Kontrol49 + Ableton Live 9 (bidirectional)

Post by Kvetch »

Hello folks!

So I just got Ableton Live 9 and Im trying to get my Kontrol49 to play nice with it. I have it all working in one direction so far, the keyboard send all its notes and midi cc's etc to Ableton which receives them fine.

I can seem to get anything going in the other direction though. Specifically I'm trying to get bidirectional midi with the 16 pads on the Kontrol49. Ive set the pads to toggle mode on/off, and mapped them to control track mutes in Ableton.

When I switch a pad on, it turns on the track in Ableton, and switch it off it goes off. But if I switch a track on and off with my mouse, the pads on my Kontrol49 dont update to show this. The encoders also dont update to show the correct value of a knob I turn in ABleton with my mouse.

Please help me! :)
