Re: Troubleshooting: Live Keeps Mapping Encoder Randomly

So, after checking again I can confirm that this is only happening when the Launchpad is plugged in, i.e. even if the nanokontrol isn't plugged in it's still mapping whatever region is selected to midi channel/cc 1/16 so long as the Launchpad is in use...

Re: best EQ for playing a DJ set in live

Tarekith's pack of DJ effects has both a 3 band EQ that's far superior to EQ3 and a 4 band EQ that emulates the Xone62: http://tarekith.com/assets/TarekithDJEFXv7.2.zip I prefer the London School of Sound DJ EQ myself: http://www.londonschoolofsound.co.uk/plugins.php Mostly because the 0 db mark is ...

Re: Troubleshooting: Live Keeps Mapping Encoder Randomly

Then the launchpad and nanokontrol have no effect and provide no midi signal input, and the launchpad doesn't get feedback from Live. Edit: This doesn't happen if neither are plugged in, by the way. Maybe I'm mistaken and it IS just the nanokontrol doing it; I was proper tired when I checked last ni...

Re: Troubleshooting: Live Keeps Mapping Encoder Randomly

No, it's just plain midi mapping. Automap is turned off and I'm not using Control Surface.
Here are the midi/sync preferences:

Re: Troubleshooting: Live Keeps Mapping Encoder Randomly

Yes I do; it happens with just the launchpad connected or just the nanokontrol connected, so presumably it's not a physical fault with either one.

Troubleshooting: Live Keeps Mapping Encoder Randomly

Hi all, Odd issue I've developed; every time I enter midi map mode, Live automatically maps CC 1/16 on my korg nanokontrol (in this case it's rotary number 3) to whatever region is selected when I entered map mode, be it a device selector, clip, rotary knob within a device rack, whatever. It's getti...

Re: SERIOUS PROBLEM: Losing Response from Novation Launchpad

Update: Now or some reason the third knob on the nanokontrol keeps getting mapped to the top field of the second track that reveals its effects panel. What the hell? The constant midi/keyboard input also only seems to happen when I have the launchpad plugged in. I did JUST get it; maybe it's a fault...

"Red Following Frame" Shows Up as Amber w/ Launchpad

Hi All, Maybe you can help me - this is kind of an odd problem. I just got my hands on the Novation Launchpad today and it seems the red frame outlining the active 8x8 set of clips in Live is showing up as a dull amber color. It's difficult to make out and makes the device/software interaction a lit...

HELP: Trouble Cueing Out using Presonus Firebox

In the Firebox Mixer software, I have Playback to Phones set to Spdif, which should correspond to outputs 7 and 8 in Live. Cue out on the...

Yep, live on the lower east side here. Getting into DJing with live; mostly psychedelic forms of tech house but also drum & bass, dubstep, psytrance, abstract breakbeat kinda shit and so forth. Often free.
