I also tried these steps and found no answer, and noticing this person in 2014 gained no solution.

Did they return the product?

I assume user stories will help;
– if i restart ableton and don’t move the tempo on 45000, i can make ableton stay on a similar bpm
–> however i want to change the BPM often during a live performance, this functionality breaks ableton and the performance
– if i touch the tempo on the 45000, ableton starts bugging out, and can’t remain consistent w/ the bpm, causing loops to jump around
–> this functionality breaks ableton
– if i restart ableton, get a chance to start all of this over
–> this is a lot of work and I can’t do this live
– ableton is unable to send start/stop record to the device
–> unlike every device in my studio
– ableton breaks when i use the device as the master of the tempo or play button
–> which is the only reason i bought this item
– the EXT clock button does nothing.
–> however it does say it’s a thing

I’ve spent the last few days trying to find workarounds and not making any music.

The 45000 is amazing hardware when i do not plug it into a computer and expect it to function like the rest of my gear.

I had a feeling midi started before this product was generated and likely there are success stories on this forum, however ive found none by googling or searching the forum.

I will read the interesting printed document that came with this item, however it’s not exactly worded in a manner that makes a ton of sense when I read it and has often required me to read it multiple times before making sense of the product. I find it’s easier to use it to figure it out before I can understand the text being used.

Hope I can figure it out, really wanted this to be a part of the ableton experience, however it’s becoming a nightmare of troubleshooting in forum posts that predate my purchase, which leads me to believe i should consider the 95000 or other alternatives.

best, keamo
