Digitone (Overbridge) Ableton Live 11 ALS

Hi there,
I’ve struggled for a while to find the right way to record my DN into Live. It should work fine with any other Elektron device I guess. I’ve built an ALS file that seems to work as intended :

  • I can use my DN through OB, as an additional audio interface
  • I can record separate audio channels
  • I can record and playback separate MIDI channels, which was a pain to figure out (but maybe I’m dumb)
    Though I used an unorthodox method, which is not documented in the OB manual :
  • I’m using the VST plugin, not the AU version
  • I had to tick the DN MIDI In and Out in the pref panel (in order to get my MIDI channels, the manual says to disable those options when using OB)
  • on the DN, I had to set the Output Ch on Trk Ch mode (Settings > Midi Config > Port Config > Output Ch > Trk Ch)
    So far it works without issue, but feel free to comment this approach and share a simpler one. I don’t know if I missed something in the manual or if there’s a bug inside Live 11, but I thinks it’s pretty complicated to record both audio (quite easy) and MIDI under Live. It’s easier under Logic, for som reason.
