Apollo Twin & Live Monitoring in Ableton

[Dumpling]

Hi there!

As I proud owner of a first-time Apollo Twin, I tried to use my Roland JV1080 and ran into some confusion.

I attached the JV1080 with Mono-Instrument Cables to the back inputs of the Apollo.
The MIDI-Ports were connected with an Midimate EX.

I launched Ableton and used the "External Instrument" and connected it this way. I made some sounds but then as I opened console and put the Analog 1 and Analog 2 to zero, I realized that I was listening to a double signal.

As I read before, I tried to put the Monitoring on the Ableton channel to Off, but then I couldn't play/hear (not sure) anymore. The Monitoring had to be on Auto or On and the channel muted, so I had only a single signal.

Is this the right way?

This is more of an Ableton/DAW related question
I would disable software monitoring and track via console instead.
Software monitoring causes unnecessary latency while recording.
It’s always off on my systems.

It's understandable that you have two signals. You have hardware monitoring from Apollo and also software monitoring from the DAW.
