Issues with Overbridge Logic Template

Today, I made a template on logic integrating overbridge with my sound card. Overbridge/logic sends messages and clock to my Digitakt, which then sends further clock & start/stop messages to the rest of my gear, which all goes into a mixer and then my sound card and then logic. When I first make the template, it works perfectly-- every overbridge/digitakt track plays evenly and smooth and my soundcard track is actually timed quite well from the Digitakt clock (which is receiving clock from logic). The issues arise when I save the template and reload it – the Digitakt takes almost 1 minute to properly register the clock/transport messages from overbridge/logic and for whatever reason every single track is virtually silent except one Digitakt track (it is always random which one) and the soundcard track. I know that overbridge tracks generally run quiet but that is not the issue, as they were running at a fine level before I reloaded the template. I’ve tinkered with buffer size, updating and redownloading every relevant software, emptying caches, restoring settings, etc. I’m at my wit’s end. Can anyone please help me with this?

If this helps at all, I have had a problem with Logic setting all tracks to 1 velocity on Syntakt over OB - seems completely random, it’s Cleary barfing out some sort of mid data It’s not supposed to that does this. Check your velocities and see if that’s what’s up.

I’ve had the same Syntakt velocity issue with and without Overbridge. Reloading the project fixes it, but why should we have to fix this at all?

Tonight, I’ll try disabling all MIDI data but clock. The other thing I could do is program correct velocities for all of the Syntakt MIDI channels and loop those velocity tracks to occur at the top of every measure.

@Scrypt & @Malice_Soaker y’all were right it was the velocity! So random that this happens. @Scrypt lmk how that goes for you – obviously super annoying to have to manually fix the velocity everytime.

This has been covered several times in the forum: PSA: Logic Pro midi reset commands set velocity globally to 0 on digitone II
