To all the Elektronauts struggling to get Overbridge plug-in with all inputs/outputs and DAW sync working properly in FL Studio, here are a short guide for you:
Don’t use Overbridge VST as a generator, instead add it as a mixer track effect. If you’re unable to add it as an effect, you need to manually change the plugins preferences in the plug-in manager so that it’s tagged as an effect instead of generator (rescan without automatic verification may be needed).
The inputs and outputs are accessed from the Overbridge VST wrapper settings (under ‘Processing’, see ‘Connections’). To route the individual outputs properly in the ‘Connections’ tab, you need to first sidechain the Overbridge mixer track to as many other mixer tracks as you are about to use. The same applies to Overbridge inputs; just sidechain the desired track to Overbridge mixer track and the set the VST wrapper connection settings accordingly.
This isn’t working for me. I have tried OB both as a generator and an effect. I sidechain the main OB channel to consecutive following mixer channels and all the sounds still come out of the main channel, even with the processing changed.
When I play anything, it comes in on the mixer channel labeled 4 (actually 15). If I change the Main LR output from 5 to 4, it plays on channel labeled 3. Def. not working at all for me.
Try removing the connection between Ch 11 (‘A4OB’) and Master; does it work then (see my previous screenshot)? You should notice that the Sidechain indices for outputs (which you set up in OB Wrapper --> Processing tab in FL Studio) are relative indicies, not the actual channel indices (try right-clicking the output numbers to see which channels are which). Finally, did you set up the outputs in Overbridge Control Panel correctly?
I’ll try that tonight at home. As for “Overbridge Control Panel”, do you mean the settings in the FL wrapper?
Also, any idea how to trigger each track individually via OB. Right now no matter what I select it still triggers Track 1 unless I actually play the track on the physical A4 unit.
No, I mean the actual Elektron Overbridge Control Panel which is installed together with the OB VST plug-ins. See the screenshot attached. You need to have the desired outputs enabled there before it can work with DAW.
I did. I just missed that section cause I jumped straight to the A4 section. You know as well as I do that Elektron manuals aren’t always the most user friendly!
