MIDI SYNC - no input and ouput options- no midi ports availa

[psycodelic cowboy]

In the midi sync preferences there is only an option to input a control surface, the input and output is dimmed and also there is no midi ports showing.....This is in live 8.... my live 7 has no prob with this.....I am trying to use my m audio xsession pro and its not showing with live 8......anyone out there have the answer to my problem????

Is it available under control surface? Does Live 7 have UserConfiguration.txt set up for controls on the controller? Only thing I can think of. I don't know/use such an item so I would be of little help beyond these suggestions.

Hi
I am having the same problem, my Korg Triton is not showing at all. It will light up the midi light on my 828 firewire interface when i tap the keys but the midi sync tab in preferences is all grey apart from control surface options.
Any help please?posting.php?mode=reply&f=1&t=183343#

sax1e,

You need to check how you have your 828 configured as MIDI interface. That's what needs to show up in the Live preferences.

Hi
Thanks for the reply
I have spent hours trying with all configurations. If I click on the use computer keyboard button in Live I can get my midi sound working ok but still nothing from my Korg. I know it must be something simple ?
