Weird one this... I was working on a song yesterday in Ableton 8.2.6 and I started adding synths - Korg M1 (New, Assign) Dune (New, Assign), Nexus (latest, AiR.

Each midi track I opened and drew or copied data to played back fine until I started picking different sounds from each synths preset menu.

At this point, when I stopped the song looping and clicked the cursor in at the beginning, all the sounds I had just chosen defaulted to factory preset No.1 as I hit PLAY.

Also, all the filter automation I had just drawn in was muted (the button to the right of OVR in the transport was lit RED.

I cannot get Ableton to keep my arrangement or stop f*cking up my sounds. I have never seen anything like this before.

Nexus is the only synth that retains it's chosen preset in this situation.

 

post on ableton forum it's good for stuff like that

 

ArcticStorm is right, every time you import a midi clip set ALL of those to none before playing the clip, otherwise it will change your preset, afaik you have to do this each time you import a new midi clip, it can get a bit annoying actually, i wish they fixed this by adding a setting in the preferences to set all midi clips bank, sub-bank, and program information to none upon import
