Describe your issue here:

After migration ableset to 2.6.x we started have issue that if we run ableset before ableton, midi devices which normally use ableton are occupied by Ableset. So now every time when we are restarting ableton we also need to stop ableset.

Please fill out these values to make it easier to troubleshoot:

  • OS and Version: Windows 10
  • Version of AbleSet: 2.6.7
  • Version of Ableton Live: 11.3.21

Same issue here. I am trying to use a M-Audio usb midi device and it is being hogged by ableset.

Hey @zdrlik, hey @brycebreeds,

Thanks for bringing this issue to my attention.

I’ve managed to reproduce it on my end and will look into a fix for it. I’ll keep you updated on the progress :slight_smile:

Leo, you are awesome. Thanks so much!

Hey all,

I just uploaded a new beta of AbleSet that addresses this MIDI issue: AbleSet 2.7.0-beta.2

Could you try this on your end and check if it helps?

I’m looking forward to your feedback!

Leo, Did the new beta update fix this problem. Ableset is currently unusable for me because is takes control of several of my midi control channels, i.e, my Fantom 06 Kez, loopbe1, and my “Markers” channel that controls lyric changes in Bandhelper, and 1 more.

Windows 11
Ableton Live 11.3.3
Ableset 2.7.0-beta 2

Hey @Randy_Storms,

The latest version of AbleSet should not have this issue anymore. Does starting Live before AbleSet make a difference for you?

If you like, you can DM me a video or the issue on your machine along with a log package so I can take a closer look at this. You can create one by opening AbleSet’s status window, clicking the settings icon on the top right, and then selecting “Create Log Package”.

You can upload all files to my support inbox.

I’m looking forward to your reply!

YES!!!  It works now.

Last week at rehearsal, about half my midi PC&CC commands we not working and I could see that Ableset had taken control of them.  I couldn't take the time to troubleshoot it, so I ended up uninstalling Abelset because we had a big wedding gig on Saturday.  

Anyway, now that I know what's happening and how to correctly load things, I am really looking forward to using Ableset.

Thank you so much for answering quickly.
Randy
