AUDIO BRIDGE / HARDWARE GUIDE
Multitrack USB audio.
Know your channels.
Record your USB hardware on separate DAW tracks while keeping your main audio interface selected. Receive brings the channels into your session; Send provides a return path to hardware with USB audio inputs.
These are hardware specifications, not a compatibility certification. The device must appear in macOS Core Audio, with a supported driver where required. USB MIDI alone does not carry audio.

Manufacturer-documented USB audio. Not yet tested with Audio Bridge.Manufacturer documentation ↗Looking for “Overbridge for TE OP-1F”?
Audio Bridge offers a plugin-based USB audio workflow for OP-1 field and other Core Audio hardware. It does not provide Elektron Overbridge’s device-specific editors, preset management or integration. It is an independent product, with no affiliation to Elektron, teenage engineering or the manufacturers listed here.
Use one Receive instance per device, with up to 30 audio channels per instance. The available channels depend on the hardware, firmware, USB mode and driver. This does not add channels that the device does not expose.
