Hi, does anyone know how to make ableton start when using link and pressing something on the mpc and/or the other way round. It seems that I have to press start on both.

I tried the whole day to make tis combination work: ableton live running overbridge to sync my elektron analog 4 as well as get the audio of it digitally, live also syncing the mpc one using link which is then triggering numerous other synths.
I am really frustrated as I tried the whole day and cou not get anything tight and in sync. I am tracking through a fireface 802 + adat converter.
Using midi clock works perfect but I really would like to habe those digital overbridge channels.
Help greatly appreciated.

Hi! You got this running? I have the same issue more or less...

From the MPC I can trigger Digitakt sounds and secuence them, but I can't start the Digitakt "play", neither in Ableton.

O'm trying with the EXT and the LINK and neither work... LINK detects the MPC, but that's all...

These things are a pain in the a** :Sigh:
