Ableton & the new Windows MIDI Services
Posted: Thu Feb 05, 2026 12:13 pm
Hi all,
Will Ableton Live 12 be aware of the new Windows MIDI Services (https://microsoft.github.io/MIDI/) or is this something that will come in the next version of Live?
I've had a challenge where a couple of my synths are not recognised when I first open Live. I have to either disable/re-enable MIDI for the affected devices or restart Live for those synths to be seen after every system boot.
Live support said this was a 'Program Usability' issue, not a bug.
I'm hoping the new MIDI stack will fix the issue.
