Elektron has announced version 1.15 of Overbridge, their software suite that allows full DAW integration for compatible Elektron hardware.  Most notably, Overbridge 1.15 adds support for the stereo analog sound processor Analog Heat. In addition to this, Overbridge 1.15 adds macOS Sierra support, along with a host of other improvements and fixes, for the Analog Rytm and Analog Keys/Four software. Here's some details direct from Elektron...

In order for Analog Heat, Analog Rytm and Analog Keys/Four to take advantage of Overbridge 1.15, new firmware for the products has also been made available.

Overbridge for Analog Heat
With Overbridge, Analog Heat can essentially be handled just like a software VST/AU plugin. All parameters are accessible from a beautiful and streamlined graphical user interface and all audio can be conveniently streamed between Analog Heat and DAW via USB. Overbridge even allows the Analog Heat to be used as a 2 in/2 out sound card.
