Use this reference to check Klyp Session’s MIDI settings in Ableton Live, set up Surface mappings or send Live’s tempo to STRIDE.
For your first connection and note test, follow the interactive setup guide.
What Track, Sync and Remote do
Open Live → Settings → Link, Tempo & MIDI. The MIDI Input Ports section controls messages entering Live. MIDI Output Ports controls messages leaving Live.
| Switch | What it does | When to use it with Session |
|---|---|---|
| Track | Carries notes and MIDI control messages. | Turn it on for each tablet’s Instrument input to play and record an instrument. |
| Sync | Carries MIDI timing information. | Turn it on for the shared Klyp output when you want STRIDE to follow Live’s tempo. |
| Remote | Enables the MIDI mappings you create in Live. | Turn it on for a tablet’s Instrument input when you assign Surface knobs, faders or buttons to Live controls. |
These settings apply to each port. Use the port names shown by Bridge and repeat the Instrument input settings for every tablet.
Control Surface
Add one Klyp Session row in Live’s Control Surface section. This shared row lets the Remote Script handle Session’s integrated Live controls for all connected tablets.
On Mac
| Control Surface | Input | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Klyp Session | Klyp Session Remote Control | Klyp Session Remote Control Output |
On Windows
| Control Surface | Input | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Klyp Session | Klyp Session Remote Control | None |
MIDI Input Ports
Use the following settings for playing notes from PLAY.
| Input port | Track | Sync | Remote |
|---|---|---|---|
| Klyp Session Remote Control | Off | Off | Off |
| Klyp [device name] Instrument — one per tablet | On | Off | Off |
On a MIDI track in Live, load an instrument and select the tablet’s Instrument input under MIDI From. Set Monitor to Auto and arm the track. Notes played and released on the tablet should start and stop the instrument.
Surface MIDI mappings
For the tablet you want to use, turn Remote On on its Instrument input. Keep Track On and Sync Off.
| Input port | Track | Sync | Remote |
|---|---|---|---|
| Klyp [device name] Instrument | On | Off | On |
Open Live’s MIDI Map Mode, select the parameter you want to control, then move the matching control in Session’s SURFACE. Exit MIDI Map Mode and try the assignment. PLAY and SURFACE share the tablet’s Instrument input.
See Ableton’s MIDI mapping instructions for the mapping controls in Live.
STRIDE Sync
To make STRIDE follow Live’s tempo, send MIDI Clock from Live through the shared Klyp output. Open MIDI Output Ports and use the row for your computer.
| Computer | Output port | Track | Sync | Remote |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mac | Klyp Session Remote Control Output | Off | On | Off |
| Windows | Klyp Session Remote Control | Off | On | Off |
Expand that output’s settings. Set MIDI Clock Type to Song and start with MIDI Clock Sync Delay at 0 ms.
Keep Sync Off on the Klyp input ports. The Control Surface row keeps the values listed above.
Press Play in Live. In Bridge → Diagnostics, check that Bridge is receiving the clock while Live runs. Press Stop after the check.
Adding another tablet
Save your Live Set and close Live before connecting each new tablet. Connect it to Bridge and prepare its MIDI ports, then reopen Live. Add the new tablet’s Instrument input settings using the tables above. Keep the shared Klyp Session Control Surface row.
