Elektron Digitakt Available For PreOrder And Overbridge Basic vs Premium

Fab, March 15, 2017March 17, 2017


A couple of months after the announcement at NAMM, the Elektron Digitakt is available for preorder from the company’s website (and it showed up in some of the main online retailers as well).

You can also try an interactive demo version of the instrument on the Elektron’s website (not nearly as fun as having it on your desk, but better than nothing I guess). There’s also a new promotional video, but honestly that one is a bit too hipstery for my personal taste.

Price And Overbridge Basic vs Premium

The price is a bit higher than what we heard at NAMM (€769 vs. $650), but still lower than any other Elektron machine.
Speaking of money dirty money, Elektron also announced that Overbridge for Digitakt comes in two variants: Basic (free) and Premium ($69/€79).

The Premium version allows full integration of Digitakt with DAW environments (total recall, etc.) and the use of the instrument as 2/in 2/out audio interface plus the streaming of the eight internal tracks to separate DAW tracks.

Thankfully, Overbridge for Analog Heat, Analog Rytm, and Analog Keys/Four is (and remains) free of charge.

Overbridge Premium Highlights

  • Fully integrate Digitakt with DAW environments
  • Control Digitakt with a dedicated VST/AU plugin interface
  • Use Digitakt as a 2 in/2 out sound card (CoreAudio/ASIO/WDM)
  • Stream the eight internal tracks to separate DAW tracks (24 bit/48 kHz)
  • Recall all Digitakt settings when loading a DAW project
  • Plus all features of Overbridge Basic

Overbridge Basic Highlights

  • Sample manager/librarian functionality
  • MIDI over USB
  • Digitakt sequencer/DAW sync
  • Computer screen visualization of Digitakt parameters
  • Audio streaming of Main outs over USB (time limited sessions)

The higher price and the Premium version of Overbridge won’t be exactly what prospective Digitakt buyers expected to hear – I can already see some heated debates on social networks as I type – but I’m still looking forward to adding the Digitakt to my setup. How about you?
