT -> DN, which is nice for the effects etc.
It would be nice to be able to do DN->DT instead though and use the compressor, then use the DN inputs for 2 mono synths!
2 synths, DT+DN, completely dawless, no mixer required. Would be great!
Yeah that compressor isnāt too bad. At the same time itās a good excuse to buy an OTO Boum.
Yes, worst design decision ever made. I still
hope it can be fixed with a new FW
Wait so u cannot side chain DN -> DT in master mixer?
Sorry to necro this older thread, but I am searching for answers to this similar questionā¦
I am trying to get my ālive setupā going and right now its just a synth and a Model:Cycles.
I have neither Digitakt or Digitone but I was looking at getting Digitakt when I realized you can route audio through it like a mixer.
Now Iām thinking I can replace the Cycles with the Digitakt and route my synth through it to use it like a combo of drum machine and mixer for live performance.
However Iām a bit confused from reading stuff online, would the Digitone be better as a mixer, or are they equal? Thanks.
They are roughly equal in that regard. Main difference is with Digitone you can add Chorus and itās master overdrive to your other synth coming in, and with Digitakt you can run your other synth through the master compressor. Otherwise, both can do 1 stereo or 2 mono inputs with volume and pan, and you can use the delay and reverb sends on them as well.
I do this with Digitakt and itās great!
Edit: Added last bit of info from @your_lamp for easy reference later.

Perfect, thanks.
One small addition to @chr1sdangerās nice explanation here ā the Digitone also lets you apply its Master Overdrive to the incoming audio.

Just my 2 cents, DT+DN (or whatever else) serial connection combo is more elegant in its utilitarian form, but parallel routing through a mixer gives you more hands-on control to create cross-fades between units and make EQ tweaks on the fly without any menu diving. You can also try independent external effect loops with mixer, great for live performance.
