Overbridge as iOS/iPadOS app?

I’m entirely on IOS right now. There are plenty of amazing synths and effects including Waldorf Blofeld, Fabfilter Plugins, Eventide Blackhole, etc.

First, the plugins cost a fraction of the Desktop versions and secondly, sound design and drawing automations work best for me with a pen on the sofa.

Overbridge for iPad would mean an instant Digitakt (re-)buy for me. By then I’m quite happy with Oxi One Mk2, even though I’m missing the Elektron workflow a lot.

I thought they’d shown a teaser at some point?

Teaser was shown here: Overbridge as iOS/iPadOS app? - #225 by IbanDevice

Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bug-free, releasable product yet. Or that they have even decided to make it into one.

Ok, I wasn’t hallucinating.

Certainly doesn’t mean it’s a candidate but beyond release cadence, that they were willing to show-not-even-leak it is a sign that it’s not vaporware and they had enough pride to brag!

Yes, my point was that they’re still thinking about it.

Of course they do. What i got from initial showcase is that they wanna gauge if there is enough people interested in this to devote man power to make it possible.

I’m concerned that it would compete with Tony Tonverk since it effectively grants you an fx playground.

Just keeping the interest alive!

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m afraid of. Who would need the Tonverk if you can just take a DN2 or DT2, an iPad with AUM, and build your own Tonverk with any available effects, routing, and parameter locks via MIDI CC?
Although honestly, even having the Tonverk, I’d still pay for an iPad Overbridge for the DN2.

Reproducibility is not straightforward with two independent systems. You manually have to keep track of the mapping for all the settings/presets. Parameter locks via CCs are rather painful as well because of the manual mapping. For noodling around that’s not a problem but in live situations it can be a headache.
I’d prefer to go fully in the box with a synth/sampler AU or stick to the capabilities of the hardware.

This would be insane! Ipad is already very strong with Digitakt, but Overbridge app would make it so much better!

If not full Overbridge, at least the option to have the multi outs at first :pray:

This would be amazing already! I hope they wont delay multi-outs because of the other Overbridge stuff because on Ipad I think most users would be fine with just multi-outs to AUM or Loopy Pro without automating parameters etc. For sophisticated automation on a timeline it just makes more sense to edit in computer based DAW and mouse IMO. Not saying it wouldn’t be cool but I just know that implementing the whole thing will take time when multi-outs is the “Main Thing” that would already be a huge step forward and enough for most.

Just adding my +1 to the thread - I’m not familiar with all the features of Overbridge as I only really use iPad for recording, but having the ability to even just export all the tracks as audio from my digi boxes right into a DAW would be awesome

Yes, I need only multi track output and input to premix, nothing more.

Me too — with the multi-out I’ve got what I need and I won’t bother anymore.
