I was able to figure it out. It was a matter of sending the MIDI to the correct port on the drum machine. Some channels were for bass, others for drum, others for both...some did nothing...
I got it working now, thanks a bunch! The vid helped!

Plus, I'm not using an interface, I'm using the USB port on my drum machine but I don't see how that would effect things.

Re: Ableton Live 9 Midi Out Problem (8 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)
I still can't figure out what the issue could be. I have track and sync enabled in the preferences, then I followed the video as to adding the external instrument settings and still nothing.
I'm also not wanting to run my audio through my computer. Is it possible for Ableton to send MIDI data without having to route it through an audio channel? I just want it to purely send MIDI data...

Did you create a midi track, and then throw an external instrument rack on it? Then you just need to select your drum machines midi port, and the audio channel it is coming in on. Screenshots of your setup would help.
I'll try it again when I get home from the office man. I'm dying to get this working.

Topic: Ableton Live 9 Midi Out Problem (8 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)
Hey guys, I'm having a bit of an issue with Ableton 9 sending MIDI notes to my new Boss Dr-880 drum machine. I'm admittedly haven't used Ableton all that much for MIDI in the past, I've mainly used it with audio clips/samples. I have installed the drivers for the 880 and Ableton is acknowledging that it is connected but I cant seem to get the drum machine to play any sounds when I input a pattern into the piano roll. However, I have been able to play a demo loop on the drum machine by pressing play in Ableton and have gotten the drum machine to increase/decrease its speed by adjusting the tempo in Ableton...So I think I'm close to figuring this out, I just have no idea what I could be overlooking.
This is what I'm following from the Ableton website...
MIDI Output Ports:
To adjust the settings for your MIDI ports, open Live's Preferences' MIDI/Sync tab. First, enable the "Track" switch for the corresponding Output MIDI port. This allows you to send both MIDI notes to your synth to play back melodies and MIDI Control Change messages to automate its parameters such as the Filter Cutoff, Resonance, ADSR and everything else that can be tweaked in realtime.
If you are using an external drum machine, or if your external synth has an in-built arpeggiator or LFOs, you can synchronize these to Live's tempo. To enable this, activate the "Sync" button for the corresponding Output MIDI port.
Leave the "Remote" button disabled for the Output MIDI port.
And this is the machine I'm using...
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

What I SHOULD have recorded and posted was the dual DMG jam session I had going with one DMG running the bass line and the other doing all of the percussion.

Personally I think it sounds pretty close to a stock 303. Obviously the knobs aren't as dynamic and responsive but hey, it could be worse. What I might do tonight is to try and rough it up with a distortion pedal.
Who doesn't love hard, screamin' acid? I know I do.

Sounds nice.
It was just a small little simple melody I ran through it to test. There's some L and P commands to emulate the accents an actual 303 can do.

I don't know if this will work but I upload a brief little snippet on my Facebook page...I'm at work right now and don't have the ability to record anything at the moment. It's set to public so it might work...

There are not really any cons, Later versions of LSDJ support SGB pitch table so everything should be in tune. You can also add a link port.
