Hi,

I am having a weird problem in 8.2.6 Live. As I am writing my controller just stops working to trigger live. The little light next to the "D" (by the CPU use meter) lights up so it's getting signal, but it stops triggering any VSTs I have on a track.

The main fix has been to quit live and restart it, which works --- when I restart, my controller can now trigger notes again.

Other attempts at fixing through the preferences, turning the controller off and back on etc, haven't worked. Unplugging the controller and plugging it back in also doesn't fix it.

Anyone have this happen to them?

Any ideas?

Having to restart sucks.

Thanks.

I had a midi controller become disconnected from Live for the first time yesterday.

I'm running 8.2.5 still and it's been almost entirely reliable for me.

I have crashed it a few times, but those were known, well-documented bugs with a third party VST (Z3TA)

The lights were still on but Live didn't recognize it, and yes restarting is the only solution.
