When trying to use Live to sync the PP the Play does not recognize the clock in, nor any notes played using the external instrument midi channel with the Play set for Midi in USB.
Hello @tallguyclark, I’m sorry you’re experiencing issues with your Play+. I replicated your settings in my Play+, and I have clock sync and transport. My settings in Live are below.
That is the exact configuration I have been using. If I can control Live with play as master then I would think the only difference should be to uncheck The EXT box in Live and to set the Clock in on Play to Midi In USB…correct?
I have the same problem. Play+ will not respond to Clock In: MIDI In USB and Transport In: MIDI In USB when using USB audio. When Live starts playing, the Play+ doesn’t do anything. It does respond to MIDI In Jack if I wire everything up with a DIN cable. If not using USB audio, Clock In: MIDI In USB and Transport In: MIDI In USB works as expected.
This is with firmware 1.0.1b and 1.0.0.
Mac Studio M1 Ultra, Sonoma 14.2, Ableton Live 11.3.13

Hi, is there going to be a fix for this Midi clock issue, and if so, do you know when? I can’t get the Play+ to respond to Midi Clock over USB. I just got it and need to return it within the return period if a fix isn’t coming. I have to have this sync’d to my DAW and setup for it to be of any use. Thanks.
I’ve never tried to have my Play receive clock in but I have tried notes in over usb with a very very low success rate. Sometimes booting the play fully to a project file who’s already set to midi notes in over usb and then plugging the usb midi controller (launchpad x fwiw) into the midi host box (doremidi duh-10 fwiw). That could just be random reboots fixing the issue and my careful power up steps are unnecessary though.
