| hi jeroen - this is awesome - thank you for putting together and sharing - unfortunately I can't get the midi interface port step to work - when I click on the drop down menu, the following list appears: Off Session 1 Session 2 Launchpad Launchpad Elektron TM-1 Elektron TM-1 from MAX/MSP 1 from MAX/MSP 1 ...none of which are midi interfaces that I have... and none of my own MIDI interfaces appear... which means I can't select the MIDI interface that I use for my TX81Z could you let me know if I'm missing something here? would be amazing to have this working!! |

| Hey, Ok let me take another look at that. I thought had just solved this problem because it was working on another computer, and updating the midi port list perfectly... but somehow now it's not updating again. be back soon.. |

| jeroen, first thanks for taking the time to make this , so cool! but..i too am having the same issue as mattsingmin. i can trigger the program changes but that is it and the list is only showing : Off Session 1 Session 2 Launchpad Launchpad Elektron TM-1 Elektron TM-1 from MAX/MSP 1 from MAX/MSP 1 eagerly await a fix as i cant wait to try this out. thanks |
| hey, i will look into it again soon. it was made using Max5 and tested in live 8. The patch uses an external object lh_midiin and lh_midiout, which has a version for both max5 and max6. so i'm not sure if that could be a problem.. i know maxforlive in live9 works wih max6, so not sure if it will run max5 patches |

| Can someone using Live 8 / Max 5 confirm this editor works for them? |

| Hello. Use Live9Max. The same problem, do not work changing operators. how to install the device port? |
Posted on June 15 2014 by vladimirrusanov (report) |
| try updating lh_midiin and lh_midiout objects http://cycling74.com/toolbox/midi-inout-for-maxforlive/ i don't have ability to test it because i don't own live9/max6 |

| Did anyone figure out how to fix this? |

| This will load in a 32 bit version of LIVE 9 but not in the 64 bit version. I can get it to load in the 32 bit version and change patches from the panel to the TX81Z but none of the other features work. Would love an update this would be so fantastic Cheers Steve |

| Hi Steve Good to know about 32/64 bit. i will try to look in to it using demo versions of live9 and max6 since i don't own those yet. some questions: -do you see your midi ports popping up in the menu on the left? -did you connect your TX both ways to the computer using the same port number? -did you select your midi channel to match the TX (even if it's channel 1 and it looks like it's already on it) -Jeroen |

| Been checking it on Live 9 (32bit) and works just fine here! Make sure the following setting on the TX81Z are correct (Utility menu): - Exclusive: ON - P.change: COM - Receive CH + Transmit CH should be the same channel. let me know if that works for you. |

| Hi, I am able only to change the program (preset) from m4l. Running Live 9 with Max7. Will appreciate any advice. Thanks! |
| By the way, what is this port list? What should I choose? Thanks. |
| Ok, looks like it relies on lh_midiin and lh_midiout objects which work only under OSX, not Win.. :( |
| hi, my tx81z says "midi buffer full" when i try to change the parameters, the only thing working is program change. any help? thanks! i am on live8 |
| Hi First of all, thanks for making this! I've got it sort of working inside Max, but inside Live I don't see my MIDI device on the list. Inside Max I can select my MIDI device and it kinda works otherwise, but the load button doesn't work so the sliders & knobs are not updated with the values of the patch selected on the TX81Z. I can start editing them blindly, but it's not super useful :-P (Live 9 & Max 7.) |
| Please re-download and replace the old one, and give it another try. The midi port updating problem is common but it's hard to solve since it works on my own computer.. let me know if this works! |

| Mhhh, never mind, that won't be a solution.. I was able to recreate your problem on my system but couldn't repair it. If i load the old version of the editor my midi device list will even update live when i'm pulling usb cords out and back in.. honestly I don't even know how it does that..! I will do some research on other m4l devices and how they handle midi port list updating.. |
Posted on February 23 2017 by jeroenliebregts (report) |
| OK, I might have found what went wrong there, please re-download, try again and report back! |

| Hi Jeroen, I just downloaded your max4live device and I am also having a similar issue reported: I see "other" midi ports rather than my own. I tried to edit the device and typed in the device I am using, but it does not respond. I've also looked into the lh_midiinoutV1.03 link you posted but I can't seem to use that since I am on Windows 7 Pro. I don't think it's an issue with only your device, I think this may be a bug of sorts with Max and Live. It would not be a bad idea to contact support for either group. I tried loading a midi device from another company and it did not load any of my midi devices (which Ableton easily recognizes). Once again, thanks for the editor, it would be AMAZING to have this working, let me know if I can help you test.. cheers! LVF |

| Windows won't work because lh_in and lh_out objects are not compatible. The midi port update problem i'm having a hard time with, i've copied it from another m4l device which was working well on my machine and it worked well here.. no not sure what's going on there.. |

| Hi, i tried your editor and got the same problems. I'm on live 9,m4l 6, osx11.11.5. I really would like to get this working since it's the only editor i can use in ableton that supports sending and receiving sysex data. And it looks good and clean. I got 6 circlons midi ports, probably yours ;) Strange thing is, some people got it to work, i also found a altered patch degrader version of your m4l device. But in that device same problems, i get the midi interface names of the guy who altered it. Any updates about this? I would like to help if possible but, i don't know much about creating in m4l. Greetings Chris! Greetings Chris |

| The weird thing is that for me it updates the midi port menu even when i'm pulling usb cables live. For the rest of you it doesn't update and just has in memory the last midi configuration that was used before uploading it.. Maybe you guys could find another m4l device that uses a menu with midi devices that DOES work on your system, let me know which one that is and I can see how it works and hopefully make mine work.. |

| hi! can you wxplain how have you done that? i'm working on a dx7 editor and i think that your work can really help me a lot text me at ninmiso@gmail.com thank you a lot! |
| Hi, downloaded and installed your editor. Same problem as all the other users. It would be great to see this work for my setup iMac with OS 10.13.2 an Live Suite 9.7.5 Any chance this will happen in the near future? The TX is a great piece of gear but a pain to edit via the mini display. Let me know if you need help, would even spend some money to see this come to life. |
| Same as everyone else, i am just live 10, and it does not show up my midi devices. Please, can we get an update on this? It would mean EVERYTHING! Thanks a lot! |
| I found what you asked for! http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device/4667/h9-remote Here is a plugin that successfully finds all my MIDI devices, even on the latest ableton version! Could you merge the sourcecode with your plugin? |
| Very nice :-) the only thing missing is a send patch button... i can receive but i would be great being able to resend all the parameters if they are saved with the project. |
