Just purchased the DCO-106. Loving it, but when I use it in Ableton I cannot seem to use the dials that I have already MIDI learned on the standalone instrument, nor map new instructions using either MIDI learn on both Ableton and the instrument. I might be missing something obvious!

Same Ableton Live issue here Running Live 10.1.25. on Windows.
Works fine with Midi Learn in standalone version but not possible to use in DAW.

When you move the knobs and sliders on your controller, does the DCO-106's MIDI toolbar light up? If it does not, then Ableton is 'eating' those messages. That usually happens if your MIDI controller is set up as a "Control Surface" as shown here:



When it's set up as a Control Surface, Ableton consumes the MIDI messages for sliders/knobs and does not pass them on to the plug-in. You can either remove your MIDI controller as a "Control Surface" in Ableton, or you can use Ableton's own parameter mapping system to control DCO-106. The same applies for any plug-in in Ableton.

Thanks!

Thanks Dan!

Didn't have Control Surface on, but changed MIDI ports Remote to "Off" for my DCO-106 Midi master keyboard.
It now works fine in Ableton Live.

Thanks for a fun little synth
