Overbridge 2.0.30 Public Beta

@digitalgeist since you’re on Catalina with OB and DN, do you see any of the issues I report here?: https://www.elektronauts.com/t/overbridge-2-0-30-public-beta/114711/171?u=jaybee6244

back to 2.0.24 as A4 MK1 not recognized. also unable to use overbridge in ableton and
an external midi keyboard on auto channel to play the active channel on the A4.
reverted to L/R out to desk and midi in from keyboard and all was well.strange.

Just a small thing…the text of the download links in the very first post are linking to newer versions. 1.3 for Digitone e.g. or 1.5 for A4 mk2. Just in case, someone wonders…

Installing 1.3 for Digitone now, and testing the new overbridge version with it in Bitwig 3.1.1…

What OS are you using? I have no issues with A4 MK1. but i did have issues getting it to be recognized after first 2.0.30 installation, as mentioned up here.

1.3 for Digitone?

I tried this and it downloads 1.21 for Digitone. Did Digitakt have a newer OS that downloaded from the top post as well? Very curious what updates we will be getting! Any idea what the changes in 1.3 for DN are?

Just been using the latest Overbridge for the first time with my A4 MK2 for a few hours with no problems at all on OS Catalina. Worked fine in Live 10 Suite will try in Logic X tomorrow.

I just found out…the zip archive is named 1.3, but yes it contains only the full 1.21. So, i am sorry…no 1.3. not now.
But the good news…the new overbridge version and Bitwig 3.1.1. works just fine together! At least on my iMac 2017, with MacOS 10.13.6.

Sorry, it seems, the archive is just named 1.3. Inside was only 1.21.

I upgraded to OB 2.0.30, boy do I regret it. I am running OS10.13.6 and now OB does not see the DT. I have trashed and reloaded OB 2.0.30 and previous editions several times since and no joy.
Followed the manual, just noticed that the prompt as in step 4 never shows up. Any suggestions?
If this ain’t fixed soon, the DT could be flying out the window without a seatbelt…Grrrrrr.

  1. Download and install Overbridge
  2. Restart the computer, and then open System Preferences (from Apple menu at top left corner of display).
  3. Click Security & Privacy in the System Preferences window.
  4. Click Allow on the “Ploytec Gmbh” entry (at lower right of General pane) within 30 minutes of the Overbridge installation.

running 10.13.6, OB 2.0.30 beta and DT 1.11 here – works fine for me.

step 4 (Ploytec Gmbh allow) is only needed upon the first installation of OB.
it won’t appear if you’ve updated the OB install from a previous 2.0 version.
is the DT’s system/usb config set to Overbridge?

Elektron_Overbridge_2.0.30.3_Beta.dmg includes the full installer. The “(Full)” in the other installers filename is a leftover from before when we only released parts of the full OB suite in the beginning of the beta program.

I completely deinstalled the older Overbridge, before i installed OB 2.0.30. Did you do that also?
It works fine for me too with DT and 1.11. I am on MacOS 10.13.6 too.

Kinda hard to believe there’s such basic issues still like devices not being seen

I don’t think it’s hard to believe that people might not have them configured properly. It would surprise me if the majority of those reports couldn’t be resolved easily though.

Is there a way to handle the output of the 10 channels of DT and DN? Even, if I max out the output volume for each channel, what I record in Ableton is very very quiet and needs a boost on every track :frowning:

My signal (maxed output, no low velocity or something else) vs. a loop out of the ableton samples folder.

Is it as low using the recording feature in the DT/ DN software?

I’ve been struggling with this as well. Scouring this forum has led me to understand that the DT and DN record quiet to have enough headroom in case you decide to crank the overdrive and/or compressor. Lots of back-and-forth about it here but I haven’t found a solution just yet and I feel my recordings are still a little quieter than they should be.

3 days using the beta so far with my A4 MKII on OS Catalina and all looks well tested in the latest Ableton Live Suite. :+1:
