Hi I have a frustrating problem. My midi keyboard and computer keyboard will not play midi notes when "All Ins" is selected. I have to select the specific controller or keyboard to make it receive the information. Any ideas?

I have the green light flashing in the top right so the signal is the there.

Hi, what settings do you have for the controllers under Preferences->MIDI?

Hi David,

Thanks for replying, here's the screen shot:

Sure its something simple, not sure if the monomulator has messed with the settings

Thanks

Is your keyboard plugging in through the Edirol FA-101? If so, you'll want to make sure you have "track" and "remote" enabled on the MIDI input for it.

Hi,

No its not. Its really strange, even my computer keyboard won't play unless I specifically select 'Computer Keyboard' from 'Midi From'.

?

Perhaps its something to do with my iac drivers i set up for monomulator.

Please see this for my setup:

Does it need to be changed?

A thought - are you arming (or enabling MIDI Monitor "In") on the tracks with the instruments that you want to control? Also, what MIDI keyboard are you trying to use with Live, and how are you setting it up to input MIDI to Live?

Hi David,

Its all set up correctly. It used to work fine. I drag a midi instrument into a midi channel and use my computer keyboard to make sound. But its like its internally mix wired.

I'm using my virus ti for midi controller but it must be related if the computer keyboard doesnt work either.

Is it something to do with the IAC driver setup in the photo?

It might be - you'll want to contact Ableton Technical Support about this: http://www.ableton.com/support. Please include the details that you've shared here.
