My Analog Keys has a very strange name in OS X

Try a support ticket. Do you tried to uninstall / reinstall overbridge ?
Reboot ?

Hello, same situation , just bought and updated A4 ,

Yeah, I will do that. I did a factory reset and reinstalled 1.24 with no change. Thanks for your input!

Ok, I’m not alone then. :slight_smile: I have no other problems so I’m happy anyway, but I will create a support ticket.

Update: Filed a support ticket earlier and got an answer just now. It is a known but pretty rare bug. It doesn’t affect the function of the synth but Elektron is (of course) working to solve it.

Hi, same situation here :confused: but happy to know that elektron is trying to solve :slight_smile:

I’m adding my voice to this cry for help :slight_smile:

Same issue on MacBook Pro 2015, OSX Sierra

+1 same problem here!

Same problem
Macbook pro 2015 Mac os X El Capitan
Overbridge 1.15.0
AK 1.24

LoL, doesn’t look like it tho :smile:

I’ve just received my Analog Four today and I have the same problem using OS X. It doesn’t seem to be a problem, but would appreciate a fix. I’ve also updated to 1.24 (arrived with 1.23).

I don’t think it’s an actual performance issue, just a usb descriptor error. From the looks of the screenshots is happening mostly to non English setups? I’m sure they’ll fix it but really I wouldn’t worry about it…

I, too, have this happening. Nothing functionally wrong but it is annoying.

I have the same problem…it’s funny… :slight_smile:

Try add new configuration in Audio/midi setup and thew will be show OK. :slight_smile:

Had this issue too. Have followed @mattyB’s advice and seems to be showing up ok now on MIDI side of things, including in Ableton Live. It does not seem to be any different for A4 as an audio devices though. I guess it’s not as straightforward to change that?

FYI my set up is UK English.

Similar problem with A4, shows up in Cubase 9 as;

“”""""""""""""""""’’’…""""Elektron MIDI

Has anyone figured out how to rename the device?

I now have 2 Analog Four mk1s, both with the long device name. It’s not just macOS but Windows too. Using the C6 application the device shows the strange name, at least on Windows.

One of my Analog Fours came direct from Elektron, the other 2nd-hand. Both have been used on macOS, if that made any difference. I assume the name is hard-coded somewhere though. Would be nice to be able to change it, or at least have it show up as “Analog Four”.

Well, this seems to be easily resolved by renaming the device in Overbridge. The name must be assigned to the hardware as I have renamed the device in Windows and then plugged it in to a Mac and seen the name I assigned, instead of the odd characters that were used by default.

I had to remove the old setup but then it showed up nicely! :slight_smile: Strange, anyway.
