???
Good afternoon,
I just bought SparkLE after searching for it for a long time and I am very happy with it!
In Studio One 3.5 the controller works flawless, connects fine as well as in Standalone mode.
The issue occurs with Ableton. Everytime I get an error that connection failed. Although the pads play, none of the other buttons work. (Select, pattern, bank, stop & play etc. - same occurs in Cubase as well)
Ableton is my favorite DAW, so for me it is quite a set back not being able to use my new controller in Ableton.
Is there a specific midi remote script for SparkLE in Ableton to be used as a resource for SparkLE to function? If so, where can I obtain it?
I have tried all midi settings in Ableton with no effect as the error message of SparkLE suggests. I have also searched the internet for solutions, with no luck, tried some scripts that make the SparkLE behave weird. I have firmware 1.0.0.3
I would highly appreciate any feedback
Kind regards,
Kornilios

Hi there, I think I nailed it! ;D
You need to set SparkLE in midi mode (press the 3 buttons: filter, slicer, roller > simultaneously)
After that start up Ableton and set all all midi connections to SparkLE to off (it doesn't make any difference anyway)
Add SparkLE to a track and press the 3 buttons again to get to normal mode.
Now the SparkLE software will detect the hardware in Ableton and connection succeeds
Eureka!
The should put this in he manual...
have fun! ;)
