Look at your X50 manual, starting at page 69. Read through to page 77. This will provide a good overview of how the X50's Multi mode works, which will be important if you plan to use the features of the X50 in a multi-timbral (multi-track) manner. Then read page 105 which covers synchronization.

The key to synchronization is establishing a timing master. I do not use Ableton, so I can't tell you about the settings there, but I suggest that your DAW progam (Ableton in this case) be set as the Master, and the X50 as the Slave. The word 'EXT' will show in the upper right portion of your X50's screen when this is the case.

Hope this helps some.
