Re: MIDI Keyboard: Fix For Jittery, Erratic ModWheel?

I will want to decide between 3 solutions:

1) In Live, use a MIDI device chain: Expression Control followed by CC Control (seems to work, though cumbersome)
2) Thoroughly cleanse the MIDI keyboard
3) Purchase a new keyboard (as the Axiom is 14 years old anyway, some sliders and encoders act up, too ...

MIDI Keyboard: Fix For Jittery, Erratic ModWheel?

My old M-Audio Axiom Advanced MIDI keyboard controller has an impaired ModWheel that sends erratic, jittery output on its own, generating unexpected values in CC 1, usually between ca. 1 and 7. So, not very high numbers, but it disrupts the flow (e.g. with Kontakt libraries).

I own Ableton Live 12 ...

Re: MIDI clip border inaccuracies in arranger - an issue for you too?

Will have to test that when it comes up again (which is infrequent).

Sometimes it becomes evident when I hover the mouse over a MIDI clip and look at the status bar at the bottom of the screen. It would display an odd value clip length there which doesn't correspond to the pertinent MIDI clip even ...

MIDI clip border inaccuracies in arranger - an issue for you too?

THIS ISSUE CONCERNS MIDI CLIPS.

I asked Artificial Intelligence (duckduckgo.com / GPT 5 mini) about my issue (Clip border inaccuracies in arrangement view). I wanted to know whether this is real. This is the reply I get which coincides with the particular problem I get at times:

Live 12 Suite: How's the CPU Impact of Stock Plugins/Devices?

Hello all,

I am thinking about upgrading my Live 12 Standard to Suite. I need to know beforehand:

How is the CPU impact of the stock plugins (devices) in Suite like Operator, Sampler, Granulator III or Wavetable?
I am asking this because I just have a Macbook Air M2 (with passive cooling) that ...

Live 11: My HW synth doesn't receive the CC's as in Live 10.

On Intel Mac, I controlled my hardware synthesizer Sequential Prophet-600 by means of a self-created Reaktor 6 editor/manager via MIDI CC.
In Ableton Live 10.1.43 using Reaktor 5, I was able to forward synth parameter settings to the hardware device just fine.

However, on a Silicon Mac in Ableton ...

Re: Synth1 on MAC OS BigSur

Same Synth1 white interface behavior here (VSTi and AUi) on Mojave since updating Live 10 to 10.1.35 from 10.1.30.
They clearly broke something while making Live 10 Big Sur compatible.

VST Parameter Changes Won't Update the Corresponding Device Macros

Long standing unexpected behavior (since at least Live 9) still present in Live 10.1 (Standard), likely also in Live 10.1.2b5:
If you change a parameter on a third-party VST GUI panel, the corresponding enclosing Ableton group device macro won't be updated.
I tested this in MacOS Mojave, 10.14.6 ...

Re: Height of Arrangement Overview Not Restored with Set (Live 10.1)

I didn't have the H and W key status in mind. That's not what I meant.
I mean the element ABOVE the arrangement that consists of one thin line for each respective track. The height of this element is not resized with the H key, but dynamically with the mouse.

Will already confirmed that finding as ...

Height of Arrangement Overview Not Restored with Set (Live 10.1)

As the thread title says:
Live 10.1 Doesn't Restore Vertical Height of Arrangement Overview With the Set.
(Here on MacOS with Live 10.1 Standard)

This is unexpected behavior:
