Overbridge 2.0.19 Public Beta

Beta Public Beta
#50

Hi all,

I’m a bit of a noob in the area of Midi. I have a question about transport control. My current setup is a Digitakt (sending clock) and Digitone (receiving). The audio is routed to my audio interface and comes into Reaper. A while ago with the help of an Elektronaut I managed to set up the Digitakt with Overbridge so that I have its tracks separately coming into Reaper.

A few days ago I have also installed the Digitone VST, and have been able to also set up its separate tracks in Reaper. However, upon inserting the Digitone vst in Reaper, it has lost its sync with Digitakt. This means that when I press play on the Digitakt, it doesn’t start the Digitone along with it.

I’ve played around in the settings of both machines, but couldn’t get it to work like it did before I installed the Digitone VST. Is transport control lost when using the vsts? I would prefer to be able to press play on Digitakt and have both machines play. If someone can let me know if this is possible, that would be great.

If that’s not the case, am I right in thinking that transport should now be controlled by Reaper? So that pressing play in Reaper would start both machines? In that case I presume I should use a midi cable from my audio interface to my Digitakt and somehow tell Reaper to start the machines when pressing play?

If anyone could give some clarity on this issue that would be great!

edit: just noticed that if I press play on Digitone (not on Digitakt) and then double tap stop on Digitakt, the Digitone stops. It doesn’t stop when I do a single tap. So there is still some kind of sync going on, just not completely. I don’t understand it.

edit2: fixed it by selecting ‘no sync’ in the Digitone vst. Seems like that’s doing the contrary of what it’s supposed to be doing, but it works.

Does it still have the automatic latency compensation thing it runs when you first load it up?

I deleted the public beta and went back to using the ‘closed beta’ version, as the latency compensation that was introduced with the public beta threw everything out of sync for me. To elaborate… I want to use my Interface to send clock to my gear (the A4 being first in the chain), I only want to use Overbridge for modulation and the interface, so when I use it I turn the clock off on OB. Can anyone advise me is this feature still there before I bother updating?

Thanks

Where can we make suggestion about the Beta ?

When I close Ableton, disconnect the Digitakt and whant to make some music later on, the digitakt is no longer detected by the computer.

Elektron Engine says : statut connection Fault ! wright in red.

I have to restart my computer to make it work and it’s very annoying.

I have Windows 10 lastest update and Ableton 10 (but it’s not a DAW issue, even Digitakt pluggin standalone doesn’t work…)

Thanks !

Is restarting the computer the only thing that works? I run into that bug on Mac occasionally and I can fix it by just turning off and on whatever device is showing a fault

Loving this update. No problems with crashing and no glitchy artifacts/drop outs (it still happens if I really push my DAW, but that’s not an OB problem). Digitakt syncs nicely with other gear after fiddling with delay compensation in Ableton. Great stuff.

Running on Mojave.

There seems to be a problem with Mod-Wheel and Pitch Bend events from Cubase:

  • As soon as a Mod-Wheel (CC1) event occurs, the pitch bend is set to Min Value as well (thus, any CC1 is also interpreted as Pitch Bend minimal)
  • As soon as a Pitch Bend event is sent, the Mod-Wheel is set to 0 (thus, any Pitch Bend event is also interpreted as CC1 value 0)

Anybody else seeing this?

#56

Yes it’s the only solution for me. I tried to restart the device, unplug re-plug, turn off elektron engine and restart it but no. I always have to restart my computer.

I noticed there’is a loop in the Elektron Engine soft, status indicate : “measuring, initializing, then fault” and it’s looping.

I’ve just installed the latest Beta

No sound from main and no fx only individual outs Rytm mk1

Windows 10

A post was merged into an existing topic: Overbridge AAX plugins?

In overbridge mode the tempo of my DT has a locked symbol on it.

I intend to send the clock to my DAW

#60

im wondering if this helps the multitrack fx. reverb and delay.
multi tracking always comes out dry.
Im using Cubase 10 artist. I cant really use this feature if the tracks keep recording dry with no fx.

Send the clock from your DAW to the DT, not the other way around.

Anyone using OB with Ableton, do not monitor the track you’re recording, use another track for monitoring. You will then have zero latency via OB.

Are “stuck notes” on Digitone fixed with this one or not? It’s not present in either fixed issues or known issues, even though it’s 100% known by Elektron as they explicitly said in my support ticket.

#66

Thanks for the reply

I’d like the digitakt to control the tempo.

I am new to Elektron. Got my Analog Rytm MKII couple days ago. Installed overbridge. I am on Mac (2018 i9 32GB 2TB SSD macbook pro / AMD Vega 64 eGPU/ Antelope Audio Zen Tour via Thunderbolt / Mojave 10.14.6 / Studio One 4.5)

In Studio One If the sequence play by Rytm it 100% fine but if I use Studio One to sequence the Rytm. Playback is all glitchy and crackle and missing beats. I tried to use maximum buffer size, safe buffer and maximum dropout protection in S1) Still the same.

And while the OB vst is running, Studio One became very very slow, even quite Studio One takes 1 min and usually just instant.

And my laptop and interface been recording 96khz 64 samples without any problem with Overbridge 48kHz 1024 samples still crackle like hell…

That’s not the correct way to do this though, you need to have the DAW in control of the tempo. There is no benefit in having the DT control the tempo.

Hello! I think I found a potential bug in Overbridge when recording from my Digitone to Logic.

When recording instrument channels (3+4, 5+6, 7+8, or 9+10) with delay set on the DN the delay is not fed into Logic, but the rest of the audio is, so you get the non-delayed version when recording specific channels. However if you record the master channels (1+2) the delay is fed into Logic and is recorded OK. Of course recording master includes all of the instruments together.

When using the Digitone with its companion Overbridge app open, the sound comes out of my computer OK with the delay in-tact.

My setup:

  • Overbridge 2.0.19.2 Beta
  • Digitone 1.21
  • macOS X 10.14.6
  • Logic Pro X 10.4.6
  • Late 2016 Macbook Pro
  • Digitone uses its supplied USB cable, runs into an Apple USB-C adapter, into the Mac via USB-C.

Thanks for any help you can offer!
