Overbridge 2.0.53 for macOS Big Sur - Public Beta

Beta Public Beta
#105

I’ve been screwing around trying to actually figure out what’s going on…

in doing so, so far, ive found that…

Pattern: will start at the start of the patterns on your boxes. so if you start on the second bar in the transport, the boxes start looping from the first bar.
SPP: will take transport position into consideration. so if you start on the second bar…all boxes will

no solution on desync after first loop…yet. or a way to auto select mode

A LITTLE WHILE LATER

so I check yer machine…my frame rate was set to 30FPS in the FILE > PROJECT SETTINGS > SYNCHRONIZATION > GENERAL > FRAME RATE settings. I might have done that cuz of animation or perhaps that was default…but remembering that film stuff is 29.97drop frame…and this stuff gets used a fair bit for syncing audio to film…I just tried it. and it doesn’t matter what mode im in, the metronome syncs to the boxes I have synced to Logic.

check your to see what its at. if its not at 29.97d, then give that a whirl. so far my stuff is syncing no matter which mode im in.

remembering that pattern starts at the start, and spp follows transport position.

MORE

its still off a bit. if you dont loop in SPP its fine. but it still shifts off a little. not as tight as Pattern. :frowning:
im actually having success starting to record while in Pattern mode. not sure why.
I wish I could ask the right question, or there was more info on the modes than they provide :confused:

apologies for overload of shit

#106

alright man this is where im at and I think this is it…

Pattern:

  • we know is fine and starts at the start no matter where you are on transport. may have issue recording some tracks when you start

SONG - SPP at Play Start and Stop/SPP/Continue at Cycle Jump

  • this will desync, if you are looping, after the first loop but will maintain position on the transport in all boxes.

SONG - SPP at Play Start and Cycle Jump

  • this will sync even after it loops, starts at the start does not retain transport position

SONG - SPP at Play Start only

  • its the same as the one above, can’t tell what the diff is yet

SO…the last two loop fine and stay in sync. no need to switch back and forth between pattern that I can see yet. and you dont need to mess with FPS.

so I guess if you wanna punch in on the timeline, with looping off…the first song mode is good. but I dont think punch is a thing with non humans :slight_smile:

im tapped out.

I WILL thank you for making me look into this. its been buggingg me for a long time. and I have no idea why I didn’t try to figure out what was going on

Hey, Im running Overbridge 2.0.53 on Mac mini M1, Big sur 11.3.1 with Ableton live 11

I am currently running AR and DT with the most recent firmware updates. I am experiencing slight sync issues. The biggest issue however is that the AR drops out completely after a short while. After restarting the machine Ableton recognizes it again

#108

Thanks for reporting this. The sync issues are known, but I would like to look at why AR is dropping out. Could you please enable logging in Control Panel, and then try and reproduce the issue. Please only use AR so I don’t have to look at unrelated things in the logs. You can send the logs in a private message to me :slight_smile:

It rushes to catch up for about 2 bars here.

Not sure if it’s OB or Reaper 6 that’s the problem.

#110

Sure thing. I made two logs. One with AR, DT and DN running and one with only AR running and dropping out. Not sure how to send them in a private message though :sweat_smile:

  • MacOS 11.3.1
  • Digitakt
  • v 1.21

Transfer works just fine. Overbridge doesn’t see the device. In overbridge control panel, when I set usb config to Overbridge, it appears as a default device, but it states that “This device is currently disconnected from the system. Please connect the USB cable and enable overbridge mode”.
Tried reinstalling with unplugged cable and reboots after each step.

Same with my AR.

Not Mac OS, but I, too, am having more device faults with AH MKII (1.21) on 2.0.53.2, with Win 10.

This time, it happened while attempting to save an INIT state to a save slot via the “save” button.
I will attempt to recreate this, but as others have said, it can be difficult to figure out exactly what does it.

EDIT: Confirmed.
On Win 10, saving a preset by hitting “save…” in the VST, will cause the plugin to freeze.
Eventually, OB Engine will report a fault.
Attempts to reconnect/power-cycle AH will not work; a full reboot is required.

(Feel free to move this to a different thread, if this is meant to be a Mac OS only thread.)

#115

Fresh Install of Big Sur (11.3.1) on a new volume, and Overbridge is not seeing my DN. Works fine on an old Big Sur install that was updated from Catalina, and had previous OB installs.

SOLVED - idiot mistake, see posts below.

wtf, well spotted. Looks like I might have mixed up installers…Thanks for looking out.

Edit: Installed using the correct installer, and all is dandy. Thanks again @garf. Muppet of the year award goes to me…

I’m having some drop out issues with the beta version, everything runs smoothly and then y digitakt just runs on it’s own clock. To fix the issue I have to disable Overbridge and reactivate it sync up again with the computer

#119

DT 1.21
OB 2.0.53.2
Big Sur 11.4 (just turned off automatic updates, my first Mac)

Should I be expecting the ability to multi-track here? VST doesn’t detect my DT, neither does the Engine.

Big dumb. Didn’t allow it in Preferences.

#120

BibSur 11.4 OB doesn’t affect A4.

#121

Hey, first time posting so might’ve been asked already but… Is there a date yet for the full Big Sur compatible Overbridge? Could really do with having the sound card functionality back for the A4 & AH

#122

Welcome to the forum!

Elektron doesn’t pre-announce release dates. They will release it when they are confident that it is running well enough.

#123

Thank you! Thought that may have been the case cheers

#124

yep. Same thing happened to me. Very frustrated with myself for updating my computer but it was also auto.

Overbridge Engine is running. When I turn off the DT, overbridge shows it in red. I turn DT back on and it disappears. VST in logic not playing any sounds or showing as connected when I open it.

#125

I just got an Analog RYTM MKI, and finally got it working to multitrack with Overbridge. I’m on a M1 Mac running the latest OS and all of the latest versions of OB and AR firmware.

I was only able to get it to work in Ableton, but still not working in Logic. I can’t get any of the multitrack plugins to load, and no audio to pass through.
Has anyone gotten this to work correctly in Logic?

Btw, I had a good RTFM moment getting frustrated with why the AR wasn’t working, but then saw I needed to open the Overbridge Control Panel to enable the individual outputs. I not all Elektron boxes require this but thought I would share.
