Axiom 49 Directlink not working!

[jeffrey.crum]

Just bought an M-audio Axiom 49-2nd gen midi controller. It came with a lite version of ableton and worked great. I liked the ableton interface so I upgraded to to the full version of Live 8.2.1, only now the directlink doesn't work. Live is seeing the midi because the keyboard works, but the rest of the controls do not. Can anyone share the secret on how I can get this thing working again?

same here with my Axiom 49 1st generation...all knobs and faders stop working...I tried to uninstall the driver and install it again, dump the controller, setup the group 19, 20 or 21 ...still nothing is happening...
it seems it's a problem with the latest ableton live 8.2 and 8.2.1 ...cause in both i couldnt make it work.. ?!!
I think we need to wait till they release a fix for it in 8.2.2, and hope this is early, cause I'm close to hit my axiom in the wall...

Hi, under Preferences->MIDI, please make sure you have "track" and "remote" enabled for the input from the keyboard.

I already have them checked ...nothing changed in my setup, only since ableton live 8.2 and 8.2.1 nothing works other but keys...I had to setup everything manually...but shouldn't be this way?!!!

Did you download the latest drivers from M-Audio?

[deejoe]

is this the version you're talking about "

Axiom 49 04/19/2010 1.1.1 Install M-Audio Axiom 1.1.1.exe

I will install it tonight and will let you know if it works or not...cause I thought windows7 x64 driver do the job like it used to do before...but anyway, I will install the original driver and report back...

cheers

I have the same problem with my new axiom 49 2nd gen! but in an other post they tell us this:

http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php? ... k#p1207848
"Guys, don't sell your gear. Unfortunately, the Axiom DirectLink script got broken with Live 8.2. We already started digging into it and will release a fix in one of the upcoming versions."

hope this will be soon

Seems the original driver from M-Audio fixed my problem...
tx for the support...
I'm all back to business now...

cheers
