Overbridge 2.0.37: tech discussion

I can add that the A4 is a really early one, got it around first week of 2013. Maybe someone from Elektron can chime in if there’s been any hardware revisions that mitigates something that might be suboptimal in mine…

OB 1 didn’t werk with my A4. So I had dismissed it. Since they started werk in new OB it’s been awesome. On all boxes.

Really no issues except for them polishing out bugs and optimizing. (been helping test)

I’m all up to date, mac Mojave, motu, most of the time using aggregate with Logic. OB has been SOLID.

The issue your having sounds like the input issue. I had it so long ago, perhaps I’m missing a step. Like turn off all, turn on two.
Can’t remember maybe @Olle can add?

Been trying this myself last night, I can drag samples in to the pool (which I’ve imported via transfer) but I can’t drag them out again which is a pain, gotta go back in to the hardware to delete unless someone else knows a trick.

while i can understand your frustration, it might be more helpful, to describe your issue exactly/better to eventually get help from users or elektron…

maybe also report it to elektron via a ticket or another official way. this would be more productive, than hoping someone else will do the work… :wink:

edit: no offense, maybe you already submitted a ticket…

I had it working back in December 2019, with AR-2 and A4-2. So the answer to your question is “yes there is a chance”. I did have some issues installing, but got help from some tips posted on this forum. I should also add the it did seem to have minor stability issues (hard to say whether that was a win7 thing or a beta thing). In any case I upgraded to win10 in Jan 2020 and things have been much smoother - installation painless (I mean OB was painless… the win10 install was a bit of a pain - but still worth it).

There’s a huge topic about hung notes, here:

Ive read most of it and what I’m experiencing is the same.

There’s a response from Elektron in there, saying it’s being “looked into”. That was in January.

See no point in raising another ticket about it.

…same here. :cold_face:

“Problem solved in Windows 10” :upside_down_face:

  1. Shutdown Elektron Rytm MK2
  2. Shutdown Overbridge Engine
  3. De-Install Overbridge and Restart
  4. Install Overbridge and Restart
  5. Start Overbridge Engine
  6. Turn on Elektron Rytm MK2

Thanks for your answer, djx. I have everything working so good in Win 7 right now that I don’t want to suffer the upgrade to Win10 and reinstalling everything :frowning:

But I use Overbridge 1 for A4mkI and ARmkI, and would need Overbridge 2 for Digitakt and Digitone and install latest OS in the analogs (dual VCO for Rytm, midi out, randomize…).

In this moment, working from home, I can’t upgrade to Win10 at the risk of having problems with the platform we use, so I just can try it with Win7 or wait until everything go back to normal.

ok, good that this topic already exists. my point was more about an emotional comment in a tech discussion topic…

maybe more tickets about a specific issue will bring it up higher in priority, but thats just a guess…

I’ve got OB working with my Digitone, but it keeps dropping out. Every 5 mins or so the audio cuts out and I have to turn the Digitone off and on again. Anyone else experiencing this or know how to fix it?

Hello there,

Beforehand, sorry if this has been discussed:

I guess I have installed my A4 mk1 correctly in Reaper. I can create separate tracks with all inputs and also record it. Only when I want to playback the recording and listen through the A4, I don’t get any audio. I do see the meters of my Master in Reaper react. Also I do get audio through (the headphones of) my A4 from, say, Spotify. So something doesn’t seem right.

I hope someone can help :slight_smile:

It seems like i’ve figured out most of it by now. Still struggling a bit with the signal flow. But I’ll get there eventually.

It looks like this Official OB Release didn’t solve my AH mk2 freezing issue. Unfortunately, my AH freezes sometimes. I have to reboot it with the Power button. Never had an issue with the AR mk2, A4 mk2, DT and DN.

Windows 10, Ableton Live 10.

Anyone got tips for AH2 being recognized in the latest Live build and Catalina? ARmki and Digitone function as expected.

You know the more tickets on an issue heightens it’s priority. 1 report puts it as a low level problem. 100 reports means it’s a show stopper and needs to be addressed.

Laziness is not an excuse for not reporting an issue. Don’t hand it off to the devs to guess. They can’t predict what’s wrong on your end.

You took the time to complain and reply to people trying to help. Take that time and fill out a ticket.

Could be user error in the end. In my case…that seems to happen a lot. Don’t automatically assume it’s a fault of the gear.

I occasionally get a hung note, but it’s because of what I’m doing…never seems like a fault. And it’s generally when I stop the sequencer, which doesn’t affect anything. If I double stop it doesn’t happen.

AAAAAnyways. Make a ticket dude. The more info the devs get, good or bad, helps a lot! :wink:

This solved my initial issue,
Thank you very much!

I’m using Bitwig 3 on Windows 10. The VSTs aren’t loading at all. I only see the dll files in the C:\Program Files\Elektron folder.

I copied those dll files to my custom VST folder and even tried pointing Bitwig at the Elektron folder.

What am I missing?

I can run the Rytm app and updated my firmware. It’s working just not via Bitwig.

I can’t get Overbridge to recognize my digitone on my Mac air.
Latest overbridge and digitone firmware.
Mac OS 10.14.6
uninstalled and reinstalled a few times with restarting.
made a support ticket.
