From 44abdbc8e258842bed361ed5a191178b561f1fe3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brody Nielsen Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2026 18:32:22 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fix #26: Add clarification about User mode animation timing Add a note clarifying that in User mode, MIDI system real time messages (start, stop, continue, clock) must be sent on Port 2, as Port 1 messages are ignored. This explains why animations may not run at the default 120 bpm tempo in User mode when no MIDI start message has been received on the active port. --- doc/AbletonPush2MIDIDisplayInterface.asc | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/doc/AbletonPush2MIDIDisplayInterface.asc b/doc/AbletonPush2MIDIDisplayInterface.asc index 34315a1..3ca2ac2 100644 --- a/doc/AbletonPush2MIDIDisplayInterface.asc +++ b/doc/AbletonPush2MIDIDisplayInterface.asc @@ -687,6 +687,11 @@ After a MIDI stop message (+0xFC+), the animations continue to run at the last received tempo.
