Ableton song op not running

Hello,
I am working on a system that collects color data from pixels in touchdesigner, and sends midi commands in real time to Ableton to create a sound based on the collected data.

I have 2 problems. First, the system was built on the basis of a ramp in the timer operator to create a sequence. Now, I want to add a start and stop button. For this purpose, I thought of replacing the ramp with the ableton song ramp, but the data does not run and change in the ableton song, but stands still. Even if Ableton’s timeline is running. So I can’t use this operator. I’m not sure why that operator stand still.
It is important to note that the system works and emits sounds both when Ableton is standing and when he is running.

The second problem is that I can’t record the audio, the data goes through and plays but I don’t receive the data in the form of sounds on the sequencer, and when I record nothing is received.

Any ideas? thanks

Does your TDAbleton component say that you are properly connected? If no, be sure to follow the install procedure in the wiki.

Are you using the abletonSongComponent inside the TDAbletonPackage? That one’s Connect parameter is turned off to prevent over-cooking. Turn Connect parameter on… it’s on the TDAbleton parameter page.

If it’s not either of these things, post your .toe file here or send to ivan@derivative.ca and I’ll check it out.

Hi @RiShiRan

I got your email. The problem you are having is a known issue with that version of TDAbleton. The latest official TouchDesigner build has a new version that will work for you. Follow the instructions for upgrading in the wiki: TDAbleton - Derivative

Thank you, that’s works :slight_smile:
