Multi-tracking without computer?

What are the chances we could multitrack Digitakt without computer anytime in the future?
For example, in eurorack world there are modules converting USB-MIDI to CV. What are the chances there will be a device to convert overbridge USB into multiple outs without the fucking computer?

Ideally, I would be thrilled if it would be possible to send separate tracks to L / R and the rest to the headphones output, but I guess I’ll grow old and die before this happens.

There isn’t actually a device to convert overbridge USB into multiple outs with the fucking computer, as Overbridge is not yet available. I guess this doesn’t address your specific issue but this elephant needed to be cleared out of the room.

I know mate. Frustrated as much as the other guy. That’s why I added “in the future”. :slight_smile:

Elektron doesn’t use class compliant Audio-over-USB for Overbridge, but a protocol of their own invention with no published details. So either Elektron releases such a breakout box by their own or it will not legally happen.

And even if they would release such a breakout box depending on the numbers of outs it wouldn’t be cheap either.

Jesus, you making me tear up, mate. Could you sugarcoat it for me or something? Treat me like I’m 5.

Maybe they have an 8 track recorder/mixer device in the making :wink:

We’ve talked about if Elektron would make some awesome mixer/fx/hub for all the other units and hook up by OB, but what about the editor, would it have a big screen?

We’ve talked about this but absolutely nobody but the inner Elektron folks have any idea if they’re even considering it… It’s an Elektronauts fantasy…

Yes an OT mkIII, the real mkII

I’d say it’s super uber highly unlikely considering the OB code is built to interface with computers…
Elektron would basically have to build a computer or rework the entire code, and then is it even OB?
I have zero expectations of such device, but if it happens I’ll be pleasantly surprised…

Much better! Papa bless you! :slight_smile:

In 2019 Elektron will release a hardware Overbridge solution, it will be called ‘oroliga vatten’ :joy:

Spoiler

Use google translate if you don’t speak Swedish!

I know this because I am good friends with a couple of the beta testers.

Edit - Just in case anyone takes this seriously I am joking, British humour.

So far, they’ve done excellent job releasing “zero fucks given” app.

No joking allowed. Everything above the picture has been taken completely seriously.

Well it was due to be released at Superbooth2018 but unfortunately the driver had to be rewritten from scratch, but definitely Feb2019 :rofl:

… and there is also this other black box we had already in the making for so long …

… and the bugfixes for the other machines (which still freezes, sorry dudes) set us back …

… but for sure: February, yes, February confirmed. The same procedure as every year, James!
