No sent midi from my Virus Ti

Post by the girl next door » Wed Apr 04, 2007 11:21 pm

Hi Peps,
I am trying to send midi from my Virus Ti desktop to Live via USB..The Virus Control works Ok through USB even when tweaked..But i can't get Ti midi sent for tweaking Live controls (The yellow midi light isn't coming on when i tweak my Ti knobs) i have the Ti activated in pref midi section but still nothing..
Any ideas ???????????

Have you checked to see if Local on/off is set on your Ti? I'm not much of a midi guru hence using live but I remember that local on/off option can cause issues... You could have a bad cable as well...

Local On/Off doesnt affect sending of midi.

I think you've got to put it in remote mode otherwise it just will use the virus control.

have you actually assigned the knobs to send a certain CC? by default they send nothing.

Also, enable Remote IN in the Ableton MIDI settings for TI Synth

next step i'd take would be to check to see if the midi receive lights are active in Live when you twist the knob... If not, then i'd crack open Midi Ox and see if the TI actually is sending midi.
