Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but if anyone is familiar with a koala+VS2 collab, I'd appreciate some advice here. I'm using AUM to route Koala to VS2, and I'm having issues with the connection. Currently, I've got no problem if i hit pads in koala's interface and they trigger visual parameters in VS2. That's all good. The 2 issues i am having is

1. I can't successfully link one pad to a specific parameter in VS, so all pads globally do the same thing. Meaning if I set the color to change from blue to yellow and assign it to pad 1, all pads change the color.

2. I can't get it to work when i hit play in the AUM control bar at the top. If I hit play, the sequence plays just fine and I can see the pads triggering in koala, but it doesn't change the VS2 visuals at all. The visual changes only happen when I manually tap the pads. Am I missing something? I want midi notes to trigger the VS2 visuals no matter what. I'd rather use midi and not audio to change visuals parameters.

i'm not sure what happened, but i swear this used to be doable. i haven't worked with anything but plugins and synths in recent days, but i distinctly remember being able to just click and drag an mps or wav or whatever directly into an audio track in ableton. am i wrong about this? i even tried copy and pasting perfectly fine wav files into it and it says it can't import it because it's corrupt. any idea on what i can do to fix this?

Is there a function similar to the MPC “manual chop” where you can just play out the sample and chop it where you want or is it only doable by manipulating start/end points in the edit window?
