Hello all:

I apologize in advance if this question has been asked/answered already; this is my first post.

I recently updated to Ableton Live 7.0.10 and found that the sound from clips played by Zebra drop out of the mix spontaneously (even though all meters indicate a signal). The only remedy is to open the Zebra UI and re-select the patch. (I am using the M-Audio Fast Track Pro.)

Any thoughts, similar experiences?

Sorry, not seen this at all in Live here. OSX 10.5.5...

You should state what system your on. Mac or PC. What is the CPU % at when the drop out happens? Is it a spike in cpu%?
If it's Mac OSX try trashing the preference file ableton. Check your option settings also. Latency setting. How much ram are you using?

You may want to try the lastest beta if only the first note of a clip is swallowed.

Otherwise I'd bet on an accidently MidiLearn. That is, i.e. the ModWheel is attached to output volume, ModWheel gets resetted, Output goes silent. Check any occurrance of com.u-he.Zebra2.midimap.txt for assigbnments (simply open in a text editor) and trash the file if there's anything suspicious (quit Live before that though...)

Let me know if this helps!

Cheers,

Urs

Problem resolved after trashing both the Ableton pref file, as MCnoone suggested, and com.u-he.Zebra2.midimap.txt, as Urs suggested (there was indeed some strange stuff in there). Thanks for the help, guys! (BTW, I am using OSX.)

I have a somewhat similar issue with the current z2 beta and live 7.0.10 (running osx10.4.11 on a mbp). Just happened this weekend: After playing back a z2 patch for about 10+ minutes, the speakers made a loud 'pop' and I lost all sound.. Had to restart live to get z2 working again. I can post the z2 preset that was used when this happened, if it helps...

I must admit, your thread response time is frighteningly low

Depends... I also have a weird track record of missing out on posts recently

Sorry gents, you can ignore this one. I am unable to repeat the bug. Musta been something due to the machine being up and opening and closing and playing a lot of sessions and whatever.. But now I can continue the track again, it's all good
