Ableton Forum

After experimenting alot, and making loads of tunes on my hardware synths. I wanted to combine them in one set.
It did not work so well. To switch banks i need to stop playing.
Program changes work on the fly (ie, i change it in live. sound changes to)
They also work when i trigger different midiclips with other program messages.
But somehow i can only change banks by stopping live's playback and then live sends the bankmessage wich i've encluded in every clip.

Can somebody verify this?

Hi,

I could not reproduce this issue here. Could you maybe send a small Liveset to me, showing the problem in action ?

Thanks for yo help,

I'll make another tommorow.
The thing is:
With my roland mc-909 i can export midifiles wich also contain the bank messages. so i'm sure i enter them correct.
when Live is not playing and i have such a midi file in live. when i press play. it will send everything it is supposed to.

If i trigger another clip with a different program message. it will change in realtime.
But when i try triggering a clip with bank/sbank/program, it will only transmit the program message.
So i need to stop and restart Live's playback in order to send the bank/sbank messages to.

Actually. i'll just send you the midi files. You can see every bankmessage is included in each channel.

Nobody else experiencing this?
Everybody can change the patches and banks on their hardware without needing to stop lives playback?
I have only one piece of hardware to try it on. so without any feedback from other users it's hard to make it if the problem is a bug, wrong setting or user mistake.....
