Live control can hear but can't speak

[mosfran]

Hi there.

First of all, congratulations to the maker of this amazing Ableton Live controller.
And for free.. wow, good man!
Here is the story
I'm on mac 10.6.4 with Live 8.2.
I've followed point by point all the configuration (even the python 2.5.1 thing) and it works (red rectangle and all that stuff) but only in one way.
Every movement and action I'm doing in Live is visible on Live control but Live control can't... hu... control Ableton.
Any Idea?

Thank you and happy new year

François

I am having the same problem with the same version of live... Would rather not have to reinstall the prev version. Anyone else seen this?

I have the exact same situation on my Macbook. Most recent Snow Leopard, most recent Live, TouchOSC on my iPad receives from LiveControl but cannot control Live. Using an ad-hoc network, no firewall. I get the red ring but only one-way communication.

Just solved my issue.

Turns out that for whatever reason the ports posted in the instructions were not what was set up on my machine.

Changing the outgoing port back to 5000 did the trick

@ d4dirty.

Just thank you. Works perfect.

OK, I got 2-way communication working, but keys and drums aren't sending MIDI. I do have Live set up to track from LiveControl. Any thoughts on that one?

[mosfran]

Hi again.

Just like pbajzek, drums and keys don't send midi to Ableton.
There is something very strange. Instead of hearing a vsti for exemple, I hear a cheap piano sound as if the sound comes from the GM of the Mac's soundcard.
Answers?
Thank you.

Mosfran, I had that too. In livecontrol I selected "TO livecontrol 1" instead of "AU DLS synth." This eliminated the mac built in piano sound, but still no key or drum response in Live.

Fixed the piano problem that i was hearing..... changed my live control Midi port from LiveControl1 to LiveControl2... unfortunately i still am not able to get the drum pads to or keyboard to work. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Hi, I'm in the same situation, can hear no speak..where do I look for the incoming/outgoing ports on my Mac? running no firewall...
