I did make sure the cable was using midi out 1 , but not sure if the novation was set to use that, is that what the problem could be?

Ok I cant really find much information how to set the remote sl up just for midi, this is really weird if anyone can simplify this for me that would be great I just can find which menu I should get into on the novation to make sure its sending midi out the right port

I was having the same problem , I have a Remote SL set to midi 1 with my Virus A , check on the Virus that it is not set to Midi thru , that was my problem all is sweet now

where do I check that?
