MIDI issues On and Off

[looneyprog]

I'm having a weird issue with the MIDI channels.
My Keystep PRO is connected via USB to Ableton.
I have Keystep's Channel 2 dedicated to a MIDI track/channel 2. There is sound on that track coming when I play notes.
When I program a sequence on the Keystep, it won't play the notes on Play. And it will also stop playing on the keyboard.
The same happens when I try to Record a Sequence. It won't sound and the notes will stop playing on the keyboard.
It will only sound back after I restart the Keystep.
Any ideas of what may be wrong? Thanx

It sounds like Ableton is sending a local control off command to the KSP. Alot of DAWs do this on launch or project open.
