One Tributary can sum the outputs you switch on, onto the MPC track it sits on.
The switches come from the connected machine. A Digitone II still shows MAIN, ACTIVE, 1–16, DLY, REV, CHO, and IN. A Digitakt, Syntakt, or the other listed machines show their own names. A fresh copy starts with Main on. An older project that saved a single source opens with only that output on, so leave Main off when you are splitting the machine across tracks.
The USB cushion is the one measured on a Digitone II: about 4 ms behind the newest sample, walked back gently when it drifts.
CPU bench on an MPC One running MPC OS 3.9.1.2: worst p99 2.5% of one audio block, worst block 5.1%, verdict PASS.
The armv7 zip is for a 32-bit MPC (One, Live, X, Force). The aarch64 zip is for a 64-bit MPC. Both were packed with sd88me/mpc-vst-plugins tools/release.py and passed tools/catalog_check.py --catalog.

Digitone II is the machine this has been heard on. Other Overbridge devices are listed and untested.
- One stereo pair, or one mono channel copied to both sides, on the track the plugin sits on. Copies share one USB read.
- Use the MPC as the clock. Clock from the Digitone wobbles, because it shares the USB cable with the audio.
- A few milliseconds of latency remains. The plugin cannot delay the other tracks.
- This zip is the 32-bit ARM build. Its installer writes
pluginList-arm. The same source builds for AArch64; that package writespluginList-arm-64bit. - GPL-3. Channel maps are facts from Overwitch by David García Goñi, also GPL-3.
