Hello! I am trying to launch scenes using an Ion iED04 midi drum pad. THe problem is that one pad is set to stop all clips and the vibrations from the stage are false triggering this pad. IS there a way to set the midi to control LIVE's operation only past a certain velocity? For example over 64 velocity so any stage rumble won't trigger the buttons' midi signal. THis would take care of the false triggering due to stage rumble. Anyone know how to set this up? The iED04 has only very basic features and no "fixed velocity" setting, which would take care of this problem...
Thanks in advance for any help.

Anyone? I am struggling with this. Any help would be really appreciated...

well, you could use something like loopbe and midiox in front of live to do this... or something like edrummonitor.. i think any of those would take care of it.

are there no crosstalk settings on the box?

Interesting. I didn't realize I could intercept the MIDI info and manipulate it before it reached LIVE. I am on a Mac so the options are diminished for software. I checked MidiPipe but it didn't seem to work on my first attempt. I am gonna look down this road a little further. Thanks for the heads up!

it's just midi, nothing special.

have you tried the lo-tec solutions too? put the ied04 stand on carpet or foam pad?

Yeah, this thing gets vibrated on the littlest bumps. Even with foam it would be unreliable as it is currently. OF course it would be a big drag if things started getting triggered unexpectedly during a show too.

I'll keep checking the MIDI filter software option. Thanks for the ideas!
