Overbridge setup is not working

Hi there,

I am totaly new here :slight_smile: I recently bought a A4 and I really enjoy it. I want to record my pattern on my Windows Notebook (Windows 10 Pro).

I installed the Elektron Overbrige 1.0.5 Driver and when I start the Overbridge Control Panel, I can see that the A4 is recognized and sound is incoming BUT I cannot hear it on my Notebook. I am running REAPER on it and when I choose the A4 as source, the record shows that there is no sound incoming.

I am wondering why the Overbridge Control Panel is showing me that music is incoming I can not listen to it and also not recording it within a software.

Do I miss something? I checked the Windows configuration. The driver is installed properly and I choosed the A4 as recording source within the Windows audio configuration.

Can anybody give me some advice?

Thanks in advance

Hey,

I have comparable issues. First of all I started to realise that you can’t use OV yet the way they do it in Ableton. Have your normal audio interface working together with A4/rytm, at least not for straight recording. I tried your way as well, select in the audio driver instead of your audiocard Asio one of the Elektrons. First of all you hear no sound, which seems logic since your normal outputs go through your soundcard which you just disabled. So I guess unless you listen to the Elektrons unit outputs directly you won’t hear a sound like you said. Furthermore I tried recording (without hearing it) which should be possible now since you see the Elektrons inputs in your DAW on the audio channels, but here I encounter strange behaviour, the sound records but it’s distorted, noise on one side and other nasty artifacts. I believe this part is not 100% right for the moment. My way around, and not the best for recording, but good one if you want to stream the audio via USB:

Choose your normal Asio soundcard driver. You should hear the Elektron now on a selected miditrack and with the VST loaded, BUT you can’t record directly through USB. My workaround, do track by track and on every track you do an audio export, but “realtime” works perfect! Check the setting to import the WAV back in Cubase and you ahve it :slight_smile: Downside, you can’t tweak while exporting (unless I miss something, maybe there is a monitoring setting during export?), and 1 channel at a time.

I also couldn’t figure out yet how you can use let’s say the A4 on 4 different midi channels in the DAW within one opened VST version? If I make a midi track channel 2 I am opening a new VST instance, but it doesn’t want to load sounds. Maybe I am missing something here because in the plugin you can select all tracks but how can I point them to 4 Cubase midi tracks?

Furthermore I encounter OPEN GL driver errors, that’ s videocard related, my DAW crashes. I already updated my videocard drivers and it’s a powerfull one, so I think it’s an OV bug, Elektron?

I hope they will release a stable version for Cubase, S1 and other major DAW’s, not everybody is working with Ableton. Despite some bugs and limitations I like the OV workflow though! I hope my videocard crash was just some bad luck, I keep my fingers crossed for the following days…
