LoL. I'm imagining Novation cutting a really good deal on thousands of USB 1.1 ports that had been salvaged from a warehouse fire in 2002....

LP is fantastic. The right size, the right price, and the right functionality.

But, I don't like that double click feel it has, but that can largely ignored. I also don't like hue of orange LED, the user 2 button is labeled unfashionably 'user 2', and it's too light weight to take it seriously.

So I opened it up and filled spaces with fishing weights. Now it feels like a real bit if kit when I pick it up. Also, I inserted squares of colored cellophane under the orange buttons. Looks great!

Now LP is perfect.

I have had parts on order with Novation for over 2 years for my Supernova2. They constantly tell me 2 weeks. Terrible company with worse service.

hey john gordon: now that you've fixed your problem by installing the driver, could you edit your the name of your thread in order to not mislead readers of this forum?

My buddy totally just bought one because your thread here told him not to. He's such a bad boy! I asked him what he was rebelling against and he just shrugged and said "What you got?"
