Hi All,
Relatively new user here, just trying to send a CC value to live. I can see the midi signal from the CC value hit Live but the parameter is not changing. I did check to see that the parameter and the CC value from Synfire are the same numeral. Anybody try this? Does it work? Maybe I've overlooked something.
Thank you, jeremy

i made a video that showed setting up automation between synfire and live, not sure if this is what you are after, its not great quality but might help...

I thought id had this working in the past but you are right it doesnt work now.
Synfire is sending the midi cc values through as if you record a clip and look at the clip envelopes the midi cc data is there but there no longer seems to be a way to map the control to a live native instrument (or instument rack).
If i got into the midi key option (ie lives learn function) and alter a control on my controller it does work but not when using synfire.
Not sure if this is something that can be changed by cognitone? can you have a look Andre?

I have been experimenting with MidiShaper and in the process I realize that the above problem is a limitation with Live which for some bizarre reason will not process CC messages to its own instruments VIA the MIDI channel. Lives own instruments will only process CC data coming from an external MIDI port (with Remote enabled in preferences) or a Virtual MIDI Cable. Regular VST instruments WILL process CC changes through the MIDI Track. Annoying limitation.
