vst in ableton 9.6

Ive dropped the plug in onto a midi track and have the editor in a window I am not sure what to put in the editor settings midi in and midi out dropdowns. at present with a clip added and input to track set as all ins when i press a pad on the push 2 the plug in isnot receiving the midi, despite the monitor in being on and ableton showing a presence.

maybe someone can assist so i can check this plug in out within ableton.

if i add a midi track and just set all ins and send the midi output in ableton to the sub then the sub plays fine without the vst.

Hi. Maybe Amos’s tutorial for Minitaur and Ableton will help you set it up correctly. The way Sub 37 is used should be similar.

There is something strange ableton can see the sub 37 as an in and an out under midi preferences but does not show the midi input when i add the external instrument, the only choice there is sub 37 out which of course is the wrong choice.

I am using the latest 9.6 ableton 32 bit and the latest firmware under the beta program.

Did you install the USB driver (for Windows) ?

I dont believe i did I know that it wasnt necessary in one of the early beta products.

Well, you should. Let me know if it helps ?

I just checked and yes the usb driver shows in win 10 control panel as 3.30.0

so something strange here.

could the names be reversed as when i look at the ableton dropdown for midi from it says sub37 midi in, maybe that should say sub 37 midi out, and the external instrument choice for out says sub 37 midi out when i think it should read sub 37 midi in.

hopefully i found a bug, unless i am being dense today.

here is a link so you see what i mean… https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0N9blUzO0wuaHFvX3dtZWJyS0U/view?usp=sharing

I see what you mean. Yes, this was a question we were dealing with a while ago, and it’s actually by design.

It seems that the standard with other popular devices is having the ports named as in for in and out for out, as if you were looking from the audio card’s aspect rather than the device’s. Amos has decided to stick with the popular scheme, which should probably be easier to understand and will match the behavior of similar drivers.

Confusing for ableton users but anyway that’s not relevant here as your aware of this oddity.
