live 3.04 & doepfer drehbank

Post by zendo » Mon Jun 07, 2004 1:50 pm

hello everybody,
during a live-set on friday, my drehbank suddenly stopped working, even though live still showed midi-signals coming in.
can somebody tell me what happened?

thanks fpr your help,
z.

i had the same problem :

make sure you didn't press the bank buttons on the left
that do switch to the other bank (in case other midi data
gets sent, that probably isn't mapped in live, hence the
feeling of 'this is not working anymore'). it happens quite
often when i'm not careful and now i try to avoid mapping
the leftmost column of buttons


i'm pretty sure that's the correct reason :)

isn't there a problem with volatile memory that makes it mandatory
to somehow "write" the settings in memory.? i don't recall the exact
details

did you check with a midi monitor which midi msgs actually get sent ?

maybe a current spike did reset the settings to factory ones....

did you try to reprogram it ?

sorry, i didn't really get, what you were saying...

is there an easy way to "reset" the drehbank v1 and to be able to use it again with live immediately?

thanks for your help,
z.
