Be careful, this won’t work in Ableton. It has a limit for max. 15 individual audio tracks over USB.

Actually I hear it’s per device. So 15 per Elektron 2 boxes.

And being able to solo a track, presumably?
Which I still can’t believe isn’t possible on the DN2.
(Yes folks, I know you can achieve “solo” by muting all the other tracks but that’s fucking tedious)
Is your external midi clock stable on DN2? I am seeing consistent drift around 0.5bpm synced from Ableton 12. It used to be constant with DN1 for me, but I have upgraded my PC and Live version too after owning it so this might be the culprit aswell(?)
Would you mind explaining this a little more?
Is that 15 tracks in total if you own 2 Elektron Devices, or 15 tracks per device? Can you still choose to stream the main output, etc.
Sorry if this has been mentioned a lot and I missed it. This is the first I’ve seen of that limitation in Ableton.

The limit affects all plugins within Ableton. If you open OB for example for the DN you will have a maximum of 15 tracks, if you open another OB session for the DT you will have another 15, etc. To have all 16 you should set your Elektron box as the audio card in the Ableton settings.
@moredat I use Ableton as a master clock associated with a midi card and I have always had a bit of misalignment on the Elektrons and also on the other instruments. To solve this I set the delay compensation relative to the output of my midi card in the Ableton settings. In the midi settings click the triangle next to the output that must receive the clock, in your case the DN, a small menu opens where you can set the delay. In my case values between -60 and -70ms work well

I don’t think this is an issue with Ableton; this is an Overbridge issue.
It’s an Ableton limitation.

It is (an Ableton limitation).

Ableton can handle recording unlimited tracks ata time, depending on your system and audio interface.
Maybe you have Live Lite or Standard? They do have track limits. Otherwise, this is definitely an Overbridge issue.
Thank you but my problem relates to “midi jitter” rather than latency. I am syncing using usb to keystep and midi from there. Might need to try using my audio interface’s midi.

Lol, do some research on multi track recording in Ableton. This is an issue with the software layer between your Elektron device and Ableton (Overbridge).
I have Ableton suite and we are not talking about the tracks that you can open in Ableton but about the individual outputs available for the plugins that you open in Ableton, the limit is Ableton and only concerns the plugins

The Overbridge plugins…
You can get 16 outs with other plugins, like Maschine. I haven’t tried MPC, but I would assume.
This is interesting, I have the mpc but not maschine and I have never opened all these tracks at the same time, I will try
