sh-201 in Ableton Live

[shinobi]

Can anyone help me with the set up of sh-201 in Ableton Live. No matter what I do I can't manage to make it work.

you might want to explain how you have it connected so someone could offer some proper advice.

When i have it on midi channel 1 for the sh201 editor & audio coming back in of the patch selected from the sh201 on channel 2, I can still hear the sh-201 playing over the top of the new midi channel/vst that is selected on what ever channel, so basically the sound from the sh201 plays over the top of all my other channels when their selected. IE the massive i have running on midi 3 when i touch the keyboard i can also hear the auido from channel 2 playing the editor on midi 1 playing over the top of the vst instrament i have selected???

I have switched local off.

I do ot need to use any audio cables out of the outs puts if i am using usb midi/audio? I should be able to select the routing? Which is another thing that is doing my head in.

I want to be able to use the sh201 on one channel for midi with the vst editor, channel 2 for the sudio in from the sh201 & then use the 201 as a midi controller for the rest of my song with without the sound i am using out on the synth on ch1/2 plaing over the top of the new selected vst instrament???

Also if i am using the sh201 as a controller & a synth do i turn the local off on all channels im using it as a midi controller & local on on the channel i am using it as a synth?

Also on Ableton you have midi receive all, do i need to individually assign midi channels to vst's & the synth or does this happen automatically???

Sorry to be so long winded but i have spent a whole weekend trying to solve this problem, i have spoken to roland tech in uk & ableton but i am still baffled???

Hi Shinobi,

I'm thinking about getting a SH 201 to use as a controller for Live 7.

Did you manage to resolve your issues?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated,
