Hi there,

I'm trying to access the velocity levels from my Alesis Photon X25, but I want the velocity from the AXYZ controller part of the controller.

That's the round part in the top left hand corner:

Awesome I always wanted to know how to do that....

Freaken wow, you guys are terrific, thanks so much for the info,

I thought I searched through the manual, but I must have not been thourough enough.

Thanks very much,

Hi there,

Sometimes when assigning a particular rotary controller to a midi function in Live I get an error message to the effect of:

"Send D is awaiting pickup"

This particular example comes up when I assign the midi control to a send to return track D (hence the 'send D')

The error seems to ...

Ahuh bingo!!!! Yup Live 7 was causing a problem that meant Live 6 wouldn't load my Midi controller

I should add that all these crashes happened after I installed live 7, I'm going to uninstall it now that I think about it and give it a go.

If I load Ableton Live 6.0.10 with my Alesis photon x25 it crashes.

The crash happens at the splash screen, so before the full program loads.

I have loaded the latest firmware for the Photon, and I'm running Vista Business. Can anyone think what might be the problem?

The photon has worked fine up ...

THanks HEAPSSS Forge, that did the trick.

Live 6.0.7 Runs perfectly, but i installed Live 6.0.10 and it loaded once, now it won't again... I can't figure out why. Any thoughts?

check in the system properties, specially around the device manager :)

I know vista can emulate old ms os behavior, maybe it will help the photon a bit.

On the other hand, the problem can be related to the soundcard of the x25, as you prolly know that type of devices ( like the video ones) have ...

What is that and where would i find that? Thanks for replying

Thanks for the adice, but i refuse to go back... Xp shat me, and vista is running my tablet interface so smoothly that it'd be a shame to loose it. So i guess i'll have to wait either for someone who has dealt with this problem, or for Alesis to provide a patch or update the drivers...

well, i'll ...

Ahhh so it seems i'm not the only person to experience problems with the Alesis photon x25 and Vista:

I'm rather annoyed, because I like the way vista runs, other than this little glitch, but i really need my x25!!

I'm yet to hear ...

He peeps,,

I was wondering what steps i should take to figure out a problem i'm apparently having with my Alesis photon X25. I have a suspicion that the problem is due to the X25's incompatibility with Windows Vista (which I've never used before). This is the story:

Ok so i just got a new computer ...

I reccommend the

Macbook,
Macbook Pro,
and the Mac Pro.


Any other machine would be useless and totally inadequate for your needs
Yeah you know I had a look at the HP and being dissapointed, and rather unenthused by the other tablet pc's available. So i still want the touchscreen capacity ...
