Hello

I am having problems getting more than midi channel 1 working in ableton whilst using kontakt player 4 and the evolve mutations soundpack.

I am using midi yoke.



it is setup in ableton as :

I setup 2 midi tracks

In midi track 1 I drag and drop noatikl

I then load up a simple 3 voice midi file, make sure the midi output is going to midi yoke 1 and sync is ticked

I then drag to midi track 2 the kontact player and load up 3 instrument voices

I make sure on the midi track it is receiving from midi yoke 1 and set channel to all midi channels

I then setup in the player the 3 midi channel numbers (A1 to A3) - the only options I have are omni or midi from host A (1 to 16), the rest (B etc) are disabled

I then arm the track and press play

Only midi channel 1 is being seen

Now either the player is limited to 1 midi channel ( I cannot see any mention of this anywhere, unless it is buried) or it does not like the way midi is handled by software midi cable yokes


I am stumped

even using the midi monitor display in the player only shows midi data coming in on A 1 (even though I have set noatikl to only use midi channel 1 and in the ableton midi track I have incoming from midi yoke 1 and midi channel 2)

any ideas?

thanks

correction to above

in noatikl I have set the voices to midi channel 2

outgoing is to midi yoke 1

in the kontact player I have set the instruments to see midi channel 2 : A 2

now in the player midi monitor display it is only showing information coming from midi channel 1 : A 1

so not sure what is going on

Searching the Live manual for 'multi-timbral' reveals this:

One MIDI track hosts the multi-timbral instrument, and additional MIDI tracks are
used to feed its individual parts. Each additional MIDI track has its Output Type chooser
pointed to the track that contains the instrument, and its Output Channel chooser referenc-
ing the target MIDI channel.
