Getting Ribbons Set Up With Ableton Live

Hi @Chadalien77 I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble getting Ribbons to communicate with Live via MIDI. I’m happy to help you get things sorted.

FYI, I have moved your reply to a more relevant thread about getting Ribbons set up with Ableton Live.

Two things for you to review:

  1. First, how are connecting Ribbons to your DAW? Are you using a MIDI to TRS adapter? If so, which one? Not all DIN MIDI to TRS adapters are the same and there are a number of different standards. Ribbons is compatible with a couple of different wiring schemes which are detailed here in the online manual. There is also a forum thread called What MIDI cables work with Ribbons? which lists some verified cable solutions in case that’s helpful.
  2. Please review my post above which includes instructions for configuring Ableton Live to send data through your MIDI / audio interface using a MIDI channel.

After looking this over you are still having trouble feel free to let me know here or by emailing support@kinotoneaudio.com - I will do my best to provide advice specific to your setup.
