I’ve setup a midi controller to jump ahead by 1 line in Lyrics view, for songs that are not on the timeline. This was setup yesterday and working perfectly. However, today the same button programmed the same way is jumping ahead by 2 lines, even though it’s set to 1.
What could cause this change? Nothing about the system or session has changed since yesterday, other than shutting down overnight.
My OSC command is;
/lyrics/jumpByLines james 1
- OS and Version: macOS Monterey 12.5
- Version of AbleSet: 3.0.0-beta.18
- Version of Ableton Live: 11.3.13
Hey @martinlroberts!
From what you describe, it sounds like AbleSet might be receiving the same MIDI message twice. This can happen if your controller is sending data through more than one route — for example, both via USB and via a regular MIDI In port, or if another app or virtual MIDI device is echoing the message.
Could you check whether your MIDI controller is connected in more than one way, or if you have any additional MIDI input enabled that could be duplicating the your MIDI messages?
If you can, try using MIDI Monitor to see whether your MIDI controller sends one message or two. That will tell you right away if duplication is happening.
If you confirm it’s only sending once, then we’ll know the issue lies elsewhere.
That was exactly the issue!
I was using CC’s to trigger the command, and it seems my controller was sending note on AND off, which you can’t differenciate between in the AbleSet MIDI Mapper. I’ve now changed my controller to send Note on/off, and it’s working as it should now.
Thanks for your help!
