Status update on Overbridge [posted May 2018]

Not here to bitch around but does anyone know if there is plan for the phases?
Bought an AR2 and just want to know if they have like a set plan for the beta test phases.

Why is the ”appropriate forum” for questions a locked thread?

They are questions that require an answer that only an official can give. And officials can reply in locked threads.

Okay. Haven’t seen much replies from officials lately so maybe it would be good to open the discussion so people can speculate?

You said the same for Digitakt driver six months ago when the beta started. Any idea why there is still no public release if this is the case?

It does seem strange that the only feedback and clue of OB progress is given to the public by a single customer in this thread alone?
Wouldn’t you think Elektron should instead be providing these video updates, feedback etc to the general public to keep them informed on progress, rather than just a customer?
Quite bizarre really, and kind of surprising this thread exists considering, and yes you can hide this post if you like

Yes it is strange. I also find it weird that all discussion about the beta and release gets moved to the locked thread, if it is not praise.

@psyclone001 @lemons nothing strange really : you’re just bringing nothing to the thread, and driving it towards sterile off-topic ranting we’ve seen countless times already.
But you seem smart enough to guess this.
Why keep coming back at it, then?

Anybody testing with the new Macbook Pro? I’m interested to see how OB would behave with the necessary USB hub (and Mojave). I’m in the market for a new laptop. :wink:

You should discuss that with Elektron. Beta testers are asked not to forward the files.

Too bad the beta isn’t open, I get my shiny new DT tomorrow and would love to see how it works now that OB is closer to completion.

Can somebody give us an update how the beta is progressing please?
Like how much devices still need to be tested with drivers and plugin…
That would give us a little bit of an idea how much time until final release.

Thanks in advance!

It looks good. Everything beyond that would just be a wild guess.

Does that mean, that all Overbridge enabled devices already received their beta drivers and plugin testing, or is for example, the A4 or AR still missing their drivers…?! My question wasn’t about guessing a release date… It was more towards progress the beta concerning…

not to be all sour grapes, but it is rather disappointing that elektron hasn’t opened up portions of the beta to the customers that bought a box in 2017 that said “Overbridge Enabled.” here we are at 2019’s doorstep, with a working driver, and by all accounts a working standalone version and no official channel to at least try it out. There are ways around that but it leaves a really bad taste in my mouth so to speak. I like the digitakt, however it’s the last elektron product i’ll ever purchase after this experience.

Hi guys,

so I came here to research why my A4mkii wasn’t being recognised by OB on my mbp 10.13.6 2018 set up, I tried different, cables, ports even laptops (2012mbp 10.13.6) to no avail, but after some reading im guessing the mkii is simply not supported on high Sierra, my question is, when this beta is released, A4mkii will be supported? the gutting thing is I had a toss up today when buying this unit, the A4mkii or another synth (different brand), OB integration sold it for me lol how wrong was i?!?!
