Agreed. It's really frustrating. I have a feeling it's less about Helix Native though and more about Ableton. Still, more guides would be helpful. By the way, as part of my troubleshooting process I downloaded Reaper and it was the easiest to get working and verify that Helix Native was in fact capable of seeing midi messages from my controller. MainStage was a no go, Ableton seemed like it should work, but mysteriously wasn't. Reaper just worked. Unfortunately I don't care much for the interface and Live wound up being a better fit. That being said, I've run into some other head scratchers with Ableton Live that I've had to find some creative workarounds for so it's not perfect.

Well. I lucked into the solution. I hate giving up when it seems like something should work. To get Helix Native to receive midi messages in my setup as described above, I had to RIGHT CLICK on the Helix Native plugin title bar and check "Enable MPE Mode". Now the "Midi In" lights up when midi is sent from my controller.

Helix Native in Ableton Live Not Receiving Midi Messages I've spent countless hours working in MainStage and can get things working with plugin automation (add a button, map midi from controller to button, assign that button to toggle Helix Native control). What I would prefer is to just have Helix Native respond to the Midi messages as specified in the manual. I realize that is impossible with MainStage because MainStage doesn't send midi to audio plugins so I decided to try Ableton Live Lite since midi can be routed to plugins. Unfortunately I cannot get the midi message light in Helix Native to light and respond to midi. MacBook Pro 14" M1 Max macOS Monterey 12.1 Ableton Live 11.1 Build: 2022-01-27_9922074e99 Morningstar MC8 Firmware v3.9.6 Helix Native v3.15 I can verify that midi is being received from my Morningstar controller. I see it light up all the correct places in Ableton to indicate that midi is being received. I have tried rebooting I have tried trashing Helix Native prefs in the `/library/Application Support/Line 6/Helix Native` directory I have tried both the VST3 version of Helix Native as well as the AU version of the plugin. Here's the setup I "think" should work: Midi Config: I don't think Remote should be necessary, but I may use the controller for automations so I left it checked.
