Years ago I bought into the Virus Ti, DAW integration was the big deal. It never worked properly, slowed my productivity and destroyed my enjoyment of making music for nearly a year. I tried Overbridge for a few hours and walked away.

Yeah, I feel that. Really the main draw for me was breaking out the individual tracks on the Digitone (without ponying up for the Digitone Keys, which I don’t have room for) but I thought I’d try the other supposed advantages.
It’s just grief. I discovered it was OB that was causing Live to crash when opening projects as well. Lesson learned.
The class compliant audio over USB that the Elektrons have now is actually great, mind. It’s brilliant with the Model:Cycles. Just plug it in, select it as the interface, it syncs to tempo and transport, just record some stuff and get on with your life.

Cheers, been enjoying dipping a toe into modular, just need more time & money!
It’s working alright with a more Ableton-y hybrid setup right now, the multiclock syncs everything and I clock/sequence the modular from the Digitone or one of the other Elektrons. I can do long takes and then muck about with it after and do a mix of hardware and software parts.
Don’t know why it’s taken me so long to get a daw setup working smoothly enough for this, but there we go. Overbridge was a bust for me, my sync was mad laggy.
