If you intend to send MIDI from Ableton to the BeatStep Pro then Output Track should be ON. If you are not intending to control Ableton controls with the BeatStep Pro then the input remote needs to be OFF. If you are not intending to drive Ableton with the tempo from the BeatStep Pro then Input sync should be set to OFF If you are not intending to record MIDI from the BeatStep Pro to Ableton then the MIDI Track In track should be OFF. MIDI ports out - Track ON / Sync ON / Remote OFF MIDI ports in - Track OFF / Sync OFF / Remote OFF In Ableton preferences, your one way chain would probably succeed using the following. The two way USB connection carrying MIDI to / from Ableton is a preference that can be changed between: both ways, out only or in only, plus track, sync and remote control are sub groups of this also. The only thing in this chain that can fire Ableton clips is the BeatStep Pro via the 2 way USB connection. But even if you were sending audio back to Ableton it would not fire MIDI tracks in Ableton Session view. I assume you have audio out of drum hardware and synth going back to Ableton or off to a mixer or monitor speakers. Using MIDI Thru to pass Beat Step Pro MIDI (or drum hardware MIDI) on to Hardware Synth (one way connection away from Ableton assumed) Ableton providing MIDI notes and tempo via USB to Beat Step Pro (this can be a two way connection to Ableton unless preferences are set otherwise)īeatStep Pro Sequence 3 (purple) via MIDI to the drum hardware (one way connection away from Ableton assumed)
