midi knobs turning too slowly

Post by baseinstinct » Thu Oct 11, 2018 11:04 pm

The controller I am using has the knobs calibrated as too slow for ableton's knobs.

Is there a midi translator solution which can address this?

I am on windows 64 bit.

what controller is it? does it have absolute knobs, or relative encoders?

Behringer DC-1
limitless relative rotaries.

So the strange thing is that encoders in racks, instruments/effects work fine, it is only the volume faders and sends that misbehave.

(This reminds me actually that Novation nocturn I once had had the same problems - with Ableton 7 or 8 at that time)

When you MIDI assign something you can change the Mode in a drop-down meno in the Status Bar in the bottom. It defaults to "Absolute", you can change to several types of "relative". Maybe that helps since your encoders send relative.

Thanks for the tip. Wasn't aware of this option. Relative lin 2's comp is the (only) one that works.
Very unevenly, though.
