Hey folks, just received my digitone 2, all excited updating firmware and getting ready to place some sweet melodies over my crunchy acid tracks and realise i can’t use it in ableton because they haven’t yet got it working with overbridge. Damn that’s frustrating.
I’m going to try routing the audio into digitakt and sampling to capture.
Any better / alternative workarounds for this?
(hopefully this will get sorted ASAP)
Thanks

So you could stream in via Overbridge THROUGH Digitakt, right? And just use Digitakt’s inputs as an audio interface straight into Ableton. No need to sample.
Really, if you’re recording hardware, an actual audio interface is invaluable and essential for recording. I assume you just have Elektron boxes if you don’t have an interface and Overbridge usually does the job for you? But something like the Motu M2 has midi out, so you could clock via midi from Ableton to DN2, then record straight in.
Good point, yes that works. I use focusrite for all my incoming machines and modular etc, so yep can just create a channel in ableton to receive the audio in.
Do you know if you can assign a track on the elektron boxes to route the audio or is it always global.
Thanks 
In overbridge in your Ableton channel strip, in the inputs section you can choose to stream audio directly from Digitakt’s inputs I think. So it’ll pass through Digitakt’s internal mixer, then into Ableton.
I would advise recording directly in using your interface though. Maybe use Digitakt in Overbridge mode but also midi out cable to DN2 to clock it, then record the DN2 outs into your interface? You’ll probably have a tiny bit of delay so you’ll need to adjust that in Ableton by a few ms so it plays perfectly in time (mine is around 31-39 ms depending on device). Should be pretty solid.
You can record via USB without needing Overbridge.
In the DN2’s USB CONFIG, use USB AUDIO/MIDI, and set DN2 as audio input (1/2) within Live.
To record individual tracks you can either use DN2’s mutes to record separate passes of each track, or you can use the AUDIO ROUTING > TO MAIN page instead.
I’ve got DNII connected to DTII inputs
In the overbridge mixer, I’ve routed the DTII inputs to channel 15.
It will get added at some point, it will be nice when it’s working but this is still very powerful.
Yep, that works, another lovely work around.
