Just vote ‘Pro’ or ‘Con’
The reason why is fine but please no discussion to keep this topic clear!
For me it’s:
Con - The Analog series are not semi-modular so it’s not interesting for me.
P R O (love the way you can use it, but dont have to)

I have no need for it, and have noticed the lack of OS updates on machines due to it.
Con.
Edit - removed comments.
Pro Con
I like what it does…
But I can’t seem to get it to work without a glitch, which makes it unstable and not really useable.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done a multi-track recording only to have to re-record each track individually because of the glitches…
GLITCHES!

Con…what Prints said^
PRO: Good concept
CON: Doesn’t work with Logic (and from what I’ve read really only with Live how it’s supposed to).
CON: Roadmap constantly gets pushed back even when revised, and I’m starting to lose faith it will ever work with Logic how it’s supposed to.
CON: Takes resources away from updates of machines (previously mentioned).
In the grand scheme of things it’s hard not to look at it as a big mistake in my opinion. That can all change though, so fingers crossed!
CON- Not working No update No real BETA…
Pro: good idea and concept
Con: sync is not tight on my system
Overall, OB reminded me why I like hardware. Hardware is all right there, straight to the point. You’re off and running. With OB, there’s just a hair enough set-up to kill my inspiration.
Maybe with more updates and a little tighter sync. Until then, I’m all hardware.
Con- I don’t have any interest in it, and I would prefer it if Elektron focused on something else instead.
pro in a jam session it records everything so you can find things you liked later.
This… so generally:
PRO - if it ever works properly.
Pro :
Just plug the USB and there you go! Removing the middle units for connection, it’s a good concept (for a sole Elektron user of course)
Also a really nice interface for new Elektronauts who couldn’t get the hold of mingling around the machine yet.
Cons :
Too limited when thought about the potential. Would like to see where it is going.
Pro.
Frees up 8 recording inputs on my audio interface and saves me from even more cables on my desk.
Con: lame bandwidth, why not be able to use all input channels from AR?
^
Exactly what I was about to write !!
Pro: Why not ? ; It Exists. Take it or leave it, it’s not compulsory !
.
Con: This thread ; The futile complaining & dull DAW questions …

PS: ^ Low relative bandwidth reasons have been covered officially (lesser evil), make the best of what you have !
Con: not synched properly
When I’ve got it working, I’ll let you know.
Pro - looks occasionally useful, if it works.
Cons - I only have OT and overbridge seems to have taken nearly all of elektron Dev resources for a long time now. Disappointing for a ‘hardware’ company… Personally I think elektron should focus energy on what they’re good at and what sets them apart. Unique, forward thinking STANDALONE units… Though with OT for example there is still often a need to be able to get all 8 tracks in to a Daw as stems. Which would be amazing if Elektron could figure out a simple method. But it doesn’t have to be as complicated as over bridge…
