allennobles Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I noticed something odd as was setting up some Ableton triggers this weekend. In order to trigger note D1, I had to set the Helix MIDI note to D2. Is this intentional? It just seemed unusual to myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klangmaler Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 You're not sending notes, actually... To keep a long story short: This could happen, if the MIDI implementation (slightly) differs - in this case using Ableton (live?) and L6 Helix. There are thousands of products on the market that use MIDI - and often enough there are (even bigger) differences in using MIDI ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the first thing I'd look for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand different devices operate differently when comes to midi (my Saffire Pro 40 that I use at home and the Saffire Pro 14 that I use at church don't seem to operate the same). However, I haven't really experienced notes being an octave off without me using a specific devices transpose function.

I haven't seen that in terms of a global function in the software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to MIDI, almost everything happened to me in the past :P What about the pitch shift midi effect in Ableton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
