Bank Select Red Box is not moving for my Akai APC40 MK2

Post by wolftron80s » Tue Dec 06, 2022 5:01 am

For some reason every time I start up my project on ableton live, the bank select doesn't want to move around on my launch session. i have no clue how to get it to move around on my grid. Can someone please help me out. I use an AKAI APC40 MK2. i tried going back into my preferences and i gotten no where. thanks

I also have this problem, and it's only started happening since I got Ableton 11?
I'm also using a Push 2 so I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

I’m not sure how to screen shot it on here. I’m not sure if there’s something that I have to do on my preferences settings or launch preferences. This is very overwhelming.

You should have it selected as a control sudrface with thew input and output set to the controller, beyond that I'd have to direct you to the manual o the in built lessons within live....

What are your settings in the MIDI preferences tab?

Greetings everyone

I am now noticing that Live no longer seems to be "following" clips launched on the APC40. It used to automatically highight the track of any clip launched on the APC, which I found quite helpful.

Wondering if this has something to do with latest version of Live? It was working as described above until Live updated. I have a screen shot of my MIDI pref's page, but I don't know how to attach it to this post!

Select on Launch needs to be turned on in the settings.

You're absolutely correct! Dilemma solved, with many thanks.

Can you please tell me how I could have attached a screen shot of the settings page? I'm sure to find that useful in future.

Best,
