You should only have one checkbox checked at a time when using "Learn" in Live. @Wes: To get rid of all sensors sending data at the same time when Live is in “Learn” mode, you can simply turn them off in Osculator by unchecking the checkboxes on the left in the list.

Thanks if anyone can help please, i'd really appreciate it. well got myself a wii today, wiinstrument won’t even start so forget that. then i tried using OSCulator but it seems there no learning mode so ableton would automatically detect any movement and use it as the trigger which got really annoying after all i wanted was to turn an effect on and off with the b button i couldn’t, so i tried the next program WiiToMidi, which has a Learning Mode but it seems theres only: acceleration, orientation, position, velocity, and joystick(nunchuck). theres none for just the buttons. am i doing something wrong, i really need some help here. getting so annoyed. i just want to be able to turn an effect on/off with a button and then affect it with position/acceleration etc etc….

The internal Bluetooth works just fine. You'll want the adapter if you have a Mac without an adapter. Many PCs also lack internal receivers, and some have an incompatible receiver (might try it first) -- PC you'll definitely want to try BlueSoleil if possible. I haven't tried with other Bluetooth stacks. You shouldn’t need a separate adapter if you’ve got a Mac with built-in Bluetooth. The internal Bluetooth works just fine.
