Arena midi mapping issue, help please!
Posted: Sun Aug 10, 2025 10:53
Hello,
I've been using Arena with Ableton Live for my band show.
Basically we are using two compositions (two different setlists).
Ableton Live hosted on a macbook pro sends a MIDI note to a MAC mini that host Resolume Arena 7 and it triggers a column with a video.
As we are using two composition we are going to change everytime the midi default.XML file because every setlist has its own Ableton project with its set of midi notes.
It happens randomly that the videos are not starting at all and only a Mac mini reboot fix the situation, we tried to disconnect and connect again the midi interface but nothing happens. Just a complete reboot of the system solve the issue and the issue is completely random as Arena loose the connection or something similar.
We started to have this problem when we started working with the new composition. When we were using one single composition we never had a problem. I really don't know what to try out more.
Is there anyone that can help me please?
Thank you in advance
Francesco
