I've setup my Kiwi-3P with the Patch Editor but have an issue when automating the MIDI CC's in Ableton Live. 

As soon as there's a sloped increase or decrease in the automation lane the 3P can't deal with it - straight lines are fine. I'm unsure if it goes into a midi loop but it works well until theres a ramp up or down then it freezes. Maybe the data of the automation changing is overloading the 3P? This is the same whether using the PE or going straight out of the 3P into my sound card - I've tested multiple midi cables and 2 interfaces.

My current MIDI routing is: 
3P IN > PE OUT 
PE IN > RME OUT
RME IN > 3P OUT

As automation is critical to my workflow is there anything you can think of that may be causing this? I know it may be Live itself and will look to test in another DAW but thought I'd ask incase this has been resolved by anyone.

Any insight would be a big help!
