Release notes say Overbridge support for streaming to Daw/computer. No plugin shows up in the Daw for Digitone II so not sure how to use it. Anyone know?
Thanks.
Jim
dig into all the other overbridge explanations for digitone , digitakt etc etc , theyre all the same…digitakt 2 is probably closest due to the amount of audio channels (ableton cant do all of them atm … it stops at 16)
the standalone plugin hasnt been released , theyve only enabled overbridge streaming…
ensure you put usb mode into overbridge mode too.
if you post which daw you are using you’ll get lots of help on here if you cant figure it out… many people have been through the same thing.
Thanks! I forgot to change the audio interface on the DAW, when I did it showed (42 in and 8 out) for Digitone II. Thanks.

Is there a big performance difference between enabling all of the I/O vs only what you need?
Maybe an Ableton Live on Mac specific question
I don’t know yet I have not tried it yet.

Hi everyone, I have updated my Digitone 2 to the latest update (1.10) and also Overbridge to 2.18.5 as I am eager to use Overbridge via Ableton 10 (I have the latest update for this also). However, whilst I have updated Overbridge, Digitone 2 does not show up as a VST in Ableton. I checked the VST 3 folder and for some reason the VST3 file for Digitone 2 is not in there, despite the update. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the new Overbridge and it still doesn’t show up in the vst folder. My Digitakt and Syntakt works fine in Ableton and they are both in the folder post Overbridge update. I’m running Windows 10 Pro. I’m really struggling with this and would really appreciate your help in resolving the issue. Thanks.
That’s because they haven’t released the Overbridge Digitone 2 plugin yet. I think Elektron created some false expectations using the term Overbridge in the marketing for the new update. I too thought we’d be able to stream all the tracks into the DAW without having to use the Digitone as an audio interface. But it seems like that will not be possible until they finish the plugin, which is in beta testing now. So until then, I believe the only option is to set the Digitone as your audio interface in Ableton or aggregate your interfaces somehow.
Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

On Windows, if you want to use your sound card in your DAW and also stream via Overbridge you need some sort of ASIO aggregation software (I think it’s easier on Mac?). I use Inject, which is usually stable with Overbridge but less stable with other ASIO devices.

Thanks, if correct, this explains everything 
I have an Ableton template set up with DNII as my interface with a separate audio track for each DNII track, but each track is coming through as mono despite me setting up the stereo pairs in Ableton’s I/O setup. Ie the Pan setting on the Amp page doesn’t do anything.
Does anyone know if this is expected? I could be wrong but I remember using the separate plugin outputs in the OB plugin for other elektron’s and getting a stereo feed for each track.
I haven’t tried this pseudo overbridge yet but as far as I know it’s normal that you can’t set the pan from the DN, you can do it on Ableton. Are you sure the tracks are mono? When you play a track on Ableton do you see the level rise with a single green bar?
The Ableton tracks are stereo, the audio coming from the DNII is mono (ie both L and R channels are the identical).
So, if I want to record an existing pattern from my DNII, I’ll have to repan everything in Ableton.
I’ll have to pull out my DTII and double-check, but I remember the separate outs from the OB plug-in being stereo and pan settings therefore being retained.
EDIT: OOO, I figured it out! I must have accidentally changed the “Pre/Post Fader” setting in Audio Routing to Pre. I think this passes the audio before the pan/level settings on the AMP page. I changed it back to Post and am now it is working as expected

Probably something dumb, but I’ve been trying to figure out why I have no sound coming out in Ableton for hours now, here’s my setting:
Anyone has an idea why I’m not getting anything?
I can see all the inputs listed on ableton but they all dead silent…
That looks correct to me. If you change your output device in Ableton to also be DNII, does that change anything? It shouldn’t, but I was curious if having a separate Out device might be messing up something with the Elektron driver.
Is the overbridge engine hardwired to 48k now? I usually do all my projects in 44k and if i remember correctly this wasn’t a problem with overbridge an DN1. Does anyone have an insight? Or am I mistaken and remember it incorrectly?
Hey All,
I updated my Logic Elektron recording template to allow for recording of individual tracks from the Digitone II. It uses external instrument tracks.
You will need to select the DN2 as your audio interface for inputs in the audio preferences.
If you interested, here’s a URL: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/da3uzolidmczdb4x094l8/2025_elekton_rec_start.logicx.zip?rlkey=w2mjtn6n9jyvpz3i2z4r2sqam&st=tho41yve&dl=0

Just want to clarify multitrack audio over usb usage:
As of right now (v1.10) Digitone II must be used in “audio interface” mode to achieve this?
(I guess I could go through the hoops of making an aggregate device of sorts on Windows… otherwise, gotta say, completely useless for my purposes).
Is it expected that once the overbridge plugin is released for DNII that you’ll be able to achieve multi-out via USB without running the DNII is audio interface mode?
Thanks!
EDIT:
My dream usage would be sending multi-out via USB on, say, ~8 tracks into Bitwig or Reaper (while still using my primary audio interface), and using the other 8 tracks for MIDI (p-locking VST effects/etc on the DNII tracks)

This might help get your dreams part way there, at least until the DN2 plugin arrives…
https://sonobus.net/
Free… And it just works. Latency is not so bad either.
I haven’t tested streaming all 42? DN2 channels simultaneously into Bitwig yet, but the functionality is available.
To get started, install standalone and VST versions. Launch the standalone, select your DN2 ASIO driver in settings. Enable all inputs.
Then create a connection with group name and your display name
(Important! Connection server must be set as “localhost:10999” if you run Sonobus while disconnected from the internet), then click connect to group.
Click input mixer to select your desired input channels.
Rinse and repeat (minus ASIO setup) for VST plugin in your host.
(input mixer setting also not required unless sending audio back to the standalone instance)
Do whatever you do in your host to expose/route the multi out VST and have fun!
Oh yea, you will need to set up your preferred audio send quality in settings

Thanks for that, @NRain !
You helped push me over the edge, I ordered a Digitone II yesterday. 
Let’s see if this is the Elektron box that sticks for me! (I’ve had and sold the DT1/DN1/Syntakt previously)

Will try and take a look at this! In my initial try with audio tracks in logic, i couldnt silence the master output so i juat hear the individual outs. Am i doing anything wrong?
Also with a mac i can setup an aggregate audio device. Will that allow me to hear the digitone 2 overbridge outs through my arturia audio rig as master?
