for some reason somewhere I'm getting midi feedback (I think) it wasn't there before and the only connection to the synth is a midi in cable. I'll fix it soon I might learn something, I might not. computers - hate 'em. someday something better will come along, it has to, fcuk this siht!!!


cool to see Ableton's International Halp! Force at work. ;)[/quote]


I've had that problem with MIDI gear that isn't quite up to par, like my E-MU MP-7, but only when had it hooked up with both MIID in and out cables. No matter how deep I got into that box, there was no place to completely filter the incoming from passing through to the MIDI out (there's MIDI A & B out but no Thru on the box). If I didn't love the cranky noises that box makes I'd have long since defenestrated it. But MIDI feedback with only an in cable? Here's my only thought - Does Live have a feature to send MIDI metronome clicks? If it does (and if it's on), try turning it off or sending it to a different MIDI channel. Logic has this and it drove me nuts until I found the culprit - took forever to figure it out 'cause it only happened while in record & on this particular synth it sounded more like a loop than a MIDI click
