launchpad non-responsive
watcha peeps
Since upgrading my Powerbook G4 with Leopard the Launchpad has become non-responsive, clips fail to highlight on the pads and the menu buttons cease to operate including user1 & user2 modes.
Anyone had the same scenario?

Re: launchpad non-responsive
it's a pretty simple device, no drivers to muck with. when things like that happen to me I de-select it it in the Control Surfaces and midi in/out, restart Live and select it again. on a Mac you might not have to restart Live.
shit like that.
shit like that.

Re: launchpad non-responsive

Re: launchpad non-responsive
Im having the same problem since upgrading to Snow Leopard (10.6.2) Im running live 7.0.18
it was running perfect in Leopard and I think it even ran for a few days normally in Snow Leopard and then suddenly
Im getting the exact same problem. I tried doing a few of the things that were suggested in this thread with no success.
Anyone figure out this problem or as to why this is happening?
Its pretty annoying as I got the launch pad specifically to solve my performing live with ableton issues and it was working great until now.
I really dont want to go back to Leopard as really that is an impossible task to do just for this so does any one know of any solutions for this problem?

I've heard some nasty problems with certain mac's and usb power issues as a result of bluetooth and camera share power with their usb ports....That's why ya gotta go 17 inch in the Mac world for the 3 usb ports

Re: launchpad non-responsive
Not a big OSX user here, but is there anywhere you can go to see the usb root hub(s) power distribution?
In Windows7 it's under: Device Manager > USB Controllers > USB Root Hub > Power.
The Launchpad uses 430mA

Re: launchpad non-responsive
its not a USB issue what so ever as it works fine as a controller for my standalone audio units like chipsounds for example.
I can map it normally to chipsounds outside of LIVE using automap and it works normally and fine.
This is a LIVE 7.0.18 <-> launchpad issue with os x 10.6.2
Whom do I need to bug about this abelton or novation?
This is a strange issue, it appears to load up and work in live but the moment you trigger a file in session mode it freezes up and just does not respond at all. Anyone else see this and if so what did you do to solve this?

Re: launchpad non-responsive
Have this issue also, with live 8.1.1, snow leopard and a 13" macbook pro. deselecting and reselecting the launchpad in the midi prefs bring it back to life. weird and annoying.

I tired this it works for a second or 2 and then stops working again.
Re: launchpad non-responsive
Though this thread is a bit old, I thought I'd just add my experience with these issues...
After reinstalling snow leopard on my MacBook Pro 15", Launchpad suddenly started to get irresponsive ALL of the time...
I tried a few options, and finally figured that you really DO NOT want to have sync enabled, as this was what made my launchpad freeze constantly!
I only figured this out last night, so I have only worked with these setting for a couple of hours, but it seems to have solved the problems totally!
An my old setup, I had the same issues with errors in the led statuses, etc. - I really hope these bugs are gone too!.. But for now, the freezes has been solved!
Hope this helps someone

Re: launchpad non-responsive

Re: launchpad non-responsive
You saved my day. I'm a windows user and the launchpad started acting funny lately. It didn't show the correct status from time to time. It always did what it had to, but the light were wrong.
After a few tests, switching off "sync" seems to have solved this problem entirely. I still get it to crash for example by switching between session and user mode like a berserker (no real life situation, so not such a big problem).
UPDATE: Well, my problems are NOT completely gone, they just appear way less often.
