    I've just got this up and running, but scrolling left and right through the mixer screens I'm seeing the meters on some channels getting frozen, and also duplication.

    Right now I'm seeing 5 copies of the master and 3 of the lead vocal channel…

    This pic was taken when there's nothing actually running in Live. The meters are just frozen.

    If I scroll left to display other channels then scroll back, the frozen meters have cleared (but still duplicated).

    Hey @PK The DJ I've created this thread from your post in the other one. It seems more specific and needs some attention, without cluttering the other thread. Let's continue here.

    OK thanks Jeremy. In addition, when I loaded a different project with a lower track count, tracks from the previous bigger project stayed on screen.

    So there were no other templates or folders here?

    C: > Program Data > Ableton Live 12 > Resources > MIDI Remote Scripts

    It's normal that there was no Maschine Plus folder there since it didn't exist before Maschine 3.1.

    Are you sure there is no _NativeInstruments folder, the underscore is important here be cause the flder is on top of the list.

    Have you used other Maschine controllers to control Ableton in the past? With a previos version of Live perhaps?

    No, definitely not. Under ProgramData/Ableton I have three subfolders for various versions of Live and have checked all three.

    Here you go…

    I have a cunning plan 😁 I will try the same procedure on my laptop, which is much cleaner & newer, and has never had scripts installed in the past, to see what happens.

    Well I installed a completely fresh Live 12 Suite to my Windows 11 laptop, completely fresh Maschine 3 software, copied the folders from A to B locations, configured the settings, loaded a project and……

    Exactly the same problem. Run the project and while the meters are bouncing away on the Plus screens, use the left and right Maschine Plus buttons to scroll the channels.

    The meters freeze and channels are duplicated.

    Alright, I'll try to repro that or find someone that can.

    Definitely can't reproduce on Mac. It might take me some time to check that on a PC. In the meantime, can you check how it's showing on your side here?

    Is it looking a bit similar?

    Can you also share a screenshot of your MIDI prefs? Does it look the same?

    This time I set all the stuff I wasn't using to 'none' and unticked any ports not in use. Still the same.

    @PK The DJ Well, I checked on my Windows system, I can reproduce the issue. I'll get in touch with the devs, I'll get back with more info.

    @Jeremy_NI any update on the situation?

    Also (based on a recent post HERE by another user) can we please have some clarity on exactly what we are supposed to be able to control with this mapping i.e. instructions.
