Blocks Midi input makes no sense

The midi input makes no sense at all. My controller is set to channel 12. The note in utility HAS to be on channel one to receive a signal. I've tried changing the CH. in from the Block settings as well as the Connect settings to channel 12. Changing either one the utility stops functioning. Does anyone understand how the MIDI input is supposed to function?

What are your ensemble level midi input settings?

All works well here,i change the ch. from the panel of Note utility and it reacts to the right input.

Thanks for the feedback.

First I start Reaktor, then start with a New Rack, there are no ensemble settings to configure.

If I build starting with an ensemble, add the Util Note In, I experience the same issue regardless the ensemble midi settings. Only the Util Note In, and it must be set to channel 1.

I should note that the midi channel settings work as expected in stand alone mode. I only have this issue running as a plugin with Ableton.

I'm running on a Mac Air with Sonoma, NI says Reaktor 6.5 is compatible.

Something must be wrong with the plugin side. I can route midi flawlessly within Ableton, it could be on their side, but I doubt it.

Just for another comparison, say you drop a new instance of Reaktor on a track in Ableton. Open a simple ensemble like Monark. The default is Midi channel one. However, my controller controls this no matter what channel it is set to.

Again, this is only while running a plugin in Live. Standalone mode works fine. I have to change either the controller or midi settings to match.

I first tried as a plugin in Plogue's Bidule and all works as expected here. I can't test in Live though. Are you sure your channel gets through Live's track? Or maybe check the plugin header too in Live,are there midi settings there?

Try this:

Go to Structure View then to Connect and put your Midi In to Omni.

Omni means all channels, any channel.

I take my words back. This is a problem with Ableton Live in the way it handles midi. Ableton can only have one midi input per track. That is per track settings. However, multiple midi tracks may feed into a singular track, up to 16 midi channels. The track you install an instance of Reaktor is defaulted to channel one. For every other track required, you must feed it a new midi track, select the Reaktor track for the MIDI To, and then there is a drop down box to select any of the 16 channels. My screenshot depicts how to do this.
