playing chords with minilab pads

[rchrdk]

this feature works fine in standalone mode - but when using the minilab as a vst in ableton 9 the pads only output single notes (from c1) no matter what chord I assign to them.
anyone else experienced this? does the chord mode only work in standalone mode?
thanks

I've experienced this too, when using the plugin in Cubase 6.  I think the issue is that the chord pads are triggered on midi channel 10 and that the host is rerouting this input to channel 1/global. So basically you end up hearing the triggers rather than the chords...

The workaround using Cubase is to setup the plugin in a "vst instruments" slot (rather than an instrument track) and route a midi track set to channel "any" to the plugin . I guess you could also route channels 1 & 10 on separate tracks too.

Im afraid I don't use Ableton, but its probably possible to check for something similar going on (midi routing/midi being rechanneled on input)

thanks, i will try that. midi channels are a bit of a new world for me but time to dive in I guess!

In Ableton you have to setup another midi track with the midi output being sent it to Analog Lab on ch.10
Works that way.  Check the pic.

there is no picture. I am having trouble figuring out how to switch to channel 10 in ableton
