Overbridge and FL Studio

Hi! Who is using here Overbridge with FL Studio? I tried like 2 hours to make it work and i just can’t do it! If someone knows how to do it please help me! Thank you!

Ok! So i searched the forum and i found this

"FL Studio’s automatic plug-in delay compensation (PDC) is notoriously bad when it comes to VST-instruments with multiple outputs (such as A4/Keys/Rytm-OB) and some additional steps are required to get OB plugins to sync properly with FL Studio. As these steps are certainly not obvious to everyone I thought it’d be great to spill the beans just in case there’s someone desperately looking for info on how to do it.

[ol]
[li]Firstly, it is essential to route the A4/Keys/Rytm-OB plug-in to the MASTER track. That’s right; by not routing the OB-plugin output to any other mixer track than the master the automatic PDC won’t mess things up.[/li]
[li]Next, in order to properly route the individual outputs, from the OB-plugin wrapper properties go to ‘VST wrapper settings’ > ‘Processing’. From the ‘Connections’-panel the individual outputs can now be routed to separate mixer tracks as desired.[/li]
[li]Next, create a sub-mix from all the OB mixer tracks. In other words, route all the mixer tracks receiving audio from the OB plugin(s) to a separate mixer track (e.g. “Rytm OB”). Don’t route any of the OB-tracks to the master.[/li]
[li]Finally, a Fruity Limiter trick is used for syncing the OB tracks with the DAW correctly: Firstly, (1) place a Fruity Limiter plug-in on the OB sub-mix track, (2) turn the mix level knob in the mixer all the way down to 0% and (3) in the “Envelope” section of the Fruity Limiter adjust the ATT, REL and AHEAD knobs to 0%. Then, (4) find out the exact latency of the OB plugin – this is indicated in the OB-plugin wrapper settings (for example, my Rytm OB plug-in latency is 1915 samples, or 1915/44.1=43.42 ms (at 44.1 kHz sample rate)). The final step now is to (5) adjust the Fruity Limiter ATT knob (in the ‘Envelope’-section) to the same value as the OB latency (in milliseconds, e.g. 43.42 ms). In other words, the ATT-knob can now be used for manual latency compensation of the OB-plugin(s).[/li]
[/ol]

This allows me to get all the individual OB outputs from my A4 and Rytm plug-ins in sync with the DAW. Most importantly, this also seems to do the trick even if I use plug-ins which introduce considerable latency in any of the individual OB mixer tracks (i.e. the FL Studio’s automatic PDC is working correctly). Just remember to route all the other stuff you’re sequencing in the DAW to a mixer track (instead of directly to master track) in order to sync everything correctly (this also applies to the metronome)."

Now, when i put the OB on the Master Track when i go to the VST wrapper settings’ > ‘Processing’. From the ‘Connections’-panel the individual outputs can now be routed to separate mixer tracks as desired -> i can’t choose Outputs only if i put the OB on an normal track.


So, no outputs available in here?


The outputs are there but i can’t change the settings …“outputs can now be routed to separate mixer tracks as desired.” Can u please please make some screenshoots how the hell i need to do? 5 hours spent i cant make this work please

Can’t change the output settings? That’s strange, no problem in here, see the screenshot


Which FL version are you running?

12.2 [build 3] 64 bit

Following up on this, I can’t get FLStudio to play anything besides Track 1 in FL via the piano roll. What am I missing?

I had no problems with a previous version of Overbridge in FL Studio 11.x 64 bit on Windows 7.

Though now I am having an issue where I can load the VST, but the wrapper has no GUI (same with the Overbridge Control Panel in Windows). Tried install/uninstall/reinstall several times. I’m at quite a loss.

I do however get sound in FL Studio, I just can’t see the VST! I have a ticket in with Elektron, see if they can come up with something. This would be somewhat devistating to my workflow if I can’t get it sorted.

I’m thinking now maybe I need to download the installer over again. Its like the image files or w/e were corrupt or missing.
