Elektron Overbridge

Overbridge is almost ready! Preliminary Public open beta is said to be launched May 2015

What is Overbridge?

Elektron’s new “Overbridge” is a unique piece of software that allows total, seamless integration of their Analog synthesizers and drum Machines like the Analog Four and RYTM into a computer DAW VIA VSTi’s. This is a first of its kind and looks impressive.

Overbridge is something Elektron users have been eagerly waiting for this release - ever since Elektron announced it.

It allows you to record multiple analog parts to separate DAW tracks VIA a single USB cable. You can also feed digital sounds from the computer into your analog devices without any latency or timing issues. You will be able to edit your sounds from the VSTi and sequence in your preferred DAW. Both Mac and PC platforms will be supported.

When a DAW project is loaded, Elektron machine settings are automatically loaded as well. Management of analog sounds has never been easier.
