Donato. I would kindly ask Elektron to send you the cable as you bought a product that is not working as expected.
And yeah - talking only for myself - I ordered the Overhub because I don´t want to make big experiements with usb stuff as I did before with some several controlers. I had a look at some usb ports on amazon - but I didn´t find anything mention if its MTT or not.
but back on topic 
Yep. I started a ticket with that request.

I still have to grasp fully how “Sync automatically on save” works.[/quote]
It saves the equivalent of the Elektron’s project file - kits, patterns, sound pool and possibly even the Rytm’s sample pool (haven’t tested that one) to the plugin when you save in Live. When you open the file again, a dialogue pops up on the Elektron asking you to accept the recall state - if you do as far as I can gather it replaces what you’ve got on the box with what’s saved in the plugin. You can also use the box’s current state, in which case what’s in the plugin is replaced. At least that’s how I understand it, open to correction.
Really powerful and useful feature,but with major workflow implications for me - because I largely used the Elektrons as sound modules and sequenced from live, I could have kits relating to 5 or 6 different live sessions in a single Elektron project, going to move to 1 project per live session from now on. But if it doesn’t suit you, you don’t necessarily have to activate the Total Recall functionality.

Thanks for the info Benway,
Can you confirm that if total recall works for my previous sessions when i open a new project??
Okay. Enough of this **** for now. Why do I keep on fighting on trying to get it working when it simply. Doesn’t. Work.
Got rid of the plugin in my Live set and made everything the old way. Midi to channels and audio through my multitrack-usb-mixer. Works instantly. Doesn’t scramble the audio or just stop working without a reason.
Let’s check again after a few updates.
Not sure I follow you - do you mean if you if you open a saved live session and have a new project open in your Elektron?
If so, what happens is that you’re given the option on the box to “accept recall” . If you do so, everything that’s in your project is replaced by the data saved in the plugin - the machine is returned to exactly the state that it was in when you last saved or synced from the box to the plugin. If you’ve never set up total recall in the session an synced with the Elektron, then obviously there will be nothing to recall and you won’t get the option.
Amazing, but dangerous. You would need to be careful to save work done on the box before accepting recall, as it will be overwritten - can’t see that there’s an easy undo.
Can also confirm that the total recall includes the rytm’s sample pool. As far as I can tell, the samples are sent from the plugin to the rytm rather than being pulled from the +drive. I could be wrong about this - after all, all the relevant samples are in my machine already, so it could just be reading them from the drive, but I’m almost certain they’re coming from the plug.
If I’m right, looks like sample upload via the overbridge plugin can’t be too far away.
Great!!! Thanks that’s all i wanted to know!!!

Just a follow-up. They’re working on it, but if you didn’t receive the USB 2 cable with Overhub, you won’t be getting one in the future. I sent them my computer data, and have no choice but to continue look for this cable:
Hi,
The latest version of Overbridge (1.10) has some general issues with USB hubs on some systems. So if it was working fine with a 3.0 connection before the update, this issue is most likely caused by the new driver. We are looking into a solution at the moment.
What kind of computer do you have? I could see if it is one of the computers known for having USB 3 issues.
Unfortunately we do not have any spare Micro USB cables, they all come pre-packaged. I would recommend looking where they send smartphone accessories, since the USB Micro cables are commonly used to charge Android phones.

I’ve tried 2 stores each of Steren, Office Max and Office Depot. And a location of Radio Shack, Sanborns and a couple mom and pop shops. There’s a Best Buy maybe 4km from where I’m working today. Might try to walk over there in a bit. Does anyone have any other ideas? They sell Android phones at most of these places. Everyone has the micro-A end, but only two stores had the micro-B (which is the overhub requirement). And of those stores, all they had was USB 3.
Edit: No luck at Best Buy. Enormous location. They had a micro-B ($429 pesos, really Best Buy?! About $24 US), but it was USB 3.0 anyway.
Think I may try to sell the RYTM locally and use the overhub to remedy a wobbly table. Can’t give up on the AK as it’s the centerpiece of my setup.
Any little shops that sell and/or repair 2nd hand phones will have them.
hey guys, anyone know if you can pipe external audio through the AK via Overnridge when you are not using AK as your soundcard (UCX fireface in my case)? Doesn’t seem clear from the manual or demo
Cheers!
Yep you can do that.
Yeah, you just need to make sure that the channel or channels you’re sending to are open in Overbridge control first - and also the relevant out channel unless you’re happy running it through the main outs. Then select the channel as a side chain in the plugin and send the audio to it from a track in the same way as doing sjidechaining - and another audio channel to receive the audio back.
Pretty excited by the prospect of setting up the A4 as a filter bank too - has anyone done this? Not quite sure how best to configure it - either route audio from live to the ext ins and use 2 channels L and 2 R in to the oscillator, or cascade using neighbour, or just 2L and 2R copies of my sample in to the a4 through overbridge … decisions, decisions …
got it going. love it. thanks guys
I post a thread in the rytm section but maybe someone can tell me here: am I the only one with no reverb, delay or balance available when using my rytm with OB?
I suspect nobody can be bothered answering this one yet again - it’s not a computer, it’s a bit of hardware, it has a relatively fixed signal path, that’s in the manual and discussed here a thousand times - I think cross posting isn’t appreciated btw
.
there’s a bunch of mono analog voices , there’s one stereo digital FX section send per voice - thereafter the voice can be panned and mixed with the fx return, but it’s all analog before and after the send to FX, the single FX -so, for voices, there’s only one place to gather digital info, and that’s at the end of the main part of the voice, pre send, pre panning, NO FX, NO Pan
.
there is only one FX section - so it makes no sense to tap the circuit wet as each voice will feed into it, it’s a send fx, the tap has to be dry (the stereo return can be wet and the end of digital line provides the last tap point) - there never could have been any other interpretation of this (imagine it as an analog mixer with one fx to use, think it through) - so nothing’s wrong, familiarise yourself with the manual and the many discussions here in particular, full of goodness, but lots of repeats, Google around
.
fwiw - the question is rather vague, but I’m guessing you mean per track as opposed to main - the individual outs on the hardware are the same, so this isn’t really a question about OB per se, it’s about the architecture
cross posting isn’t appreciated btw

Ooops, very sorry for cross posting.
Yeah I should have been exposing a bit more… So, I have no FX and balance at all using OB; the same project got everything working fine if I am on Rytm by itself.
Weird.
you can record the fx via ob.
just disconnect the voices from the main outs in voice routings / kit settings
set ableton audio channel to post fx
I guess the only limitation is the bandwith and max amount of channels.
Oh, ok I get everything now. Sorry for that guys.
I am ashamed and will hide. 
don’t take that from this 
- if there’s something learned, at least the next reader may gain from it … tbh, I still don’t know what was missing and what solved it - was it just the general layout of the architecture and what is technically achievable or was it some other detailed thing or setting
.
if you are saying you cannot get FX or Width, then you need to say what channels you were looking at, presumably not the mains - but you certainly won’t (can’t) get FX or Width on the individual outs
.
detail always helps in the questions - I guessed it was “why is my snare not wet using OB ?” - but maybe it’s not
.
the problem with cross posting isn’t just about being pedantic - it means someone else may take time to answer on your other thread, then it really gets messy looking for answers
