Live 6 + Creamware Scope XTC Synths = MIDI Issues

huffcw · Post by **huffcw** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 7:35 pm

The issue appears to be MIDI overload from within Live causing jumbled and delayed MIDI being sent to the Creamware DSP synths. I believe it is an issue with how Live is communicating with the Creamware MIDI driver. I tested to see if it was something with the Creamware card by trying a similar setup with Sonar 6 (Sonar 6 had no issues with jumbled or delayed MIDI being sent to the Creamware synths). I also tested the communication with several software synths - and no issues appeared. So, I believe I have isolated the issue to it being a problem with Live communicating MIDI appropriately with the Creamware Scope synths runing on the DSP engine. Any ideas?

Thank you.

No answers here. No reply from Ableton support. Should I give up and move on? - Sonar works fine - but I will miss Live.

Disappointed!

Never tried to run in XTC mode since one of the things I like about scope is the flexibility the scope environment gives you.
But it seems like many people are complaining about XTC not being to reliable.
I never noticed the issue you are having running my devices in the scope environment.
