5.13 OVERBRIDGE

This manual primarily focuses on how to use the Analog Heat as a standalone effect. But you can also use
Overbridge to interact with the Analog Heat. The Overbridge software suite enables a tight integration be-
tween the Analog devices (Analog Rytm, Analog Keys, Analog Four, Analog Heat) and a computer DAW.
N.B. You must have Analog Heat OS 1.02 or later, and Overbridge 1.15 or later to run Overbridge with
Analog Heat.
Overbridge allows you to use the Analog Heat as a VST/AU plugin for analog distortion and filter processing
in your DAW.
It also has a librarian for a clear overview of your presets and gives the ability to load, edit, and save them.
When using the Overbridge setup, the user interface for your Analog device will present itself as a clearly
laid out plug-in window in your DAW. Browse through and organize presets. Access, edit or automate pa-
rameters for sound shaping on screen. Always find your device preset parameters in the same state as you
left them when you return to your DAW project, with the convenient total recall functionality.
You need an Analog Heat, a USB cable, a computer running Overbridge, and a DAW.
If you want to hook up multiple machines to a computer, you must use a USB hub. We suggest the Elektron
Overhub, tailored for Overbridge use. It is Multi-TT hub and thereby also supports older Elektron machines.
Overbridge is available as a complimentary download on the Elektron website. Please read the Overbridge
manual (also available on the Elektron website, Support section) to learn more about its uses and capabilities.
Once installed, for Overbridge to work together with your Analog Heat, do the two following two things:
First - Make sure the OS of your Analog Heat, and the OS of Overbridge, match. Simply put, always have
the most recent OS installed on both computer and device. You find the latest versions of both operating
systems included with the Overbridge Suite download package.
Second - set your Analog Heat device to Overbridge mode. You will find this setting in the SETTINGS >
SYSTEM > USB CONFIG menu. Press [YES] to tick the OVERBRIDGE box. For more information, please
see "6.6.1 USB CONFIG" on page 19.
For more detailed information about installing and using Overbridge, please see the Overbridge User Manual
that you can download from the Elektron website.

6.1 INPUT SENSITIVITY

Sets the audio input level to fit the audio level sent to the effect via the IN L/R inputs. It is important to set
this level correctly to get the best sound from your Analog Heat. There are four different settings for the
input sensitivity: LOW, MID, HIGH & MAX. Low is the most silent, Max is the loudest. For more information,
please see "3.2 SETTING THE INPUT SENSITIVITY LEVEL" on page 10.
• LOW (Maximum input level 10,5 V, peak to peak)
• MID (Maximum input level 5,3 V, peak to peak)
