Wanting to confirm that my Ableton midi preferences are set correctly
Hello (again!),
Making some progress, but now stuck once again,
So far I’ve been able to map a bunch of parameters and send the script to Ableton.
I then opened a synth (Bazille) and opened the configuration tab at the bottom of Ableton and clicked on “configure.”
Following this, I clicked on a bunch of parameters on the synth itself, to population the configuration tab.
However, turning the knobs on my Launch Control doesn’t do anything – they don’t start moving the synth’s parameters. Ableton is indicating that the Launch Control is sending midi signals, so I’m good there. I also thought I’d set up the preferences correctly, but I think there must be an error there given my lack of success.
I’m attaching a couple of screenshots for reference. If spot anything wonky, please let me know. If it looks fine, I’d appreciate if you let me know where I should look next in order to troubleshoot this.
Many thanks in advance!

Hello Stephane,
In order to be able to move the parameters from Bazille, you first have to make a script in CSS that recognizes your soft synth. You can watch a tutorial on how to do this video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSfaVfDqt7M
In the ‘Preferences’ window of Ableton, you only want to set ‘Track’ and ‘Remote’ on for the Launch Control XL.
‘Sync’ should normally be turned off.
Also if you activate ‘Sync’ on both input and output of the same device, you will create MIDI feedback. I see a lot of ‘Sync’ on’s in the screenshot. Better to not activate them if you don’t need them.
I also see in that screenshot that you have two midi in- and outputs of your Launch Control XL. Make sure you select the correct one.
I wish you succes!
