Just wondering how the FX track works with Overbridge.
In his review loopop says it’s an insert effect, so if for example we have a sidechain effect on every track except the kick, the FX track will stream every tracks except the kick ?
Which means if we want to multitrack record in Ableton, we will have to record the master output soloing every track to have the FX track applied to them ?
You can still record a mono file of each individual track via overbridge, no matter if it is routed through the FX track or not. But it will be recorded before it goes through the FX track, so without the analog drive and filter. The FX track will be one stereo file of every track that’s being routed through it. In addition, overbridge allows you to also record an additional stereo file with only the delay and reverb.
No, sorry. I only tried the new overbridge with the ST. It would be great to get the same flexibility with the other boxes, but I guess the ST must have been planned to stream so many tracks at once from the beginning. I don’t know if this feature can simply be included via firmware updates on the other boxes.
I’m not able to record the delay / reverb track into Ableton.
I put a sound into the delay with lots of feedback, so the levels are pinned.
You can see overbridge picks that up fine. Main outs are showing as well as delay/reverb.
What type of computer are you using? With Macs, it’s an option as part of the Overbridge installation. There are plugins for many Elektron boxes to add versatility and functionality with DAWs.
On Windows, in the Overbridge installation process, there’s a page that gives you options for installation packages. Checking the Syntakt one should install a VST plugin and a stand-alone Syntakt app (you can search from start menu if the latter is already installed).
In the Ableton picture above it looks like you’re using an audio interface as the sound source—with the VST installed and located, you should be able to drag “Syntakt” plug-in in as a MIDI track, which then puts “Syntakt” into the list of audio sources for tracks (where “Ext In” shows up now)
If you find the Syntakt stand-alone app, it also has a serviceable recording interface if that’s simpler
