Hi,
I just recognized, how to save Sounds to the Drive+ via Drag and Drop and how to edit the tags (a bit unusual with the small symbol beneath the name field in the kit editor). Is there a shortcut to mark all the “favorite” sounds any quicker directly in the Sound Browser?
I also didnt’ find any option to load a complete Kit, nor to save an edited kit to a NEW (!) slot. It seems its just possible to rename a kit and save it to the same slot (overwriting the former in the same slot). Or am I missing something?
You’re not alone here… I can’t see how to edit tags via overbridge or load a new kit.
I was also under the impression that using the over bridge plugin would save all the sounds within e.g. a Logic track. Not the case. I had a nice groove - great sounds etc all running within logic. The AR was programmed with the pattern. After power cycling the AR everything was lost.
Really trying to get my head around exactly what Overbridge is good for at the mo, except for graphical editing.
That’s my understanding as well. I expect that in future versions of OB they’ll beef up the kit loading/saving options since they’re halfway there already. That’ll be an appreciated feature. And I also agree that it would be nice to edit tags from the +drive sound browser side of the GUI. I put in a support ticket suggesting this and other related features for the future.
In general, I’d like to see OB improve its bi-directional functionality. It seems to work well for all parameters at this point, but it could be improved insofar as saving, naming, and tagging sounds goes. In other words, the more it moves towards a state where anything altered on either device or plugin is instantly reflected in the other, the better.
It’s a tad clumsy, but tags can be edited. I wrote this in another thread:
You edit on the screen as you have been in the “kit editor” tab. Then, if you switch to the “sound browser” tab, you can drag your new edited (in terms of tags, name, or whatever parameters you’ve altered sound-wise) sound from the track drag and drop area in the upper left hand of the screen to whatever slot you’d like in your +drive sound library.
As far as the 2nd point, you definitely can save sounds within and outside a DAW project (can only speak for Ableton and from what I’ve read Logic is nowhere near as stable, so perhaps that’s the issue…?). In fact, what I’ve discovered is that sounds saved to the +drive are done so regardless of the project; in other words, once you edit a sound and drag it to the +drive sound browser (as described above), it’s permanently on your +drive regardless of whether you save your DAW project and what you do in terms of total recall sync. It’s also immediately on your device as soon as you save in the OB plugin. This is really cool.
Not sure what happened to your sounds…sorry! But it most definitely works for me.
