I'm trying to use a Nektar Impact GX61 MIDI controller with Ableton Live. The controller works good but the customizable input buttons seem only to work with a momentary behaviour and not a toggle behaviour (see this for further explaination -us/articles/209774945--Toggle-and-Momentary-MIDI-functions-in-Live). This makes impossible to use them as a track arm switch. The only toggle command available is "program change", but Ableton Live does not support it ( =75383) So I'm trying to use Midi translator classic to translate a program change input to a random keyboard output and use it to arm tracks.
Now, back to topic. I installed Midi translator classic. If I understood the manual, I need a virtual midi device to connect the output from the program to Ableton Live. I installed LoopBe1, the only one still available from the list. I set up the program using Nectar gx61 as input and LoopBe Internal MIDI as output. Then i set up Ableton Live to use LoopBe Internal MIDI as input.
But the moment I try to use this in bard performance, or even typing in game chat, nothing appears. Is there a way to fix this? Did FFXIV change the way inputs are handled such that using a midi translator is no longer possible?
With v1.6 or 1.7 I used to be able to create a button on a midicontroller that would open and close specific windows on my windows computer, like "C:\Program Files", using a translator in bome, using the same button, going from "xx yy 7F" to "xx yy 00" (midi value going from 127 to 0), and the use of another translator using WM_messages.
