Overbridge for macOS Big Sur is finally here! Please note that this is a public beta, as opposed to a stable release. It includes a brand new driver (a complete re-write!) based on Apple’s new driver architecture DriverKit, which is necessary for macOS 11.0 and later. We know that many of you have been eager to use Overbridge on Big Sur, but before upgrading please note that this version does not yet include the CoreAudio driver in order to run as a regular audio interface. Therefore, we want to first release it as a public beta. In practice, this means that while you can multi-track stream individual channels via the Overbridge plugin, you can not yet choose your device as a sound card. This is being worked on and we hope to have that ready soon. Apart from that, the new driver has been tested extensively and proved to work well.
Warning! Please refrain from upgrading to macOS Big Sur if you want to keep using your Elektron device as a regular sound card in Overbridge mode. Only multi-track streaming from the plugin is available at this point. CoreAudio will be added later.
