Yo! Curious to know if it can stream more than one device at a time

Same. Would be sick if you could use an IPAD+ Overhub as a multitrack recorder for an entire Elektron rig!

Even if it was limited to one device at a time, that’s a breakthrough. Also, if everything is tempo synced, no problem to record separate multitrack takes of each device while specifically changing parameters manually on each device in turn.

What the F? This is what they spending their resourches on? Makes no sense to me. Massive effort and non of their devices is batterie powered. So not really portable like an Ipad.

none of their current devices

It’s solidly utilitarian, having that work reliably and smoothly on all their current devices is good for working musicians, and lots of people rely on the ipads I guess.
But with an event like Superbooth of course all of us are hoping for new sounds or systems of some kind, a slightly better Overbridge is appreciated but not exciting.

I know I’ll sound like captain grump, but I’ve never had any interest in overbridge, or any need to use it, and I don’t see that changing.
I don’t think I’m alone in this.

I’m not exactly sure if its sometimes better just to feed with a mixer into daw.
My thought on such mega machines.
I want this:
Okay, and 6 ins 6 outs for lets say send/receive and external synths on top, so it is for this tasks better than OT orig.
edit: and keep a layer for midi. I don’t want to sacrifice tracks for midi.
edit2: I think i would pay € 2.500,- for this, because its a workstation without keyboard then. Anyway, it’s not coming this way, so pfff. dunno what to think.
It’s not so much about combining every box in one, but rather to have a more capable mixer with something that is unique to the OT.
To me the sequencing is the least interesting thing about the current OT, old and unnecessarily complicated (parts etc), MIDI poly limited to 4 voices (that alone makes any sequencer impossible to use as a main, so basically every Elektron sequencer besides DN).
It’s great but it’s also frustrating, so I find that using a dedicated sequencer like a Cirklon, Oxi one or any other one is the best way to get what you want out of these boxes.
If you think about the second usb-c of tonverk this makes lots of sense IMO; future electron boxes allow for multiple ins from their partner boxes, not even as a primary use case but as an alternative to the single stereo ins of the takts, etc.
the sequencer would need updates too………
thats mandatory
Efforts like this are crucial for a company like Elektron for a wide range of reasons:
- Bringing new functionality to segments of the existing user base, increasing their investment in it
- Expanding the Elektron universe, opening up new markets and thus expanding the community and customer base
R&D is also crucial, the products you use every day are the result of ”wasting resources” on 50 things that were wrong, a process without which none of these products would manifest. And without products, no company.
We want Elektron to do well right? Elektron doing well means spending a lot of resources on things that not all existing users need or love
I don’t give a toss about Octatrack, Rytm, what Tonverk appears to become, and I have no current use for the ipad app. But I wholeheartedly support these efforts, for Elektron as a company, and for my fellow users who (in great numbers) appear to want this

Well said @DavidL !

I don’t really like the Parts thing either, but the OT sequencer has a few things going for it that none of the digits have (yet). LFO pitch to scale is a huge one

No doubt it’s great, but on other aspects it seems a little too purposefully crippled. As often with Elektron devices. I understand the audio voices limitations, but limiting the MIDI polyphony to 4 is just… You gotta hate your customers or something.

I also found the parts thing hard to deal with, because It hought I could only have 4 parts per project. Once I realized that each bank was independent of the others and could have its own track setups etc. I stopped worrying about it, realizing that parts gave me 4 ‘orchestration’ options in each bank, but that I could have 16 completely different songs in the 16 banks within a single project.

Do you mean polyphony of 4 per track? Cause I have recorded whole tracks where all the sequencing came fromt he OT and I used an MPC with some plugins for the sounds, I didn’t notice any voice stealing. 4 notes on one track is enough for a reasonably thick chord, you could always send 2 tracks to the same MIDI channel if you wanted more poly. Obviously it is not the right sort of device if you want to want to sequence piano/harpsichord études or complex guitar performances.
