touch panel + ableton live / midi issue

The Moog Forum Minimoog Forum

Hi all,

I have been playing with my new XL for a week or so now just getting to know it, but its now time to get this thing incorporated into my DAW.

I can record movements made on the touch screen in to live (automation events are displayed in the clips recordings) however when I play back the recorded mid info the voyager dose not respond to it, I am sending and receiving midi on the right ports of my mid interface?

Midi channel in live is # 1 and the voyager is also set to # 1, ins and outs in the master menu are active.

What have I missed?

Thanks in advance :mrgreen:

Does the voyager respond to any other midi that you send it? Or is just ignoring the touch surface CCs? The voyager manual does say that the TS generates a carp ton of midi messages, so maybe your interface cant handle them? Shrug…

If its not responding to any midi, do you have the external instrument plug-in on the same track as the midi clips? Make sure the “midi to” field is set to the correct output jack on your interface. Check the Ableton preferences settings also to make sure that the output jack chosen is set to output (there are three settings, Track, Sync, and Remote i believe?, make sure track is set to on)…

Hope that helps..

Hey Mr Shave, Thanks for your reply mate :smiley:

The voyager dose respond to midi events sent from ableton, all bar the touch surface recordings?

I have all Track, Sync, and Remote selected.

Mmm :question:

G’day bhc303

I too recently got the xl and am using ableton, however mine won’t play back any notes recorded in ableton.

Did you have any luck with yours?

Cheers

Hey mate, Ableton should play back notes, in lives preferences go the midi sync section, make sure track, remote and sync are all ticked in & out.

Check to see if the XL is sending and receiving midi in live via your selected midi ports from your midi interface (ie mine is set to microtlite port 3)

Check to see if live is sending on the same midi channel as the XL (default for live & XL should be 1) the xl can be changed via the menus on the voyager.

I am not in front of ableton, if you need more help I can have a look at the finer detail when I get home from work.

Hope this helps mate

Cheers :wink:

Also make sure in the voyager master menu (1.2) the midi input is set to on.

@BHC303
You have to select the right controller for the directions X,Y and A.
For example: if you want to control the cutoff with direction X the MIDI controller number must be #19.
You can edit the touch surface controller numbers for X,Y,A and the gate in the EDIT menu.
On page 77 in the manual there’s a list of the controller numbers.
Have fun,
Rudi
