MIDI Kinetics Forum

I'm having an issue and I'm hoping someone can point me in the correct direction or explain what the heck is going on. I'm trying to create a simple 6 pad clip launcher for Abelton live 9. Nothing fancy, essentially just 6 buttons that when I hit a button in Lemur I want it to start a clip in Abelton live. I've tried setting this up in two different ways. One the 6 "buttons" are set up as custom buttons in Lemur, each sending an individual CC message. The other I set the 6 "buttons" as Pads in Lemur each sending an individual CC message.

The problem I'm having is this. Abelton sees the CC messages being sent to it. It maps just fine to Abelton. But if I try to start a clip while my Abelton session is running I get a second or so pause in Abelton, the triangle on the clip turns white, and then the clip starts. I don't get the glitch every time I try to start a clip, seems to happen mostly the first time I start a clip in the session.

At first I was thinking I may be getting some sort of a midi loop but so I turned off midi to Lemur from Abelton, I still have the issue.

Does anybody have any idea what may be going on here?

Thanks for the help.

Without trying anything:
Have you tried using MidiNote messages instead of CCs? I remember that some things don't work with CCs in Ableton...

I hadn't tried that but I just did and got the same results.

Ahhh I believe I just discovered my issue. It looks like I had a midi loop being caused by an IAC port I was using.

Thanks for the help.
