Hello, for some reason, my arturia keyboard seems to be outputing unwanted pitchbend data. I do not have the time to troubleshoot the issue as it happen very randomly and without doing anything, just during daw playback. Since my keyboard goes throught bome midi translator, is there a way to disable all pitchbend data ?
Well it seems to be working so perhaps Ableton Live is reading pitch bend from the controller port directly instead of through the Bome MIDI Translator port.
You might want to also block channel pressure and polyphonic key pressure to see if one of this messages is causing the problem.
Also makes sure MPE is turned off in Ableton Live.
the only thing that’s in ‘ALL MIDI’ is the Bome MIDI Translator 1, that’s the one I am using for everything. It’s the only one that can talk to my tracks
here is the project
Arturia keylab essential is sending to ‘Bome Virtual Port 1’ inside Bome, but I don’t want the original arturia port to be connecting directly to cubase
‘Arturia velocity in’ I’ll try switching this off. I am using it to route the midi out of bome BEFORE some transposition preset and I am using this port only for 1 vst in my project, to keep an eye on the ‘pre transposed’ midi !
You have a MIDI thru path with Arturia Keylab Essential 2 so I added that as an input device for preset 10 so that the blocking translators there will also block pitchbend from Arturia Keylab Essential 2.
it seems to be working for now!
I completely forget that this particular keyboard uses 2 midi ports, one for the keybed and transport controls named 1, and the 2 for everything midi related
I also need to watch some tutorials on MIDI Thru because I think I am using it unnecessarily.
Thank you so much again, you are top tier support !
About the concept of MIDI thru, correct me if I am wrong, but the way I see it is that if there’s no bridge between the ports on the left and the ports on the right, then there’s no data passing on, or am I missing something ?
Midi through paths in the MIDI router really define only the routes MIDI messages take in absence of translators, or if ‘swallow’ is not used within a translator allowing the original MIDI message to pass through.
To route things using translators you either define the source and destination within the translator or you delegate the definition to the preset. If there is no default delegation in the preset, it defaults to the ports selected at the project level. In most cases I like to define the source and destination at the preset level and I organize my presets in my projects by this.
For more information about device selection, see this tutorial which hopefully explains this concept more fully.
