Nice one Elektron :kiss:

i’m hoping this drops Monday.

Wow! I can’t wait to play with the FM features. So much thanks to all the people at Elektron. I’m blown away with how much better the A4 becomes with every update. Elektron is so in tune with good design in terms of aesthetics, sonics, and overall user experience. They’ve provided the most positive customer experience I’ve had in this industry…possibly ever.

The video was recorded on Nov 30…purposely delayed until NAMM or developmemt problems.

so wait, if I understood correctly, with OB 1.1, I can route audio into my AR and have it be triggered via the sequencer and then do p-lock automation on it? If true the AR would basically have the same mangling capabilities that Machinedrum users were able to do but with OB rather than the input, yeah? Really hope this is true as not being able to sequence the input is one of the biggest disappointments about my AR thus far.

Also, I really hope 1.1 comes out for Cubase/Logic not just Ableton for this next release. I’m scared that its going to be 1.1 for Ableton but 1.0 for Cubase/Logic/etc.

No, no recording. You can pipe audio through the filters and vca.

@j0hnglist

i think you are right. i think yo mean the step input from the machinedrum where you can assign that a playback song is just coming through a trig.

rest is muted. Machinedrum had a lot of cool features tbh. :slight_smile:

As said, no. The input has no ADC, unlike the A4, so you can only inject audio from the DAW to the filters etc. Won’t change.
Obviously only using the current available bandwidth

but it looks like in the demo video around 7 mins, they piped a loop into the AR via Overbridge and were able to manipulate the loop via the trigs in the sequencer. no?

recording was a bad choice of words sorry. Before Overbridge the input bypassed even the filters and went straight to the compressor. If you can pipe Overbridge audio through the filters, does this mean the sequencer and trigs have access to the piped audio?

I am no native speaker so I didn’t what they exactly said about the syncing.
I understood that sync via over bringe has been improved (nearly Sample accurate as Announced or improved?) But how exactly does this relate to the clock Generator by a4 and ar?
Am I likely to get a relieable clock out of them when synced via overbridge?
Just saw an app wich apparently Generates nearly jitterfree clock out of a wifi link signal. Really looking fwd to the live update wich incorporates the link. A friends of Mine knows a beta Tester Who apparently said that it is working really well.
Great times for making Music These days :slight_smile:

that’s what I said - inject audio from daw, it gets mixed at the point the sample enters a voice
.
when you refer to inputs, I think of the hardware
.
the audio can be filtered etc, but not manipulated (in AR or by OB) so it will merely pass through all the other goodies that a sample can including filter, vca and plocking etc

so that would mean I can re-trigger that audio in the AR sequencer with each step, and mangle its pitch, bitcrush it, use the start/end on loop mode , etc just like any sample inside AR? if so, thats absolutely amazing. thats whats been missing since the input in the AR bypasses all that and goes straight to the compressor.

Ill give you an example, my friend has a Machinedrum and he fed audio from a video of somebody making a speech in youtube into the machine. he then retriggers the audio and automates the start point to get amazing glitched out vocals. I would like to do this with the AR using audio in my DAW piped in via Overbridge. Basically , I want to be abl to manipulate audio quickly in AR without having to upload it as a sample to the pool. I want to work in my DA

no, I said no manipulation by AR or OB, it gets mixed as it is in the DAW after the sample goodies if that helps imagine the flow
.
you can see from the clip it’s done in L/R pairs into A4, will be same for AR but with more ‘inject’ points (ie 8 probably, but still working with overall bandwidth limits 6@24 / 8@16 )

I got mixed up cause Cenk was talking but they would zoom into the guy playing with the AR. Well, that fucking sucks :confused:

if impossible dreams hit you that hard then life’s gonna be challenging - bring the audio in - sorted :zonked:

Just wondering how if you could assign 8 inputs (8 voices) to the filters via the new Overbridge? There are 8 sample playback voices with DA conversion so it might be possible to use them as Overbridge inputs?

If this would be possible then we have some very powerful sampling!

You can already do this via the driver, but with the coming version you will be able to route audio into the Rytm / Four via the plugin as well. [/quote]

Also the Analog Four? I didn’t know there is a DA converter before each filter? [/i][/quote]

Yes! The noise is digital. [/quote]
Analog manipulation is no problem.

Am I right in saying that the plug-in can effectively act as an editor?

Can you save sounds edited via the editor on the units themselves?

Yep.
