I use OSX 10.11.6 with OB 2.0.24. Works ok. Just search the ob beta forum to download it.

Ćh nope. ThatĀ“s OB 2.0.30 I had to go back V2.0.24 because my machines were just not recognized. HereĀ“s the link again:
My analog rytm mk2 is still unoperational with this update. Overbridge engine still comes up with āfaultā 2 minutes after connecting the device. Extremely unhappy with this, i have projects on there i need to track into ableton for a new EP, and now i canāt do that. Running 1.50 on Rytm. There are no additional details as to what the āfaultā is or how to remedy it. Tried all the current hot fixes on the forum such as rearranging usb cables and reinstalling updates. Very tired of all this. Should i return the unit?
ahhh ok, i shouldve scrolled up to read some more myself 
It is very possible that there is a fault with your setup and not with the software or device, but it could be a software bug of course, beta software etc. Can you describe your setup in detail? Have you submitted a report?

Can someone at Elektron please explain why such a limitation was imposed with Overbridge? It was never the case before and it wasnāt the case with the closed beta. I just donāt understand why you would make it like this, it makes Overbridge unusable in my setup (Iāve no interest in using it for audio streaming or sequencing), really anti-climactic given how long weāve waited for OB, Iāve been submitting tickets for over 6 months trying to get an explanation. The infuriating thing is it doesnāt have to be this way as it wasnāt before but Elektron have decided it was a good idea to impose this auto latency compensation thing every time OB opens.
Please re-think this, many people have their Elektron hooked up to audio interfaces and outboard mixers and have no need for OB streaming but would like to make use of the UI without having all their other hardware thrown out of sync.

Does not work on Analog Four MK1 Sierra
For what itās worth, I just set up a new clean dual-boot Catalina volume on my Mac Pro. Neither my Rytm Mk1 nor my AK are recognised, after install of this PB version. Mojave - all is (relatively) fine.
I guess that the only way to have param-locks in that scenario, is essentially to use velocity? The old-school way of doing it - used to do that back in the 90s.
I donāt follow, what do parameter locks have to do with it?
There was no issue with parameter locks when they had the closed beta or Overbridge 1.0. You could simply open OB turn off clock and transport, then use your DAW as usual with your audio interface syncing and clocking all your hardware as usual but take advantage of the Overbridge UI. You could also choose whether or not to stream the audio from Overbridge or just use the audio from your interface. For some reason it was decided that you canāt do this anymore (because everyone using it only uses Elektron machines anyway and is happy with OBās average audio quality? Or something? I donāt know, the mind boggles. Given that Iāve been trying to get an answer to this for about a year now Iām guessing Iāll never know).
P-locks pretty-much depend on events in the Elektron sequencers. If weāre being told that we should sequence from the host DAW, then we lose a lot of the p-lock functionality.
Will have to give up trying to use OB 2030 in a session. Plagued by hanging notes on my DN, canāt record audio properly (donāt understand effects routing - recorded audio loses onboard effects). Going back to old-skool audio in and recording separate audio tracks and muting on the DN.
Sighā¦

The effects are just like using outboard gear with a mixer, they are send effects so you can send whichever tracks to them youād like. Thatās why the recorded audio loses the effects. Just like with outboard, you have to either track each layer of audio individually to have for example a dry track and separate 100% wet tracks for reverb, delay, etc containing only that instrument, or track in a bunch of layers simultaneously but your 100% wet reverb track from your rack verb of whatever will contain all the instruments you sent to that effect. Know what Iām saying? I understand your frustration though, the effects are totally integrated with the engine and losing them makes the whole Overbridge proposition much less enticing.
ARmk2 connected via usb to a desktop PC (meets requirements for overbridge), also using a Presonus Audiobox 22VSL as my soundcard with VSL disabled. MIDI input disabled on the Rytm. Iām using ableton 9 live standard as my daw and the 64bit VST. Sometimes overbridge engine will not come up with the āfaultā message but the VST will then not be able to find the Rytm despite it being displayed as āactiveā on engine. One thing i havenāt tried yet is the 32bit vst, so iāll give that a go today.
Hope this detail helps!
Thereās something about the OB workflow that feels off - overly complex - that reduces the benefits of separate audio ins. Using a midi controller just isnāt smooth, muting in the mixer doesnāt work (probably because of routing) and the hanging notes made it pretty much impossible to record audio or playback midi. Itās disappointing because I really wanted it to work - but this is late-stage beta and it feels far from sorted. There are probably configurations Iāve got wrong, but it felt like a fight. Back to my old workflow of separate audio in via audio interface and usb-midi and immediately everything just works.
Not sure what else to say.
Sure, I wasnāt really responding to those complaints, have no idea what your config is etc, just wanted to explain to you the effect architecture since you were confused by it and why the effects arenāt included with each track. Even without OB though, havenāt you noticed that sending multiple tracks to the delay and then modifying delay params results in all delayed sounds affected from all tracks with delay? There is only one. Iām assuming you read the manual, where the entire system architecture is laid out in a diagram. Itās easy to understand, in the audio voices diagram you are seeing a single voice of the Digitone and how it can be sent to each effect āunit.ā I screen-capped it for you:
Question for you, have you completely read through the Overbridge 2 manual in an attempt to troubleshoot / make sure you have everything configured correctly?
Thanks for the run down on the DN effects signal path. Understood. TBH the fact that the effects are a send common to all tracks is as expected and I havenāt come up against any limitations. But the OB implementation seems less intuitive - to me at least. Yes, Iāve read the manual (thereās bits missing for the DN) and thought Iād grasped it. Obviously not. Will do my homework and maybe try again when the next beta comes out - the hanging notes issue isnāt my misunderstanding - and Iāll report this to Elektronās beta admin. Hopefully theyāll sort it out.
Thanks for all your help - much appreciated 
Another update and once again time of my life wasted for overbridge. Wonāt recognize any devices after updating - Iām just so tired of it. I think I had it with Elektron and its time to say goodbye
Iām being plagued by hanging notes on the DN with OB 2.0.30. Even a simple 4 to the floor with plenty of space between the midi notes in Ableton Live 9 Suite will cause some of the kicks to play infinitely. Does anyone know of a previous version of OB that doesnāt cause hanging notes with the DN?
