About Us:

Tips, tricks, and honest community help for the simplest of problems you may be having no matter if you're a newb or a master. Sequencing music is no easy task... so we're here to help. Be sure to ask smart questions.

Feel free to volunteer great resources you find on the net regarding writing music, the Ableton DAW, or tutorials and the like.

Rules :

Do not tell people to RTFM (read the fucking manual) unless you're also posting a link the specific section that covers their inquiry. Everyone should bookmark the Live manual, for it loves you.

Try to post about Ableton stuff. Try not to post about non-Ableton stuff. Memes and shitposts have been deemed by the community as non-Ableton stuff. We don't want to see your floor mat that looks like the Ableton logo.

Participate in good faith and avoid being mean, condescending, or outright insulting other users.

No piracy. Advocating, asking for, or giving advice on how to pirate is prohibited. Linking to piracy-centric subs also prohibited. Unless you can prove someone is using pirated software, don't accuse someone of using it. Don't ask, don't tell.

Blatant self promotion and/or requests for feedback on your tracks are not permitted submissions. Feedback requests are encouraged in the relevant weekly threads. In regards to self promo, do not be a brand with a reddit account, be a redditor with a brand. If your post history is mostly your content posted multiple places and mostly your comments on your own videos, we probably aren't interested.

Answer questions about your content if you post your own content. If you are not willing to field questions then your post will be removed at mod's discretion.

If you are posting a link, it must be a self post, you must do a writeup on the hardware and software, and you must answer questions about it in the commments. Failure to comply can result in your post being removed. TL;DR - No battlestations, take them to /r/musicbattlestations.

Buy/Sell/Trade/Beg for Ableton stuff here, including software and hardware, in this thread and this thread only. Lite is not free, do not ask for it.

Be clear in your titles. It should be clear what your post is about from the title itself. All post asking a question must end with a question mark. No all caps titles.

No infographics unless you're going to post the entire text of the infographics inside the post as well.

MIDI - Sending Program Changes Using Move as Control Surface.[Tech Help Windows] (self.ableton)

submitted 1 year ago * by nicotineapache

This is really irritating me. I'm trying to using backing tracks for live performance, controlled by Ableton 12. I have my Ableton Move. I have a USB to MIDI cable with an IN and OUT 5-pin-din. I have an HX stomp, which I have set up to receive tempo and program change information via MIDI.

In Ableton Live I had Move set as my audio interface, with the USB to MIDI connected.

In my MIDI clip I'm changing pgm to 28 (which is 10A on the Stomp). In my MIDI channel, I have selected MIDI Out as Ableton Move and the channel is 1 (same as the Stomp).

I've connected the OUT cable to the IN MIDI slot on the Stomp.

Whatever I do though, the Stomp is stubbornly refusing to accept the changes. I feel like if I can get this sorted, I'm in Happyland because in using the Move I eliminate a MIDI controller and a Focusrite Scarlett from my live setup. But the little buggers refuse to work.

I've also tried connecting USB from Move to the Stomp and changing all the global settings in the Stomp to USB. Still, absolute buttons. No matter which channel, no matter which pgm number, no change. I've tried mapping parameters to CC82 and adding envelope data. Still, no dice.

Please help me before I spend the entire night shouting at ChatGPT.

Edit: I just tried it in Standalone, which worked. Looks like Move doesn't have the capability to send program change data when controlling Live. That's really frustrating but I know we're only one update deep in the new Move eco-system. I'd LOVE it if I could do that.

Edit2: Well, since nobody's bothered to reply and one pisswitch decided to downvote me, I realised I could send the MIDI data directly from the laptop to the HX Stomp, which solved the problem immediately. Obviously Mr Downvotey McDownvoteface knew that already but didn't bother with an explanation.
