The original Elektron Overbridge software functioned as both an editor for Elektron’s hardware synths and a way to play and monitor them through your DAW. With Elektron’s USB 3.0 Overhub in tow (optionally), users could combine the best of all the company’s synths with an in-the-box workflow.
Overbridge 2 keeps the VST and AU plugins, but adds a standalone app that can edit and even record audio from your analogue or digital Elektron synths, without the need to rely on your DAW.
Another addition is the ability to use your connected Analog Heat, Analog Rytm or Analog Four as external effects processors for audio routed from your DAW.
