problem with ableton and midibox?

[dontplaymygame]

hi i just finish my midibox and everything is functioning normal, accept for one thing. when i press a push button from my midibox, a note sound can be heard on ableton..

does anyone know how i can eliminate that note sound and from where it is coming?

I moved this to misc, because this is an ableton usage question rather than a midibox troubleshooting one... The button is meant to send a note message, so the midibox is working :)

ok the buttons are sending an on/off note, but can the note sound be eliminated in ableton?

- so you do want the midibox to work with note on/off messages? if not, you could easily use control change messages instead.

- if you need note on/offs to map to anything, then sure, just send on a different channel, or configure different channels for your tracks in ableton.

- aren't there a 'track' and a 'remote' switch for each device in the midi preferences? I think 'track' is for midi notes of the particular device to record melodies, and 'remote' allows to use the note messages of the device to be mapped. I haven't got ableton here, so tell me if I am wrong!

Yeh, please share the answer with everyone, so that others can benefit from your experience :)

so the midi preferences need to be:

input-all on

output-remote off
