MIDI Xilophone (over serial) to Ableton

I couldn't run the stand alone application on my machine until is set it to run in 32 bit mode.
Click on the Serial_MIDI_Converter_V2D icon. Then select information from the finder and click the open in 32 bit mode in the window.
Now it opens fine. It might be worth trying this and see if it improves things. You could also try running Processing in the 32 bit mode as well.
