Well I actually bought both my A4 MK2 and OT MK2 for live performances only and not for OB. Good thing otherwise both units would have went back for a refund. Still it would be nice to have the ability to offload tracks from the A4 MK2 and OT MK2 to a DAW like Ableton or Cubase as a plugin synth for recording purposes. Is this even possible without using OB?

OT MK2 is not / will not be Overbridge compatible, like the other current Elektron products, fyi.

not surprised

You shouldn’t be.
OT mk2 was never advertised with OB compatibility

yea I know that! I bought Elektron gear only for live use. Now if it works with my DAW that is a bonus.

Without OB, is it possible to use OT and A4 in DAW software like an external synth?

At the opposite,
OT MkI was not advertised with Trig Conditions, A4 MkI was not advertised with polyphony, DT with compressor…

I hope there will be good surprises again.

Yes, with midi.

Most daws have an option now to insert on a track an ‘external synth’ plugin.
This simplifies the routing for you.
It is then just a case of in the plugin allocating the midi interface / channel to send midi to, and the audio interface / audio input channel you have the synth connected to

cool that works for me!

I’m a bit afraid to ask, but I’ve fallen off the hype wagon…

Was there any word from Superbooth about the possibility of Overbridge? Do we now stand at “it’s coming”? Or any specifics at all?

how long is a piece of string?

Look in the mirror and you’ll find Overbridge. It’s in all of us. WE are the seamless integration between hardware and software.

Yeah, but utilizing my USB port is invasive and uncomfortable…

This forum gets more metaphysical by the minute. Cue the death cults.
