QLC+ to MIDI with Ableton Live or FL Studio?

Hi, I have a problem with the MIDI send from FL studio or Ableton and looking for a solution.
When I set midi to my keyboard (Impulse) and presses the keys it auto detects the keys as F#4, F5 etc..
When I record some tracks in Ableton or FL studio and play them, QLC+ constantly blink the joystick even when no keys are pressed (track is playing) and when I try to auto detect keys, it only shows 530:? or 531:?
Why is this happening? What have I done wrong?

IMG MIDI input on QLC+

MIDI settings in Ableton
Thanks!

1. Can you post your qxw file here?
2. Can you do MIDI dump of what Ableton sends?
530/531 is MIDI Beat Clock, see the table at the end of

This is what happens when you check "Sync" in ableton. Most probably you need to check "Track" or both.

Thanks, I have tried with sync + track, and only track with no luck. MIDI-OX is only seeing my keyboard input, nothing happens when I push play in Ableton.

Picture of keyboard input log from MIDI-OX (and how it's set up in MIDI-OX)
I can upload my qxw tomorrow.
Thanks again.

If MIDI-OX doesn't see anything, then most probably the problem is either in Ableton, in LoopBe or in MIDI-OX...

Never mind, just found out the problem. In FL studio you need to use MIDI out plug-in aswell!
I can make a short tutorial next week. I'm sure there are more people wanting to do this

That would be nice since I've been a long-time user of FL Studio and have been wanting to get into MIDI triggering for shows.

Nice! It's works really well, and makes it a lot faster to create a show.
Will make a tutorial after this weekend.
