is the xone coming up in ableton's midi preference section?

Its not there. The device shows up as a standard USB midi. I was trying to set it up using the manual method but its still a no go.

mac or pc? You might have to configure the xone useing audio midi set up before you start up ableton. Not too sure, I dont have one but that was first thing that came to my mind

The Xone 92 doesn't have a MIDI interface built in. It's just 5-pin MIDI DIN in/out.

So I assume you have another USB->MIDI interface. That is what you want to select in Ableton for receiving MIDI.

Also, the Xone 92's MIDI is VERY limited. Only controls with the little "MIDI-port" icon transmit midi. I know the crossfader, filter knobs, and all of the light ring buttons transmit MIDI, and I believe it sends out MIDI clock based on the tapped tempo as well.

Not sure it will do what you want.
