How to stop Ableton from starting instruments with Nome connected

Post by reneh »

Hi,

I'm using Nome II as a master to sync Octatrack en Syntakt via Ableton.
This works really well for recording , except that when I push play on Ableton to listen to recordings, it starts the Octrack and Syntakt also

No boxes are selected in the midi input en output ports, only the control surface setting en input en output

The octatrack is connected to the Nome, and the syntakt via octa midi out with the octa

How can i prevent the machines from starting, when I push play in ableton (link/follow is deselected BTW)

Any help appreciated. Couldnt find this topic in the hoitory of the forum

Hi :)

What you want to change is the "autoplay" A.PL setting on the Nome, which means it will automatically start its machines connected to when U-SYNC/DAW starts playing.
See https://manuals.simntonic.com/nome-ii/c ... sequencers

Alternatively, you can leave the autoplay on, and disable the U-SYNC plugin in Ableton before you press play.
