MIDI issue - Help please!

Post by bbhaggy3 » Mon Jan 09, 2023 11:28 pm

Hi everyone,

I have just got Ableton Lite 11 and am having a really strange problem using my built in MAC keyboard for midi input.

When I first start a session, the Mac keyboard works fine (using A,S,D etc...) and I can hear the sound coming through. But as I start to build a set, adding more MIDI tracks, the keyboard just stops working for midi input. I have tried everything; The track in question is armed, the keyboard icon is selected, there is nothing wrong with my sound settings and the keys are not mapped to anything else, I have the monitoring turned on auto, I haven't accidentally been changing the octaves with Z and X... My current fix is just to start a new set. But even then, it doesn't always start working first time.

Has anyone experienced this problem or have any suggestions as to how to resolve as it's driving me crazy!

Many thanks,
