I am trying to use Ableton as a step sequencer for an Analog synth, by sending midi notes to the Keylab from a computer. Nothing is being sent to the analog synth other than when I physically press the Keylab keys with my hands (as in perform live. This works great, but it's not what I'm after). I have tried setting the Ableton live midi output to "Keylab mk11 61 (MIDI)" and also using the physical midi input on the Keylab (using a separate usb to midi device), but neither has any effect.
I'm sure that I have it connected properly and that the Keylab is receiving midi notes and that Ableton is sending midi notes.
Isn't the whole point of the cv/gate outputs to be able to control analog synths with a sequencer? Most analog synths already have a keyboard, so you don't gain much by using the Keylab keys instead. It's good for one's that only have a 2 octave keyboard, so you get a 5 octave keyboard instead, but that's where the fun ends.
Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing, is this a strange design limitation or might my unit be faulty? Has anyone got this working?
