How can I enable my keyboard (Key 49 USB Midi keyboard) while editing a Midi clip in arrangement view?
For example hitting som keys to find out a nice chord.
The keyboard is enabled (green indicator at the top right of the screen is on)

For example:

- I drop a MIDI piano to the arrangement view
- I insert a MIDI clip
- Double click on the clip so I get the clip editor
- Enable the Preview
- I hear piano sound while clicking the keys in the clip view
- Now I want to use the keyboard...

Even in Session view I not always get sound when I "arm" a clip for recording. I do get sound by hitting the keys in the clip view.

Any suggestions?

(Live version 8.2.7)

I found an extra options to show an "arm track" buttons at the right of the tracks: Show/hide mixed section.
When I hit the button I was able to arm for example the piano track and play it instrument by using the midi keyboard.

I asume this is the way?

that's the way I do it at least. sounds like you answered your own question
