MacOS Catalina, setting up overbridge

I couldn’t get it to run either. For me it is the USB driver, that is not loaded automatically.

What you can do to check:

Open your Terminal:
type in:

kextstat | grep elektron

If you get something like the following, I am sorry, then you have a different problem. You can stop here.

210 0 0xffffff7f85c0a000 0x5c000 0x5c000 se.elektron.overbridge.driver (3.4.7) 1ACFBF21-FC10-3B8C-812F-C38A65F4EB84 <21 6 5 3 1>

If there is nothing shown after that command, we need to check, if the driver is there:

cd /Library/Extensions
ls -la | grep “Elektron”

If there is nothing listed, you need to install the drivers correctly.
If you have something like the following: Good, we are nearly there:

drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 96 11 Dez 16:38 ElektronOverbridge.kext

Now you need to load the driver manually

sudo kextload /Library/Extensions/ElektronOverbridge.kext

You will be asked for the Administrator-Password. Type it in and the Driver should load.

After that, connect your Elektron Device to your Mac and you should see the device listed and ready to use.

I have to do this every time I start my computer. If anyone has an idea how to automate this, please help :wink:
