I have everything set up exactly the same way in my Analog 4 and Ableton and everything syncs perfectly, you can trigger notes from Ableton to A4 easily and it all works perfectly. I have the Rytm set up exactly as I have the Analog 4 for sync and midi, yet when I try to trigger notes from Ableton to Rytm, nothing happens. I can play patterns when I click sync out in Ableton but when I unclick that and try only triggering midi, nothing happens. As I said with everything set exactly the same way in A4 I can trigger notes from Ableton easily, I have have been trying to figure this out for weeks but nothing works, I have to classify this as a bug unless someone out there was able to get it working.
Unlikely it’s a bug - probably has to do with your setup.
Are you sending the notes from Ableton to the correct channel and/or the correct port?
Is the AR set to receive notes? (check MIDI Port Config in Global Menu)
From the top of my head:
-
In the MIDI PORT CONFIG set both the INPUT FROM and OUTPUT TO settings to MIDI+USB.
-
Connect a midi keyboard directly to your AR using the midi din port and try playing some notes. This would rule out any mysterious problem/settings with Ableton and/or your computer setup.
-
Make sure you are sending midi notes in the 4 octave range that the AR track responds to.
-
Are you really really sure you have the RECEIVE NOTES enabled in the MIDI PORT CONFIG?
I have a similar issue here. I can play notes from Ableton when sent to channel 1, in the lowest octave (where I can play all tracks by means of single notes).
However, when I want to play chromatic e.g. on channel 5, no notes are played. any idea?
Same here. Sending notes from Max 7 to Rytm. Doesn’t work, yet only Channel 1.
