MIDI triggering issue with channel 1/note 0 [done]

Post by tlight »

I am trying to trigger scenes using a MIDI controller. Here are the details:

ShowXpress v6.281
Korg nanoPad2
Windows 7

The MIDI patch in ShowXpress is seeing the notes correctly from the MIDI controller, so that's ok. When I select a Live button to trigger from MIDI channel 1/note 0, about 80% of the buttons activate. Whenever I hit the MIDI controller pad from then on, ALL buttons inverse their state. Only the one button is being requested to trigger off MIDI. All the other buttons (about 150) are not configured to be triggered at all. I created a new lightshow and made a few scenes. I created three buttons for those scenes to work with in Live and all three buttons triggered when the MIDI controller pad was pressed. Again, just one of the buttons was configured to trigger off MIDI. I am left bewildered. :roll:

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Nice work on the Live Mobile BTW

I am attaching a .rar file of my light show. I do remind you that it did demonstrate the same behavior with a newly created light show. I also tried the demo_show with the same results; just a heads up. Thanks for the support and have a great show.

We are not able to reproduce this problem with your lightshow.
I also tried the demo_show with the same results.
If you have same problem with all lightshows, may be this is a hardware problem (?)
In order to know if computer or midi device problem, could you please do the 2 following tests:
- test with your computer and another midi device
- test with your midi device and another computer
Then please tell us when the problem still occurs and not.

AH HAH! I figured it out. It appears that when I use a different midi note to trigger with, say 45, it works perfectly. I am not the most intuitive MIDI person, so I will not investigate why that is. Thanks for the excellent support!
