MIDI Mapping Problem with Roland PC-300

[randy]

Hi,

I have been playing around with Ableton Live 6 LE M-Audio Enhanced Edition (6.0.10), and I actually like it a lot! I am using a Roland Edirol PC-300 keyboard (don't ask). This keyboard has a data entry slider, which can send on any MIDI control channel. By default it sends CC07 (master volume) - which works perfectly with Logic, but not in Live.

In Live, I click on MIDI at the top right corner, then I select one of the knobs or faders highlighted in blue. I move the data entry slider, but no new entry in the MIDI mappings browser appears. I do see the little MIDI indicator at the very top right flashing when I move the slider, but the MIDI control indicator (between the keys and MIDI buttons) stays dark. I tried using different CC, but nothing changed.

So, how come I cannot use this slider at all in Live? What am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,
Randy

In the Live preferences/Midi-Sync be sure to activate the "remote" button in the list "track / sync / remote".

Thanks to DW at Ableton support for solving my problem in 4 (!) minutes! I'm impressed..!
