Hey all, would like to get you’re opinion on the following:
Since we’re to open just 1 instance of overbridge per physical instrument, this means one needs to use the Digitakt as a rack instrument inside Cubase, right? This enables one to take care of each DT track separately.
Now, since Rack instruments are not too comfortable in Cubase (automation and volume become cumbersome…) I was wondering if there’s another solution or workflow you guys are using to make this more of a seamless experience?
If you disable Overbridge mode, you can route each channel to it’s own track. Assuming your system sees it, the DT acts like a regular sound card that way. That’s how I bring audio from the DT to my DAW in my system. I do this for tracks that don’t rely on any internal DT fx. This allows me flexibility to add/remove fx afterwards. For anything I do completely in the DT and love “as-is” (which there are quite a few), I record the main outs, archive the project, and call it a day. Just sharing what I do, others will have more insight i’m sure. best of luck.

you don’t have to make a instrument track a simple midi track will do
you are lucky that you have the pro version because for actually to be possible to record the 8 audio tracks when using overbridge you have to create busses where you have to choose the right input and that is only possible in Cubase pro( quick short explaining) because you have to do actually a lot to make it work
there is a good video on you tube how to set it up
I will check if I cant put it here
one moment please
Man you are simply the best!
I’ve tried to do as you wrote but made a complete mess.
Hopefully tonight i’ll be able to get this right with the video;'s help.
yes I know it wasn’t very clear to me also in the beginning
one more thing I want to talk about and also to answer a bit to your midi question
midi from DT to Cubase with overbridge works very good
for example read and record on, you turn an encoder on DT and he records it and gives the track the name contains wich audiotrack from DT and wich parameter
I found this very easy and handy
BTW are you familiar with the input transformer of Cubase ?
It’s funny you should mention this “you turn an encoder on DT and he records it and gives the track the name” - I actually tried this yesterday and not sure it worked quite the way I expected this.
But again - once I’ll set it up with your input and the video, I suspect things will come into focus.
EDIT - Had to delete and re open DN and DT instruments, now works…
Later will try the entire thing…
(Bad news - re opened the same project, did absolutely nothing except upgrading os and overbridge, and it’s all a mess. when I’m trying to open digitone, it opens digitakt. And both don’t play a sound.)
I’m not promising anything but I will try to make a video about it how the encoders are recording in Cubase using overbridge
Now about the input transformer.
I think its the same when using overbridge ( not sure) but when you send midi to cubase from the audio tracks or midi tracks to a miditrack in Cubase you will have to configure the input transformer on that midi track so it only listens to the midi channel you put on that midi /audio track coming from the DT
Otherwise every midi the DT is sending out will be received by that miditrack in Cubase and we don’t want that do we
you can find the Input transformer on each midi track its that button with a squared arrow on it
setting should be something like this
filter channel unequal to (the midi channel you want to receive on that midi channel in Cubase
I’m assuming you don’t have any filter possibilities in your midi interface
Hi mate, thanks for the video.
Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me.
I tried Overbridge as a standalone - it works.
Tried in Maschine, Logic - it works.
In Cubase, not a sound. There, in the video, when he activates all outputs and presses play on Digitakt, he gets sound which is streamed from the device to vst. I do not. I will sell Digitakt, sadly, this is too frustrating.

but I will try to make a video about it how the encoders are recording in Cubase using overbridge
