Some notes for setting up overbridge in abelton for multitrack recording.
Im using the digitone keys.
Links
+ Manual
+ download
1. After you have downloaded and installed overbridge on your PC
and made sure you have the latest firmware installed on your Elektron device
you will need to set up your hardware instrument.
A). first select the Gear / Settings icon
(the settings button has "Save Proj" underneath it)
B). Go to system.
B). Enter into "USB Config".
C). Hit enter and scroll to overbridge
Notice that the default is USB MIDI
When you check Overbridge, USB mdi will be disabled.
F) Set up a (audio) track for the main output.
---------------------------
Note, that the digitone keys must have the latest OS to work with overbridge.
Needs OS 1.40
-----------------------------------------
2. Abelton Settings
A). Choose plug-ins. You will see lots of Elektron VSTs
B) load the Digitone Vst.
The VST loads into the first MIDI track
(you don't need the other MIDI and audio tracks for now)
C) choose midi from Digitone keys
D) on the plug-in set sync to "no Sync" --- as ill do all the song/project creation
on the Keys itself, I don't want Abelton's clock to take over.
E) if you now press PLAY, you should hear audio.
F) Set up a (audio) track for the main output.
This will be post effects
H) Now create individual track outputs
Add 4 new audio channels
Press Play and see if the individual channels
are behaving as they should.
