Ok staple no worries I understand that, just trying to work through this maybe one of us can find a fix. Both versions not working here so...

Ok I managed to find some references to midi being loaded by SVhost.exe by searching for the ID for thr RME card. There was lots of audio drivers loads and 2 midi (I assume one for each port). So I killed the host processes and now when loading Max7 there are no midi port errors......but...there are also no midi ports haha

I did a b it more poking with process explorer and looking at what if any processes were using the Midi ports from there id.

Nothing has loaded the Midi ports...so im wondering if this is a problem with the way imp.midi works with win10?

Incidentally I had a fully clean install of win10 on dual boot so booted into that installed max7, same issue.

Just a little bit more information on this one, it doesnt seem to be the specific ports i pick, any port will give the msg in console.

imp.midiin: Failed to open port 'Elektron Overbridge 1', port may already be in use by Max. To use disable this input port in Max's MIDI settings.

Yeah UDP as method, just did a Netstat and nothing is using port 7002 already. It is odd that both this UDP method and the midi method both unable to open the ports makes me think its something holding the midi ports, although they are usable fine outside of max in ableotn when you re enable them.

The Bridge loads in max so I pop FF802 Midi Port 1 in each in and out bit next to the Oberheim Name.

The plugin loads in ableton but nothing happens and the lights dont show any activity in the bridge. Nor does the OB show any activity, or trigger than when i change patch.

Sorry about double posting, its when i refresh it seems to remember it.

Yeah so there is nothing else running in max and it happens even when ableotn isnt loaded and i just load it into max...odd...nothing else is running.

Btw there is this error when i load it in Max, even thought I have deselected it in Max Midi and Ableton Midi

I wondered aswell i saw some screen come up about demo mode, I am using Max 4 Live through Ableton Suite, do i need a full max liscence maybe?

So when i load the UDP Bridge into Max and set the midi ports,

Load the editor and set it to udp mode in live.....doesnt crash but nothing happens and no indication of anything on the udp thing in max?

maybe im loading it wrong?

Further info: tried it with the Matrix turned off incase is was an issue coming from that end, same crash. Odd.

yeah as soon as i change any controls...such as the channel in global..or any of the knobs.

I am using 2 dedicated ports on my RME Fireface 802, let me know anything else you might need to know.

have tried in live 9 32bit and 9.5 64bit.

do i need to install the imp.midi object?

Trying to get this working on PC 64bit.

One step I can figure out what you mean.

On Windows you can only use this device if the port you are sending sysex to is not used by Live, so you have to select "imp" above "MIDI Out" so notes and CCs are sent directly from the device. I guess this might affect latency.

Can you clarify? I deselected the ports in Ableton and Max App but when i hook it up live still just crashes.
