      Hi, @unnamed_739,

      Thanks for the post.

      I noticed in your logs that you installed both Ableton 12 and Ableton 12 Beta. Were you having this issue with the Ableton 12 Beta or the stable version?

      Also, I wanted to check that you have the SoundFlow MIDI Control Surface setup in preferences like this guide outlines:
