Hi guys, I'm trying to midi map my A-300 pro in Ableton, but its not working! The midi indicator light is flashing in the top right, and the keyboard plays notes as it should etc, however it wont map anything.

On the ableton website in midi faq's they mention this problem, and suggest the following work around:

Live will not learn a specific MIDI control from my MIDI device even though Live indicates MIDI input. Why doesn't it work?

Some MIDI controllers, such as some touch-sensitive motorized faders, can send complex MIDI messages. The control may be sending a MIDI message when it is first touched or moved and another message when the control is released. Live may not assign the control correctly because it is learning the last MIDI message that it receives. Below is a solution for controls that have this behavior:

Turn on MIDI Map Mode in Live.
Select the parameter you want to control.
Touch and hold the control on the MIDI device.
Turn off MIDI Map Mode.
Release the control on the MIDI device.

I've tried this and it still isn't working.

Does anybody have any suggestions to solve this problem?

Many thanks in advance

James

How are your Ableton preferences set up? Make sure the 'remote' button is set to on.
