Anyone else using Mk1 AR and AK successfully together via Overbridge?
I had AR,A4,DNII and AH all working fine for months apart for a few audio glitches from time to time, but after adding the AK to the mix, either the AK or AR produce no sound when using Overbridge.
Overbridge engine reports all units connected and working, although sometimes it will not connect to one or the other. It really seems random, sometimes the AR outputs sound and vice versa.
Might Overhub make a difference here?
At this point, I’m really contemplating adding a multi input audio interface plus a midiclock and ditching Overbridge for good…
Can confirm it works: A4, AR & Heat, all MK1. Theyre on a usb-c-hub, no overhub. Try all devices on by one to have them recognized by overbridge, maybe check ob-version vs unit-os versions.
I doubt that the MTT hub will change anything but it’s not a bad idea to have one so I would say that it’s not wasted money to buy one, but that I would not expect a MTT technology overhub to fix the issue when everything else was working previously and now only the two mk1 devices are in conflict. I don’t think it will have anywhere near that kind of impact on your setup.
Try changing one of the two mk1 devices out of Overbridge mode and into USB midi / audio mode, then route that one as an audio device to a stereo track in your DAW and see if you get audio from the one which is still hooked up to OB and test to see if the stereo track audio where you’ve set one of the two as an audio device straight to the track is also able to successfully record.
Even if it works or doesn’t work, I’d try it in the opposite configuration. If you started with the AR connected to OB and the AK piped to an audio track, try reversing this. Change the menu setting on the device back to overbridge mode and switch the other one to USB midi / audio and do the same test, i.e. does the device still connected to overbridge generate audio? Does the one connected to a stereo track without overbridge generate audio?
If it still does not work in either scenario, then the problem extends beyond overbridge and I’d contact elektron support. Depending on your computer type, software and firmware versions, they may instruct you to uninstall some things and reinstall some things, but the more information you can provide them, the more likely it is that they will have a solution.
If you suddenly get audio from one or the other when only that one is connected to overbridge and you also get audio to the stereo track, then I’d say re5et is probably correct and maybe you reached a limitation with OB but you’d at least have an alternative which is recording 1 of them to a stereo track if you needed to.
Either way I’d probably send a message to elektron support describing the issue and tell them what your computer and operating system are, just to see if there’s something which we’re missing that is apparent to them.
