Hey elektronauts ,
I already made a reddit post and support ticket about my issue…
But I figured might as well ask in the elektronaut tech discussion thread… Hopefully someone can help me out.
it has caused a full 8 hour day of frustration already trying to troubleshoot my problems.
My specs:
OS: Windows 10 Home
CPU: Intel i5-7300HQ 4-core 2.5GHz
RAM: 8GB
GPU: GTX 1050
DAW: Presonus Studio One 4
Audio Interface: Steinberg UR44
Overbridge version: 2.0.37
Digitakt: 1.11
Digitone: 1.21
I have a seperate usb3.0 port for both my Digitakt and Digitone.
I also tested both cables and they seem to be functioning.
Any warning messages in the elektron vst have been resolved.
these are the moments crashes occur :
When I drag in a digitakt instrument into a track it seems to work fine for a few minutes, but it still crashes after a while.
When I drag in a digitakt and then a digitone into another track it crashes immediatly.
When I (stupidly) drag in a digitakt and then another digitakt into another track it crashes immediatly. When I have the devices on during the start up of the DAW it crashes.
When I turn the devices on before draggin in the tracks it crashes.
When I turn the devices on after dragging in the tracks it crashes.
When I redownload overbridge 2.0 it still crashes.
When I turn on the digitakt and do nothing it crashes.
When I switch usb ports it crashes.
When I switch cables it crashes.
When I have both the digitakt and digitone turned off but opened a digitakt track it crashes in about ~5min of idle.
When I press start in my DAW to go back to the home page of said DAW , it crashes. (doesnt occur in projects where overbridge vst is not loaded in)
When I press x to close the vst window it crashes.
This is very frustrating and makes it completely unusable. Does anyone have a clue what the problem might be? I have been googling a lot today and I am at my wits end.
cheers and thanks for whoever can help.
edit: rolled back to beta version 2.0.21 & 2.0.017 & 2.0.19 all have the same problem for me.
besides running these in the latest studio one 4 , i also ran the VSTs in the latest studio one 3. Exact same issues.
Standalone apps of the digitone and digitakt work fine.
The buffer size in my control panel is the same as my audio interface.
The vsts kill the host even when both my hardware elektron devices are turned off.
Edit: ok just tested it in ableton 10 and here it crashes too, it seems to be something thats not talking nicely with my pc.
Edit: no corrupt files in command prompt.
edit: added screenshot
FINAL edit:
I have seemed to fixed the issue. Yes I had all my drivers up to date even my videocard drivers HOWEVER nvidia releases both studio and gaming drivers. if you have the latest gaming drivers it tells you youre completely up to date, however you need the studio drivers to be able to use overbridge.
so for anyone thats running into crashing issues with overbridge 2 this seems to be the fix https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx download the drivers here.
