Live (with MD & A4) Midi help!

Hi. I’m having a little bit of trouble sending midi along a chain of Elektron gear back into Live. Wondering if anyone here can help?…

Here’s my current routing set up: Live > Macbook USB > TM-1 Out > Machinedrum (MD) Midi In > MD Midi Out > Analog Four (A4) Midi In > A4 Midi Out > TM-1 In > Macbook > Live

As it is, this almost works as planned. I can control the MD and A4 from Live & play them as expected. I can also play the A4 and have the notes sent into Live. However, I can’t do the same with MD. If I trigger notes on that machine nothing is sent back to Live. If I miss out the A4 entirely and route the Midi from MD back to the TM-1 and then Live it works as expected.

So, the Midi from the MD stops when it enters the A4. If I switch the Midi Out cable on the A4 to Thru then the MD data is passed through BUT the A4 doesn’t then send any data.

Any ideas? I’m fairly certain I have all the internal settings set correctly but maybe I’m missing something?

Thanks

Hi OH/

Can you try using the thru port of the MD to A4

Just make sure everything is on its own midi channel or you’ll get the MD firing the A4 off. :wink:
