OB and Push?

[AriHaf]

“Elektron Overbridge 1” (hardware) the other is “Analog Four” (plug-in)

When i set up OB and Live (LIVE/OB<->USB<->A4) i can record notes on the a4, but only when i use the “Elektron Overbridge 1” as “midi to” destination + activate the “Track” send in Live preferences.

Do you have set up Live the same way?

In Cenks video he is not recording anything from Live to the A4/Rytm.

The way Mac Os is showing the device in Live´s prefenrences is easier to understand

Umm so you mean that in order to rec sequences back to the elektron units from OB, we need to use USB-MIDI/DIN-MIDI to transmit the notes etc? In addition to running OB?

This raises several questions - How is the sync going to be like in such a scenario? Furthermore, what about OB parameter automations? Will they get recorded into the hardware along with the note data?

Just want to be clear about this as AFAIK using OB devices as MIDI/Audio devices with live seems to cause conflicts with OB, at least in certain configs…

You don’t have to be running OB to record sequences back to the A4 sequencer. In USB-MIDI mode you can record sequence to A4 whether you are in OBmode or not.

What I was implying was if you have OB running (A4 system USB setting OB-Only mode), you can still record into the A4 sequencer (both in step and live mode) using the method I described above without changing the A4’s USB setting in the Global menu.

You don’t need to go back and switch the A4’s USB setting from OB-Only to USB-MIDI in order to use the USB-MIDI.

Ideally if you are in OB-Only mode, it would be nice to use the VST to record in to A4 sequencer but it doesn’t work with the currently version of the OB.

I think the way OB is implemented currently, the MIDI data that is outputted via the DAW to the OB VST is only triggering the sound engine of the A4 but it is not recognized by the A4’s internal sequencer.

So you hear the A4 playing back the sounds but the MIDI data doesn’t get recorded into the A4’s internal sequencer.

Only way I could get the MIDI data from the DAW to be recorded by A4’s sequencer (both step and live mode) is by using the A4’s USB-MIDI using the Global Chanel.

Yeah “elektron OB 1” is frustrating more so with 2 devices and they both say “Elektron Overbridge 1”!!! The annoying part is on my PC they did show like Cenks Mac listing until i upgraded to Win10. The Win10 part may be coincidence but something did change pre 1.0 release for me and my set up.
I can’t quite remember my old settings - I’m having to use OB with midi cables now - but to clarify, I was able to send midi note data from AK or Push to any of my Elektrons whether usb OB only or midi connected. I’m guessing you guys are talking about transmitting midi clip data into the elektron sequencer though?
But yes, I need to now use Elektron Overbrdige 1 to get midi in/out of AK/AR

In Windows 7 (64bit), it shows up as Elektron Analog Four (Elektron USB Midi) and Analog Four (VST).

Thanks,
it was not very clear for me that i can not use the plug in to sequence on the units, no big deal, but at least confusing.

Thanks,
that was the most confusing part because anything else worked great after the upgrade/update. I hope they? can fix this.

i got the sequencing working with my settings, i´m only using usb know, but had to guess and select the right usb-midi out (Live-Preferences)

Arp is working too and hopefully Program Chg (couldn´t test it)

Program change worked for me with one OB device. No joy with 2 (hence the need for midi cables!). Worked fine pre Win10 though.

Hoping for a fix too. Seems slightly pointless having my AK and AR hooked up with usb for OB and also midi for program changes!

Hoping a couple of things are fixed soon too.
