## Functionality

Each Elektron Overbridge device typically exposes all individual track/voice

channels as separate USB Audio channels, for multi-track recording into DAWs.
Some Elektron Overbridge devices such as the Analog Rytm and Analog Four also
allow you to route audio from a computer host into individual track audio paths
for intricate processing. The Analog Heat acts entirely as a sound processing
unit. The plugin routes audio from your computer host, through the effects chain
and back into the host. All Elektron Overbridge devices allow you to play audio
from the computer host directly to the device's main output, making the device
act as a sound card for playing back music etc.

The Overbridge Control Panel application is bundled together with the drivers,
providing a simple channel monitor for your devices.

### USB Audio drivers for Windows and macOS

The USB Audio Drivers will expose Audio and MIDI-interfaces for Elektron
Overbridge devices. On Windows, WDM and ASIO audio interfaces are provided. On
macOS, HAL and CoreAudio audio interfaces are provided.

### Standalone Editor for Windows and macOS

The Standalone Editor allows for controlling the Overbridge enabled devices
parameters via a GUI desktop application and also manage sounds and samples on
the device. The Overbridge Engine handles all USB communication between your
connected Elektron device and the standalone editor.

### Plugins for Windows (VST) and macOS (VST/AU)

The Plugin allows for controlling the Overbridge enabled devices and stream
audio via a VST Plugin. This makes it possible to sequence, sync and automate
the device with your DAW. Audio will be streamed to the plugin making it
possible to use your audio interface of choice in your DAW while still receiving
audio from your unit. The Overbridge Engine handles all USB communication
between your connected Elektron device and the VST Plugin.
