Midi not passing through with Cirklon possibly since 11.3.2

Post by weston underwood » Sat May 27, 2023 5:00 pm

Hopefully someone can help my niche situation?

Using Live, got some hardware synths connected to my cirklon. Cirklon ins and outs ticked in setup.

Using external instrument; select eg cirklon port 1, channel 1. Correct audio channel selected. Track armed.

Nothing at all!

Tests;
-works perfectly if I do the same with any of my USB connected synths (just the cirklon where there's nothing).
-Also the same set up in Logic works perfectly. Synth plays fine from Cirklon.
-Playing keyboard with local on produces sound via Live

I've restarted every thing I can think of.

What's odd is that I think it was working yesterday and am wondering if it's stopped working since I restarted and 11.3.1 became 11.3.2 this morning?

Cheers

So, remembered I had the old version on my laptop. Used that, everything worked fine.

I have two Cirklons; named 'New Cirklon' and 'Old Cirklon'. Somehow the new version 11.3.2 has swapped them around so that although the synths remained connected to their original Cirklon the names we wrong. So I just went and swapped new for old. Definitely a bug though!

Same issue, but with MIDIShaper from Cableguys :(

EDIT: mine might be a different issue, as I didn't realize Cirklon was ext hardware. Still, no MIDI pass thru is no bueno.

Maybe it's sending it out on a different midi port? Might we worth just going through the ports until you hit the right one? I suspect it wasn't an internal/external issue but a counting issue somewhere along the line. Odd though to have a transposition rather than error of 1+ or 1-?

The latest build appears to have many problems.

I wish I had never allowed Ableton to auto-update itself.

My guess is its a problem with the Ableton update and nothing of yours specifically.
