I’m not sure how to do it without MT Pro, however with MT Pro we can certainly block all incoming MIDI messages from Ableton if you are adjusting a control on your Akai Force.
You have a translator like below for any 3 byte message:
Incoming : oo pp qq from Akai Force
rules:
ga=1
Outgoing : None
Another one to set a timer for when you stop moving the control
Incoming : oo pp qq from Akai Force
rules: None
Outgoing : Timer “Watchdog” delay 500ms (or whatever delay you want to before allowing incoming from Ableton)
Then the timer sets ga back to 0 when it trips
Incoming: Timer “Watchdog”
rule:
ga=0
Outgoing: None
Then translators that look at things coming from Ableton
Incoming: oo pp qq from Bome MIDI Translator Virtual 1 (Coming from Ableton)
rules:
if ga==1 then exit rules skip outgoing action
Outgoing: oo pp qq to Akai Force
Make sense? If you are already using the global variable ga, use another global variable for this.
