Overbridge and Mac OS sequoia

Has anyone managed to make it work? I installed it, but when I open it it says I need to allow it to install usb drives under security and privacy.
But if I go in security and privacy there’s nothing (usually there’s a “permission” section in those cases that doesn’t pop up with overbridge tho).

Any solutions that you know of?

i had previous versions installed and latest installed fine…although i just tried the engine icon and get the same message.

have you tried with a device plugged in?

Tried both with a device plugged in and not, same thing. Installation was fine here too

I had the same problem and solved reinstalling Overbridge.
While installing pay attention at all popups, one in particular opens this window

Here you can enable the engine.

If you miss the pop up, you find it under System Settings > General > Login Items & Extensions. Toggle on Elektron Music Machines MAV AB.

ive never seen that before… or the driver extention on/off …
i just clicked driver extension and ‘overbridge installed’ popped up…
perhaps that cropped up with the release version…

Thousand thanks to everyone! Yeah I missed the popup during installation, it’s solved now!

anyone noticed the Transfer should be 1.8.11 but the download goes to 1.8.10, and the direct link for 1.8.11 not working?
I want to upgrade the OS but Transfer not seeing the rytm and the “new version available” constantly at the top

the 1.8.10 looks like from older cycle

I installed Everything, Engine is on, no luck, Digitakt II still won’t connect to OB

if you upgrade OB before you upgrade the firmware on any elektron device it won’t connect through usb until its upgraded to the latest. On Win and OSX…

Did you activate overbridge via usb on the dt2?

Yes to both, overbridge is activated in the settings. First updated firmware, then installed OB.

I’ve done the same with my M2 Air. Updated the firmware, installed OB, enable the Elektron item in Login Items, enable USB CFG>OVERBRIDGE on the DTII, uninstalled OB, rebooted, re-installed OB–still no connection to OB. wtf

you fixed this? I have the same issue

No, I’ve had to give up.

I finally found out how to activate the overbridge driver in Sequoia. Apple moved the driver extension settings away from the Security and Privacy tab. Go to Settings -> General -> Login Objects & Extensions. There are now 2 things on this Screen: First the “Allow in the Background” section, someone else posted above, which should contain the “Elektron Music Machines MAV AB” object. This should be activated. Second, if you scroll down on this screen there should also be a section called “Extensions”, one entry should say “Driver Extensions” or something like this. Click the information (i) button, there you can activate the overbridge driver.

I think all of this has been mentioned but handy to have it in one place

Ideally it’s done by the installer … I guess it will be eventually.

You definitely got latest firmwares, transfer and overbridge downloads ?

Do you have any overbridge icons on the top menu bar - near speaker / Wi-Fi etc ?

Tried running the standalone apps for each device ?

And devices are set to usb - overbridge ?
