midi over gone??

Post by theinfinate » Mon Sep 10, 2012 10:25 am

So i've noticed quite a few times that my midi over button is not accessible. When i click on it it doesn't highlight so i have to close down ableton and start it again then everything is fine. Does anyone have this same problem??

Do you have some kind of control surface script loaded that might be affect the overdub switch?

Try disabling it (choose "None" in the control surface type chooser in MIDI preferences) and see if your problem goes away. This isn't a solution as I know you'll want to use your APC, but it'll help isolate the problem.

Alternately: is anything MIDI mapped to the overdub switch? Hit Ctrl/cmd+M and see if anything is.

ok thanx i'l try that next time it happens, it hasn't happened for about a week now so it seems completely random for when i do an ableton restart, the problem goes away. The only thing i map to it is sometimes the letter o
