Digitone Keys shows up as Digitone in GUI/Jack

[szszoke]

I got a Digitone Keys to see if it can replace the Digitone and a MIDI keyboard.

The CLI is able to tell it apart from a Digitone:

$ overwitch-cli -l
0: Digitone (ID 1935:0014) at bus 001, address 020
1: Digitone Keys (ID 1935:001c) at bus 001, address 016

When I start overwitch both show up as Digitone. This is also true for the nodes created in Jack.

It is also the same if I just start an overwitch instance for the Digitone Keys alone:

$ overwitch-cli -n 1

$ lsusb | grep Elektron
Bus 001 Device 020: ID 1935:0014 Elektron Music Machines Elektron Digitone
Bus 001 Device 016: ID 1935:001c Elektron Music Machines Elektron Digitone Keys

This is with only the Digitone Keys plugged in:

$ overwitch-cli -n 0 -v

It looks like the Digitone Keys is reporting itself as Digitone.

Would it be possible to take the device name from the JSON file that contains the device descriptors?

It's even better.

Just double click on the name in the Overwitch table and rename it as you want. This changes the internal Overbridge name the devices stores and its value is kept after rebooting.

Let me know if this works because it's been a long time since I implemented this.

[szszoke]

It worked! I should have RTFM.

[dagargo]

No worries. Probably nobody tested this besides myself and needed to be done.

Glad it's working for you. 🚀
