xy pad overriding Ableton automation

I am running into a strange issue though that I'm sure there is a simple work around for. When I record the xy coordinates as automation data in ableton, as long as I still have lemur running on my ipad lemur seems to continuously broadcast the current midi cc values or something as I cannot get Live to read the automation data that has been recorded, I have to constantly hit the BACK TO ARRANGEMENT button in Live to get it to prioritize the recorded automation over that coming in from the lemur even though I am not touching my ipad, is there a way to get the lemur to only send out those values while my finger is on it?

Not sure what has went wrong but Im quite sure, all objects in Lemur only transmit messages when certain parameters are changed - for the multiball that would be x,y,z. If those are not changing the object does not transmit messages.

Hi
So what object are you using for the x-y ? And how have you set it up?

If it is a MultiBall and you are using Ephemeral and low Friction it will continue to send stuff even when it disappears . . .
Change the Friction or gate of the z var . . .
